Usb Memory Stick Issue
« Reply #1 on: January 08, 2004, 11:39:00 PM »

I just finished flashing my XBox and installing Evox this evening, so my word means nothing.  That being said, I used the same Lexar JumpDrive 128 and it worked.

I played 007 for about ten seconds and then saved the game to my newly Xbox formatted FATX memory stick (the Jump Drive).  Then I downloaded the 007 raincoat.zip save and followed the instructions in "The Newbie Guide To 007 - Auf Tsop Flashing" pinned at the top over in the TSOP forum.

The only difference was that when it goes into getting the save game onto a memory card, I instead unzipped the raincoat zip file on my Linux computer and copied over the saved game directly on my Jump Drive, maintaining the proper folder structure.

Any help?

So what ver. of linux are you running I'm running Slack 9.1 ...how do you get fatx support... or if it was xlinux how did you get the usb stick mounted?

Thanks for the info!

I'm using Suse 9.0.

I just formatted the memory stick on the X-Box and then used:

mkdir /mnt/usb

mount -t fatx /dev/sda /mnt/usb

Try that, although I did add an entry to the fstab file.  I'm not sure if it was necessary or if it even helped.  I'll check it out and reply back soon.  Sorry for not being more informative, but I'm as new to linux as I am to X-Box mods.  (about a month)

the fstab entry was:

/dev/sda     /mnt/usb    auto    noauto,user    0 0

again, I have no idea whether this was necessary or not, but I did it and it worked, so I'm guessing it can't hurt.

Hope that works, Bogus8.

Before I start off with my post, I'd like to say: I am somewhat of a newbie at this, tho I am very fairly computer savvy and did put in quite a lot of time reading/search before posting... Sorry ahead of time for wasting anyones time, as I should just buy a MXK... But I am a poor college student, and I have to save my nickles and dimes for beer/food/rent.

***** If you think I am an idiot already, please stop reading and go look at porn or something(yay porn  :blink: ).

I just wanted to check out running linux on a non-modded 1.0 xbox and maybe see if I can get Apache and some other apps running(UAE-X, mediaplayer, etc). Plus a friend of mine just traded me 007:AUF for Bruce Lee(he got ripped off)....

Ok now to my issue: I have a 128mb lexar media "jumpdrive" memory stick and my xbox detects it just fine(and I made a xb>usb cable, yay im not a total newb). I am able to save/copy/delete games/music, on my xbox, with no problem. But when I try to use the hacked copy of mega-x software, MXM_BxBx, I am running into a few issues.. The hacked version detects the memstick fine, but I cannot see anything that was saved via the xbox. And the compacity is off.. On the xbox side the memory unit size says 7869 blocks, from the hacked version of MXK its says 2014. Now, at first I thought this could just be a false reading since the software was orignially designed only 32 mb memsticks... but when I transfer save's from my harddrive to the memstick, the compacity is adjusted correctly. And the save shows up(in MXM_BxBx) as if it had correctedly transferred it to the memstick(which I assume is correct, as it lowers the avaliable blocks on the xbox side too). But the problem is, the save's from the pc wont show up on the xbox(nor will vice versa as stated above)...... SOOOOOOO, is this thing is uploading the data to the wrong partition on the memstick? It appears to be completely compatible with my xbox, so shouldn't it be possible to use it to copy savefiles/media?

I am a xbox hacking newbie, but I do understand how the TSOP/buffer overflow exploit works.. And for the record, I am a linux server admin. If anyone has any input to this, please let me know.

Thank you very much.

Ok, I got ozx usb memory explorer off xbins. But I cannot find a 007 hacked save(fatx image) anywhere(and I dont have a copy of MA), is there one out there somewhere?

Or is there a program out there that I can create fatx images with? I think i have looked almost everywhere, i do not think it exist.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Any input will be much appreciated.
