Xbox Action Replay Issue
« on: February 19, 2013, 02:24:00 PM »

Use Xplorer360 beta 6 instead of Action Replay. Make sure you use the Krayzie 1.1.1 gamesave softmod installer. Copy the numbered folders (5553000c and 21585554) to the root of your memory card.

Make sure your current Microsoft dash is version 5960. If not, use a newer (post 2004) live-enabled game to update the dash - Halo 2 and Doom 3 definitely work - I've used them both - and Pro Evolution Soccer 4, Need For Speed Most Wanted, and Goldeneye Rogue Agent should also work. Just load the game, select the option to play on live, and the first thing the game will do is update the dash. You don't need a live account, or even a network connection. With Halo 2 you just select "Register New Account", and it's similarly obvious for Doom - and I'm sure for the others as well.

Once the dash is at 5960 you copy the gamesaves from the memory card to your Xbox using the Xbox dash. Run Splinter Cell, load the gamesave, select "basic install - UnleashX dashboard, and follow the instructions.

Only if whoever ran Doom 3 tried to go on-line with it. Don't imagine, check. It's always a better strategy....

And please don't quote the whole of an immediately preceding post.

You use Xplorer360 beta 6 with your Action Replay cable to move the saves to the memory card.

Not really getting anywhere with this, I've downloaded everything and still nothings recognising each other.  Nothing appears in Xplorer 360.  The computer does not recognise the card either even though it is connected.

I've also downloaded xport 360 and that hasn't helped.  This is starting to get a little bit frustrating.

Does your Xbox recognise the memory card?

When you say "The computer does not recognise the card", does Windows attempt to install a device driver the first time you plug it in? Does the card then appear in device manager as an unknown device?

When you try to open the device in Xplorer360 (Drive - Open - Harddrive or Memcard) does it give you an error message?

Which operating system are you using? If you're on Windows 7 then before you run Xplorer360, right click on it, select Properties - Compatibility, tick the "Run this program in compatibility mode for.." box, and select Windows XP SP3. Then right click on Xplorer360 again, and select "Run as Administrator". Then try "Drive - Open - Harddrive or Memcard" again.

Compatibility mode? On Vista it's XP SP2, not SP3, but have you tried it?

Sounds like I might have to try uninstalling and re-downloading the software I need, or else getting other devices like the max 16mb drive instead of an 8mb memory card as the max software appears to have downloaded ok and I may have a bit more success?

I'm hoping to eventually turn my Xbox original into a nice 250gb gaming machine - well thats the long term plan anyway...  wink.gif

Have you copied both folders to the memory card, and then copied both gamesaves from the memory card to the Xbox?

Unzip them.

Copy the numbered folders and all of their contents. Yes, there is more than one file, and you need all of them....

What do you mean? To get to the copy option on the Xbox, select Memory, then use the D-pad to highlight the USB memory stick (it will appear as a controller), scroll down to the gamesave entry, then press right on the D-Pad to select the actual gamesave, then when you select the gamesave the copy option appears. Do that for both gamesaves.

Well I think I now know where the problem is - the memory sticks I am using.  I downloaded another krayzie splinter cell linux package and guess what?  I have 3 memory sticks and none of them are working on the Xbox, 2 are Sandisk (one 32gb and one 2gb) and the xbox says that they're broken (when they're not - they both work perfectly on the pc).  

The other is 256mb and connects ok but is too small.

I did have a 4gb one which would have prob been perfect but unfortunately has gone walkies...

The 32GB wouldn't ever have worked - the max is 4GB on an Xbox.

256MB is NOT too small. The saves are just over 6MB unpacked......
