From everything I've read in the past, it's not currently possible to rip XBLive! content from one xbox and place it on another, even when we know what files they are. At least I've not seen anyone posting about making it work.
And OXM is the only known non-XBLive! carrier of XBLive! content.
I'll suggest getting OXM, cause it's a decent mag, and the demos are a nice plus.

If you want the content without Live, get the OXM magazine. Also, there is a Rainbow Six 3 demo disc out that has content for Island Thunder and Splinter Cell.
NUFF SAID

No, there is not a way. Xeero and I tried it, but no luck (and so did others)
12.99 (9.99 US) is a very nice price for a DVD with:
Rainbow Six 3 demo
Splinter Cell demo with THREE Live levels on it
Island Thunder demo with FOUR non-Live levels on it
Ghost Recon demo

Can you share any info you learned when you tried it?
xboxfrizzy probably isn't too far off in assuming it has something to do with the eeeprom. I would also guess that it has something to do with the HD ID too. (Since I believe my downloaded content showed up as corrupted after I installed a larged HD...same eeprom though...)
Plus, wouldn't it be feasible to pull the updater off of one of those OXM discs? It's probably possible to pull one of those apart and see how and where the content is copied over.

No, that is impossible. The content can not be transfered to a memory unit, and worked on another Xbox.

You can not transfer the content. When you do, the files become corrupted.
I will say it again. The ONLY way to get Xbox Live content, is from Live itself or OXM magazine. Content can not be copied to a memory unit, copied via XBSM, etc.
The content is specific to the Xbox system it was downloaded to.

either have them bring their card over to ur house and go on live and download the new stuff or bring ur box to them and hook it up to there broadband and use their card to downlaod the new stuff
that easy!!!!!
and its free (unless you dont have a memcard, i found one in a clearance ile at wal-mart for 4.99)

Correct. You can use someone else's gamertag on your Xbox (with their agreement of course), download the content, and then delete the gamertag. The content will still be there, too.
Post by: Vinpire on December 19, 2003, 10:13:00 AM
heres a question though, do they release a lot of the live content on oxm discs or has it just been the splinter/recon stuff so far?
Vince.

| my guess is the game checks for the installed xbl accounts and if the one it was downloaded is there (along with the right eeprom) it will work. |
No. You can get the content from Live, and then delete the account. The content will still work.
Trust me, it isn't that simple.
But anyways, that idea doesn't make sense. Content can not be copied to a memory unit or to your PC. So.. I do not know what you really mean. As there is no way to get the content onto another XBox from another Xbox without it being corrupted.

Understand this.
MS and their brains > You
That is why backups will never work on Live for example. If anyone figures it out, MS will fix the problem. Same with getting "free" content.
If you say that, and you said this twice, nothing is impossible... then fly to Jupiter in 1/2 second, give birth to a baby on Jupiter by yourself, raise the baby on Pluto, and then fly back to Earth in less than 1/2 second, and start a new alien population.
Remember, you said nothing is impossible!

Didn't M$ say that it was going to be IMPOSSIBLE to hack the Xbox?
Probably somewhere in the future (if humanity doesn't wipe itself out first), it will be possible to transport to Jupiter in .5 seconds, either through matter-energy conversion, a wormhole effect, or acceleration past 10x the speed of light. (although, I don't know why you'd want to go there because there is nowhere to stand.) Then through the mircales of genetics you could, conceive a baby by yourself, and then go to Pluto (which I think is still in discussion on whether or not it's really a planet) and raise that alien baby.
It's just not possible RIGHT NOW. (and probably not in our lifetimes either...)
Post by: Th3_H0unD on December 20, 2003, 07:17:00 AM
Ya M$ said "It will be impossible to hack the XBOX" And umm look were it is at now.
Another thing look at all the people that don't pay for windows cause they are
too dam cheap and they get the windows updates for free. If M$ can protect downloadable
content then why haven't they protected that yet hmmm. So I have to say it again
It is possible. Just nobody has figured it out yet is all and well i'd like to be apart
of it. So let's start talking about location of the files after it's installed on the xbox.

1) Download Kola Cell with EEPROM 1.
2) Flashed Xbox with EEPROM 2.
3) Content disappeared in the game.
4) Flashed Xbox back with EEPROM 1.
5) Content re-appeared in the game.
Post by: 82ross on December 20, 2003, 12:33:00 PM
Anyone experienced with cracking here? Just convert the xbe to an exe using cbx and try and find all the protection routines, work out what patches need to be made and make the equivalent to the xbe.

Installed it on my xbox.... ftp'd in to my xbox found the files and sent to my roommates xbox and played the game and those 2 extra levels were there on his and they work.

Well that's interesting. I wonder if content off the OXM disc is different than downloaded content.
I have downloaded content on one of my xboxs, and i tried using XBSM to copy it over to my other xbox and I also tried using FlashFXP to copy the folder over from Tdata. Both times I received the 'corrupted data' error when trying to load it. (and this is also content from GRIT)
Unless I missed some of the data... I think there was just one folder out of TDATA for GRIT. What files did you bring over?

Within that folder i have a file XboxOptions.dat
and a folder $C within that folder is 2 more 5553000700000001 and 5553000700000002
The files in the first one are as follows
contentimage.xbx
ContentMeta.xbx
d02_refinery.rsb
d02_refinery_sky.pob
directory.txt
dl_xd02_brfg-box.rsb
dl_xd02_shots.rsb
dyn_grass_a_xd06.qob
dyn_grass_b_xd06.qob
strings_1_en.res
strings_1_fr.res
strings_1_gr.res
xd02_refinery.env
xd02_refinery.glb
xd02_refinery_dcm.mis
xd02_refinery_dcm_chars.glb
The second folder is
contentimage.xbx
ContentMeta.xbx
directory.txt
dl_xd01_brfg-box.rsb
dl_xd01_shots.rsb
strings_0_en.res
strings_0_fr.res
strings_0_gr.res
xd01_beach_dcm.mis
xd01_beach_dcm_chars.glb
I'm hoping that is the same for you. Was yours from the OXM disc as well or XBLive! ?
Post by: The Juggler on December 20, 2003, 07:43:00 PM
I didn't look at all the file particulars, but I just took that whole folder and transferred it from one xbox to the next.
Mine was Downloaded from Live. It is the Oil Refinery Level.
The folders inside $C must contain the level info. I haven't checked, but I probably only have 1 folder inside $C.
And the xboxs you are using have different eeproms?
What did you use to transfer the data?
Post by: Xbox-Savage on December 20, 2003, 08:58:00 PM
so far i know this :$c is content folder (maps , weapons, mechs)
$u is Download menu (were you choose the content to download)
Post by: Th3_H0unD on December 21, 2003, 03:09:00 AM
I used Flash FXP to transfer the folder from my xbox to my pc
then from my pc to rommmates XBOX
Post by: The Juggler on December 21, 2003, 05:58:00 AM
When I get some time this week (still gotta finish holiday shopping and all...) I'll see if I can get both version of the content and then compare them.
The other thing I plan on doing is making a backup of my HD and then downloading the content and then comparing to see what files are new and what has changed. I'll also grab the files from my other xbox and compare them to the new ones I downloaded to see if they vary.
And yes, I understand that getting the OXM discs is probably the easiest way to get downloadable content, but that's not really the point.
Post by: Th3_H0unD on December 21, 2003, 06:28:00 AM

Well there is a possability with the OXM content maybe, but about content directly from Live, that can not be copied between Xboxes.

Content from Live is not free. If you are trying to figure out how to hack it to make it work on other Xboxes, Xboxes without a paying Live account, that is illegal.
