Thanks for that bit of info Pillzburydoofus. Its given me more understanding on my situation.
Someone tell me if this is correct plz.
All of what you are about to read, I have not actually done. I would like to know what I can and can't do.
Thanks for your time and after reading can you please post a response to my concern.
I will be running Xbox-saves-manager and Mega X Key software (MXK).
Also I have my ethernet cable directly hooked to my Xbox and PC
(my PC is wireless with internet access).
The first one I am using is MXK (method)
* I have my XBOX. (not modded or tampered)
* I have my PC. (wireless XP)
1) I connect my USB 64MB IBM stick to my PC.
1A)This should allow me to get my saves off of my PC and onto my memory stick.
1B)Do my saves need extraction from the zip files or not?
1C)Using the Mega X Key software, it doesn't recognize my IBM USB stick.
I can't get my saves to transfer to my stick(using the MXK software prog.). I could unlock the stick and drag the zip files to my stick, but I'm not sure if that will work.
2) I then I put my saves directly on the USB stick. (since it wasn't recognized by the Software)
3) Next I will connect my USB stick to a Female usb cable (side).
The other end of my Female usb cable has been converted to have the XBOX
connector attached to it(device that goes in the XBOX controller port).
3ex) Example of what I mean:
XB connecter in xbox, then XB connecter and usb cable connected, next Female End of the cable and Usb stick are connected.
3A1)The order from the xbox controller port are: XB connecter, femal usb cable, usb stick
3A)I believe that doing it this way, it should allow me to go into my memory on the xbox hdd., now my USB stick should act as a memory card.
3B)Do I have to have a controller directly hooked up to the Xbox connecter or can I have a controller hooked to another port?
3C)If I cut the cord on a controller, then solder the FEMALE USB cable (opposite end from the female side) to the wires in the cord, will my USB Stick be recognized as a mem. card?
3D)Does my USB stick need to be formatted by the XBOX (or the pc)?
4) I connect my XB connecter to the xbox (like in, "3A1")
5) My xbox ON with NO game (and still not modded) in the memory menu.
My Xbox shows my USB stick as a memory card and I can take my saves off and upload them to my stock hdd.
5A) Will this work?
**This is all of what I understand about using the MXK software without having the Key itself.**
Xbox-Saves-Manager.
Reading C thru C3 comes directly from the Usage release of XBox-Saves-Manager
(the first paragraph was cut (srry) I did patch it though, and has basically the same info as the readme file.
A) The prog. comes on and is looking for my saves in its directory. It came with one save of its own.
B) I now import my saves to the PC side by looking for where I have stored my saves.
B1)Found and uploaded to prog.
C) The configuration for this, as I have read is, running EvolutionX (ftp) on your PC first, having a network connection from your PC to your Xbox using a ethernet cable, router, hub etc. Go into the connection manager and set the xbox IP address as indicated in EvoX.
C1)Once you've setup that information, hit OK and the Connection Manager window will close. You can now hit the green Connect button on the toolbar and XBSM will connect to your XBox and download the information it needs to create a list of all the saves on it. You will then see whatever saves you have in the XBox pane.
C2)If you want to send a save to your PC, simply select the save or saves you want to send, and hit the arrow in the center of the window that points to the PC pane. It will send the saves to your PC, compress and store them automatically for you. Reverse this process to send saves from your PC to your XBox. There is a description data you can edit for every save on your PC. Double-click a save to edit
this info.
C3)You can also browse to different folders on your PC where you have saves stored to load into XBSM. If you have a memory card, you can plug it into the XBox and have XBSM read the saves stored on the card and list them in the XBox pane. However, in order for XBSM to recognize the memory card, there must be at least one save stored on it. This just scratches the surface, there are a lot more features.
Play around with it and you should be able to figure most of everything out without any difficulty!
?Even though I have all of this information I am a little unsure about using it. How would I be able to get a saved file on my Xbox memory card (I think i know how to do that) and could I still use the method in (3,3A1,3A) instead of using my xbox memory card? Do I need a modded Dashboard?
This is what I know. Can someone verify this and tell me what will work and what won't work.
When I have completed this operation succefully I will edit this thread with answers to my ?'s and have a step by step guide on how to do this.
All credit goes to where and whom it may concern, thank you for creating this information.
