QUOTE(M3Roc @ Jun 7 2012, 01:25 AM) 
Im just curious. I need extra usb ports. Since these memory cards use a similar interface as usb, can I solder a usb pigtail onto the board and source 5v from else where? Will these mem ports recognize regular USB devices? Basically my question is, can these mem card ports be converted into usb ports.
I'd like to know this too
Post by: crb0621 on November 23, 2005, 08:12:00 PM
What I want to know is: has anyone made any progress on using a regular USB flash drive as a memory unit? Is the difference between it and a memory unit in the hardware or is it formatted specially? I realize nobody has probably done this yet, but hopefully this can spark some interest. Thanks.

My main problem is that none of the stores have harddrives.
I dont wan't to buy a mem card roughly half the price of the hard drive

USB devices have certain identifiers such as serial number, product name, and manufacturer that are known to the kernel but not prominently displayed to the user. On linux with udev, you can get insane amounts of info on the device. The problem is causing an existing mass storage device to report what we want.
I'm interested to see the output of the following command:
CODE
udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/

Hopefully, the only thing keeping the 360 from recognizing a memory stick as a Memory Unit is the port you plug it into, and all you need is an adaptor. But this is doubtful.
Can anyone confirm that there's +5V going from pin 1 to 5? I can't find my tools at the moment.
...hmm. I wonder if MS did anything to prevent reading a memory unit on a computer? Other than encryption or a funky filesystem, I mean.

Forgot about those things right on the front of the case that say Memory Unit on them. My bad

Pin 1 = 0
Pin 2 = 0
Pin 3 = 0
Pin 4 = 3.27 volts
Pin 5 = 0
So there we have it... might be able to somehow figure out how to run a card reader off of it if we can figure out the data pin configuration, but I'm not sure if a normal USB memstick will run off of only 3.3v.
Anyone know?
EDIT:
Ok, after another quick test, I've discovered the outer pins are both grounds.
So theoretically the layout is probabley
Pin 1 = Ground
Pin 2 = Data
Pin 3 = Data
Pin 4 = Power
Pin 5 = Ground
The extra yellow wire from the original xbox controller isn't needed because we're only powering a memcard, not an entire controller????
Anyone know how to decipher which data pin goes to plus or minus? Trial and error I guess (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If its layed out like a normal port then it should be that pin 3 is - and pin 2 is +
Might try wiring some stuff up to the port and see what happens when I plug in a memstick (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
oh and heres the link to another thread I started before this one evolved to memcard slots

So may not have enough power to run a memstick if this is the case... may try it later with my xD to usb converter as well... if anyone has an OPEN console, you might try soldering directly to the board instead... maybe MS deliberately lowered the power for the port so that USB devices aren't compliant. If we could bypass this limit, maybe we could get it to recognize... i might try pulling 5v from the front USB ports later, but right now I've got homework to do
Good luck all
EDIT: Ok, only took about 5 seconds... tried it with power off of USB ports and still nothing... got the memstick to power up though (LED blinked)... so it might be that I'm not getting a good connection with the data pins, but I'm really not willing to crack the case on my box to figure it out

you must have the xbox memory card wired wrong.
i opened mine up and soldered a usb cable to it. i can post a pic of that later also for proof. this is what my computer showed when i hooked it up. two separate devices. the memory unit first and the security device second.

I messed up my first memory card so i had to go buy another one. I am glad i messed up the first one becasue i was able to make a adpater to let me have the memory card slot pins outside the case. See pic below.
Here is a pic of it with a femlae usb port attached to it. (the xbox will do its little circle thing like it is trying to find a drive but it will not find a hardrive attached to it or a thumbdrive)
I then went out and bought a new memory card and wired it the same way but this one still has the chip inside of the shell. Here is the pic of it.
I then used the pin layout descibed by Rustmonkey here I also downloaded the driver from Silentwatcher's post here.
I hooked up the memory card to my computer like this
and it found a xbox sercurity thing and a gerneric memory card. Here is the pic of the xbox sercurity thing. 
. If you look further up under my drives you will see the memory card. I forced it to used the driver. I really dont know how, i installed the driver and played with it for a while. If anybody needs a indept detail guide, i will hook it up to another computer and try to amke a guide with screen shots.After i got it hooked up i was aked to format the drive.
I did and i was able to put files on it. BUT the second i put it back in the xbox and then put it back in my computer it asked me to reformat it. I alos put a profile on the memory card and then stuck it in my computer. Formated the card and when i put the card back in the xbox the profile was still there. That was strange to me. I think the profiles are stored on a different chip because i have 61.1 mbs free after i format the card. I hope this is a start to anybody that knows more about the sercurity ship on the card.
I have a jump drive that has a 256 mb smasung chip on it. I might try to replace the chip on the xbox memory card and see if i get ore memory on the card. I know this gets us nowhere but it is a start.
I might install linux and see of the format of the card is the same as the hardrive and the contents can only be read with a program that sees the format. I will need to study up more on the harddive project. I will have 10 hours of brdem at work tommrow to do it to. then i can come home and work on this some more.
Here is a pic of the memory cards device page.
Here is a pic of the memory card hooked up to the computer and the xbox at the same time ( the xbox could see the card, but the computer could not)
Im tired so im off to bed. I hope this helps and i hope we can go somewhere with this and if not. I have one mutated memory card.
EDIT: If anybody was wondering, I used terminal strips so i could change the pins to a different usb wire if i had to.

I have it connected to my satalite internet. So it's not that good for playing games, all i use it for is to see if my friends are online and downlaod demos. I'll dissconect it when i get home.
If somebody can point me to any guides with how to get the linux stuff working i would be grateful. Imagine it or not i am lazy.
I also need to know what version of linux i need. I haven't used linux in years. I know shame on me but all the stuff i did for school was in windows so i used it so much and got less and less free time to mess with linux, so i just took it off.

Hey, go get Hex Workshop, and then installit. Fire HW up and then goto Open->Open Drive. Then do a sectordump and upload it to eg. Xbins or somewhere, then give us a link and we'll check it together

You can get the dump here
Post by: Rustmonkey on January 01, 2006, 08:21:00 PM
A few suggestions... if you are able to read the file structure with the Linux tools, try uploading an original XBOX gamesave to the memcard... hell try it in windows after formatting and see what happens (probabley might need to be in a UDATA folder first... or maybe just in the numbered gamesave folder). And probabley try a gamesave that is exploitable for shits and giggles. Did you actually try putting data on the card after the successful format? Like maybe a music track or something the 360 would recognize? Or even just data that your PC would recognize?
thanks and good luck!
I might just have to go out and pick up a memcard now and fiddle with this...

Stick it back in the xbox, have it format it, then try to get a dump.
HexWorkshop isn't going to be able to do the dump because windows doesn't support the FATX filesystem.
If you boot up any live distro of linux you should be able to just run "dd if=sda of=thumbdrive.bin" and get a 1:1 dump.

Is that option still present without a music file on the card? If it is not, then obviously the 360 can see the data uploaded from a computer... which means you might be able to experiment with Xbox 1 gamesaves placed in different folders...
The option is not avialible at all. With or wiithout the music file on it.
After i format the card and put it back in the xbox it now says format, i have to format it in the xbox before i can use it again in the xbox. I dont remember that being there last night when i did the experiment the first time.
Edit: im downloading linux right now, so i hope to have the raw dump up in the hour.

i then tried

Ah, you dumped the flash drive after you formated it in windows so that's just a dump of a regular FAT32 usb thumb drive.
Stick it back in the xbox, have it format it, then try to get a dump.
HexWorkshop isn't going to be able to do the dump because windows doesn't support the FATX filesystem.
If you boot up any live distro of linux you should be able to just run "dd if=sda of=thumbdrive.bin" and get a 1:1 dump.
Hex Workshop CAN make a dump of a drive without supported filesystem, as long as it gets recognized by windows as a drive. I've done it with a corrupt memory card.

Good thing, makes downloadin a lot faster I know i was thinking of where i was going to host it, then i compressed it and it went down it 700kb. It made things alot eaiser. I made a dump wih hex workshop after i re formated it in the xbox. and before i formated it in the pc. It was different from the other dump.

I would suggest wiping it clean (restoring a zero'd image dump if that won't kill it) and formatting it in the 360, then attaching it to the pc and taking another grab. Then I'd add a save to it and then another grab for comparison purposes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

All memory units should have to Fatx Partitions. One at 0x00 offset and another at 0x7ff000. It seems ur first image had the first partition corrupted. If u could, dump some more images with other files. Interested in tearing them apart.

If we need any different dumps made, just ask and i will try to get them up as quick as i can.The first one has the game Wik: fable of souls, a gamer profile named TEST (no saves), The Cod2 US GI 2 gamer picture, the PDZ theme, and the EA Sports fight night round trailer.
Here is a link. Link to Memory Card Dump 3
The second one has a gamer profile named Player 1. But this one has a games save from WiK: Fable of souls and Cod2. What is weird is that it is almost the same size of the first one.
LINK TO COME
I did reformat the card using the 360 each time beofore i put the stuff on the card.

It's quite hard to distinguish between a folder and a file unless you look at the [SZ:] (size) field.
Going through and seeing what we have here.
Request for next dump... XBOX 1 gamesave from 360.

As you can see, not all titles are SWF players like hexic. Must of been their choice development environment.
It seems that anything actually downloaded from the live servers is a 'form' of PIRS file format. It fits every aspect of the format except it's Magic is 'LIVE' instead of 'PIRS'. Current set of PIRSTools works just fine with them for those of you wondering.
The FightNight Round 3 trailer appears to be located at this location:

Thanks for this! Don't have a 360 here to play the game yet, trailer will hold me over!
The Perfect Dark Zero Theme is located here:

Note to Pedro: PIRSTools works just fine on this theme file! Extracted just fine. Got me some new wallpaper for my pc!
Johnny: Was this a fully purchased arcade game or demo version?

would be your gamerprofile. Bit of a strange format. Contains a few .pngs and some data. Much like the one from your earlier dump.
Link to HDWMV Fight Night Round 3 Trailer extracted from your dump. For those like me that haven't gotten a chance to see it's beauty!

CAN ANYBODY HELP ME PLEASE WITH THE LINUX PART.
We can aim back and forth tonight once i get off of work at 6.
I am thinking of making adapter for the memory card to usb. One that you can jsut plug teh memory card into without modding the card. I might try to make one from scratch but i really want to use a port from a broken 360. I won't be able to get one of those untill the 90 day warrentys run out for those people that forgot to get the extended one and they can't fix the 360 and get fed up and sell it.

I will take as much help as i can get, i haven't used linux for years. Even then i didn't do much with it. I was to young and liked windows better (i know thats the price for lack of better knowledge). Angerwound is going to help me tonight. I would like to know what version and distro of linux and a link to it i need to download. So i can get that started on my home PC at the house when i run home on break.

Each profile is given it's own 'ProfileID' which it uses to store its gamesaves and uniquely save them.
For example here is the layout of a gamesave with just Call of Duty 2.
CODE
/Content
/E0000ECA5A5364A4 <- Profile-ID
/FFFE07D1 <- Dash Version/TitleID
/00010000
/E0000ECA5A5364A4 <- Profile Data File
/415607D1 <- Call of Duty 2 TitleID
/00000001
/savegame.svg <- Call of Duty 2 Save
Each profile will contain the Profile Data File as well as a folder for each game's titleid and the contained saves.
Each savefile will contain the 'ProfileID' at offset 0x371 in the file. Thus, giving it some unique data and is then signed with the 2048 bit key. That way, this gamesave can be used ONLY with the profile data of the same ProfileID. Profile Data File's are signed as well, leave out any room for adjustments.
Arcade Content, Movies, Music, and Themes are a bit different. They are transferrable between profiles and between consoles.
Structure Example:
CODE
/Content
/0000000000000000 <- Blank instead of a 'ProfileID'
/584107D1 <- TitleID of Hexic
/000D0000
/584107D100000001 <- Hexic Package
/FFFE07D1 <- Dash Version/TitleID
/00020000 <- GamerPicture Collection
/FFFE07D11000.GamerPicture <- PIRS Archive Containing 64x64 PNG
/FFFE07D11001.GamerPicture
/00030000 <- Theme Collection
/easportstheme <- PIRS Archive of Theme - Wallpapers+Guide Image
/guntheme
/halo2theme
Based on my findings. The content appears not to be signed unique to each console. Moving from one console to another shouldn't be a problem as long as you place it in the correct directories.

Why do you think i have 2 memory cards now. I brokena nd one working. I souldered my wires directly to the little connector.
I would post pics, but i epoxyed the card shut. I dont know how hard it would be to get it open again.
Post by: lukecalypso on January 09, 2006, 04:53:00 AM
i have mounted a 360 memory card in a reproducible way..link
First, put a 3.3 voltage regulator between pin 1 and 2 of the memory connector ( 1 is gnd, 2 is 3.3 +)
Connect pins 3 & 4 to + data and - data of usb bus, and solder them to a usb male connector.
Connet to a Xp machine, it 'will find 2 other devices (esclamation mark devices), select memory unit and force to use generic usb Mass device form complete hardware list.
Now memory is mounted but u can't browse 'cause xp doesn't recnognize fatx partitions, two choiches:
1) install linux on vmware partition
2) read bulk data with Paragon partition manager v 7 and then read bin with linux dd command
I have my bin (16 mb compressed file), if u like i can download it everywhere, Paragon partition manager can also resize the partion but i didn't try this feature.

Yes, the xbox grabs the .xcp package from its content provider and places it on its cache partition.
It then has to decided whether or not you should have the full game or not. It checks it's purchase logs for your gamertag.
If you have purchased the game it unpacks the PIRS from th .xcp, edits a few bytes in the header and resigns the entire PIRS file.
If you haven't purchased it. I'd imagine it simply unpacks the PIRS and places it where it needs to be, thus not enabling the full version.

It seems that if you place a gamesave from an entirely different profile/console on a memcard and copy it to your main profile/hdd it will pop a message on the screen stating, "By copying or moving these items you will become the new owner. You will not be able to earn achievements for gameplay using these items."
So yes, gamesaves are signed to your profile. But it seems if one exists that is signed to another profile, the game will play and accept it. It just will not allow you to unlock achievements based on that profile (since it's not signed to your main profile).

Thanks. I will try this once i get home from school and work. I was running a slax live cd. I am making a dedicated linux machine tonight. I have the newest distro of Dibian downloading and i also have a pci sata card coming so i can also dump and explore the hardrive. I tried doing it last night, but i messed up my drive(somehow i corrupted my 360 profile on my hardrive. I had to reformat it and redownload all my settings. I saved my cod2 and gun saves but it wouldnt let me copy my Pdz saves.)
I also messed up my NTFS drive that was connected to the computer i was trying to dump to. I read on the slax websit that linux dosen't like NTFS.
I will have a in depth guide with pictures up tonight or tommorow on how o mod your memory card and then connect ti to your pc.

Thats awesome. I didn't even think about trying that. I now see why they ask for what profile you want to use to to see the gamesaves.

well so xcp is just for avoid ppl from uncompressing the data, what a waste of time and effort i suposse if the console would work with xcp it would be quite slow, well im still searhing for a memory card for do my tests but maybe u already done urs so i will try to ask u ... if u copy ur gamerprofile to the mc dump it, hex edit it and look for your current image, and u replace it with other with the same size or smallest, can u write the mc dump back to the mc and use it ? or does the console have some check for the integrity of the data ?

I still believe that a voltage/current limiting resistor would be best for the datalines, 5v on a 3.3v device is trouble in my opinion, the problem there is ofcource the data that is sent back to the computer.
Will try to find a resistor value that works as soon as i have some time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
What kind of linux should i install for FATX support? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I found no probelm with 5 volts on 3.3 so far, but it might be a monster in the closet for later.
I will add a guide to get fatx working to once i get that figured out.
If you get the resistor value working i will add it to a guide i am going to post tonight.

I'll try to check for some shit to make connectors for the MU's. A SD card would be perfect for a connector, as it'd fit inside the MU perfectly with some cutting (but sacrificing the SD card unfortunately).
Off to do some research tomorrow, but now I'll go to sleep, 2,5 hours of sleep last night

I use Slackware 10.2 it doesn't seem to have any probs mounting my ntfs partitions. I also have ext3/ext2 software on my win xp machine to read the linux partitions in windows. Speeds up things a lot.
Also I saw you are having problems copying your PDZ save to your memory card? I had that same issue aswell there's a article on ms kb about that there answer is just try again
Finally I was tempted to modify a knoppix/slackware live cd and add fatx support might do it sometime if I get a chance, do you think it would be usefull?

That ext3/ext2 software looks interresting i might have to google it.
Yes i think that would be usefull, that way people could just pop a disk into the drive and access their xbox hardrive when they connect it to the pc.
I just reformatted my hardrive and lost the PDz save. I will beat it again. Wasen't to hard to do it. I need to get better at the game anyway.
I am making a tutorial. I have all the pictures taken and the whole tutorial written out (Wrote it at school). I just have to type it up. So look for it late tonight or early tommorow. It will be a guide for making the memory card to usb cable and a guide of how to get it working in windows.
That is a good idea. Make it where a Sd card sticks out of the back of the memory unit and you could just plug it into a sd card reader. I would try it but i have already put down $120 on memory cards.
The best way would be no mods to the card itself but a adapter made out of the connector inside teh xbox 360. we will have to wait till there are alot of broken 360s on the market for sell i think to get alot of them

You will need to wire 2 10 ohm resisters togather. You should use 1/2 watt resissters. 1/4th was marginal.
I will add this section to my guide.

I just wont have the time for a while.
Family goes first ofcourse, no prob
Yesterday i finally got a few minutes and got my memory card to work under windows 2000, I'll take a look at the driver problem as it looks that the m-systems driver isn't the correct one.
After that ill take a look at the winXP driver.
Did someone notice that the space reported for the memory unit is only 62 MB ?, maby the other 2 MB is used for security?!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
I took 33 Ohms for the two resistors (both datalines) , due to the small current it doesn't have to be 20 or 33 Ohms exactly as long as a resistor is placed, but these value's are tested and so preferred, any higher resistor could give read errors or unable to connect.
For the regulator i took a LM 1084 3.3(Take note of the 3.3 notation, otherwise you will have a variable version) , this is a standard fixed 3.3v voltage regulator, as long as it is atleast 500ma it sould work(i'm using a 5A version because i had one lying around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/muhaha.gif) )
Can anyone tell me an easy linux version to install on my pc that will work with FATX? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Is there someone that can host a guide?

Post by: maximilian0017 on January 11, 2006, 01:53:00 PM
(the quick and dirty way and on your own risk!!!!!)
Tools
1. Wire cutters (small)
2. Multimeter
3. Small soldering Iron
4. Small Dril (Dremel)
Materials
1. Usb cable (not to thick)
2. Voltage regulator LM 1084 3.3 (fixed 3.3Volts!!!!!!!)
3. 2X resistor 33 Ohms (1/8 watt or bigger)(almost every 33 Ohms resistor will do)
4. Shrink tube
5. Very small box
If you have evenything needed you will be up and running within 15 minutes
Lest build it!!
1. Take the usb cable and remove the unwanted side so that you end up with an Male A connector and a piece of wire (leave it up to you how long you want to make the cable)
2. Cut the cable in half again and strip the three ends, put a little solder on the twelve wires so they will solder a lot easyer while working with delicate electronics
3. Find out the pinout of the cable using the multimeter and this site(USB)
The fun about this is that certain manufacturers change the colors of the cables so this is very important!!!!, write it down on a piece of paper and recheck!!
4. Take the two pieces of cable and solder the two wires for Data+ using one of the resistors, and then the same for Data-(dont forget the shrink tube)
5. The legs of the voltage regulator are very long, leave about 5 milimeters per pin and cut the rest off.
6. Solder both ground wires to the ground terminal on the voltage regulator (dont forget the shrink tube)
(Picture )
7. Solder the 5vdc wire (the one with the USB connector) to the input pin of the voltage regulator(dont forget the shrink tube)
8. Solder the last wire (our new 3.3Volt Wire) to the output pin of the voltage regulator(dont forget the shrink tube)
9. Mount the voltage regulator in the little box with some kind of cable restriction.
10. While making sure you dont cause any short circuit, connect the cable to your usb connector on your pc and mesure the voltage on the ground and the new 3.3v wire, this should read about 3.3volts(otherwise take it apart and start again)
10. Open up the memory unit without any sharp tools , make sure not to put any stress on the grey connector as it breaks of quite easy. (goes easyer if you first remove the little metal plate)
11. Make a hole in the plastic cover to guide your wires through, after that solder the wires the following way to the connector pins on the inside(ofcourse leaving the little board intact and connected)
From top to bottom with the xbox360 standing up
Connector - Wire
Pin 1 - Ground
Pin 2 - Data+
Pin 3 - Data-
Pin 4 - 3.3Volt
12. Close up the memory unit and test, Windows should recognise two new devices it doesn't have drivers for, maby i'll write another little guide for that soon.
Done!!!
Thanks goes out to all the people who helped gathering with the info
Crb0621 for starting the topic
Rustmonkey for the mesurements
Lukecalypso, Willpower101, JoHnnyTK36, etc etc for testing
Feel free to add pictures etc and repost as long as the guide keeps readable and correct

I'm working on a driver to easely install the memorycard on win2000, it will mount the drive as a volume when i'm done(with remove usb device support), maby someone else can make support for FATX under Win2K
When this works i'll build a driver for XP.
The driver reported earlyer doesn't seem to be connected to the memory unit, it looks like their driver just has the same id's as the memcard

You can dump the partitions in linux with these commands.
To dump the 8Mb system partition which seems to contain Cache data and the name.txt (Memory Unit friendly name)
dd if=./sectordump4.bin of=SystemPart.dd count=8384512 bs=1
To dump the main partition
dd if=./sectordump4.bin of=MainPart.dd skip=8384512 bs=1
Then to mount them if you have FATX support
mount SystemPart.dd /mnt/xbox -t fatx -o loop
Hope that helps
Post by: maximilian0017 on January 12, 2006, 01:44:00 PM
1. Connect the memory unit to one device at a time, Xbox or PC, even if you turn one of them off it would probably damage both of them!!!!!!
2. The cable length i used is 1 meter, 30 cm between the memory unit and the voltage regulator and 70cm between the voltage regulator and the usb connector, but the shorter the better
3. Even with the long cable attached the memory unit works in the Xbox

JoHnnyTK36: have some things i want to talk to you about, i'll send you a message asap
Rymez: how big are these two partitions exactly in bytes?, If i make a dump its size is 65.077.248(62.0625MB) bytes, it should be 67108864 bytes(64MB), so where are the remaining 2031616 bytes???, please confirm
lukecalypso: Sometimes i have to use linux on my work(firewall), but i'm not at all an expert in the field
I' m still hoping that the other people here that know Linux make a version can be easely installed without recompiling kernels etc for FatX support(live cd would be nice but i need linux for more than FatX support, so please an installable version if possible)
After i get the drivers to install automatically under windows i'll take a look at Linux
Post by: Angerwound on January 12, 2006, 04:12:00 PM
CODE
u_int64_t partitionAddresses__MemCard[] = { 0x0UL, 0x7ff000UL };
u_int64_t partitionSizes__MemCard[] = { 0x7ff000UL, (0x3E20000UL-0x7ff000UL) };
u_int64_t partitionSizes__MemCard[] = { 0x7ff000UL, (0x3E20000UL-0x7ff000UL) };
These are your partition offsets and sizes on the memory unit.
The system partition, (8mbs) simply has a cache folder that is always empty and a 'name.txt'.
This txt file also exists on the second partition where the saves are actually stored.
See below image for structure.

Finally got the driver files to detect everything under 2000 and XP MCE, now i only need some testers
These drivers will mount the different devices so that you can access the memory device, it will still be a raw device, but no manual forcing of drivers is neccesary
It should also work on bigger memory units

After modifying the INF file and stripping the unneeded stuff that would accept the new memory unit.
Then i modyfied the INF file for volume management and stripped it
The most difficult one was to make an inf file for the other device i called security device, that one needed a dummy driver so that it would show up under USB devices
Hopefully this will make it a little bit easyer
What's next?

The MUs run on 3,3v was it? So you'd need to get 5v from some other place, like a USB connector on the 360.
I'd try it without 5v first, wouldn't be amazed if it would work because of the kind of electronics used, and it's less dangerous
But why would you use a memorystick if you already have a x360 memoryunt (besides from it being very small)

i have already tried that. it did not work, atleast with the flashdrive i have. I tried it using the supplied 3.3 volts and 5volts.
It's probably due to the other 3 virtual usb devices(yes 3 others) located on the Memory Unit, or even a checksum/code of sorts(see the bigger harddisk topic), did the xbox "look" for someting?(lock for a short amount of time after you connected the memory stick?)
Kezor:
(No offense ofcourse)
It takes about the same time to make as both the other guides, but they dont have wires that can come loose.
Test/bread-boards have the tendancy to blow up in your face, they are meant to test idea's/proof of concept, a wire that comes loose a little bit/connected wrong and byebye Xbox, you have to check everything before you connect it again.
If you want to try it 1 time it's a good idea, but as you already need to strip and solder once you can solder the rest too and have a permanent sollution.
Why did you use 2x30 ohms for the Vusb?, Johnny already stated that 20ohms total would be enough.
Both of the datalines use 5v, they should have 33 Ohms or so resistors too(see post 123)
You can loose the ground wire, not needed(i have a 1 meter usb cord permanently attached, no extra connectors/wires needed, can copy images from the xbox, unplug, go to pc and plug the usb plug in)

Just for the fun of it ^^
Nah, maybe this could lead us somewhere inside the xbox, making custom gamer pics (except MS would ban us all
) etc.But for the Xbox to recgonize our memory sticks we'd need to somehow emulate those other USB devices, like that "Xbox Security Method" etc. Maybe we could wire the MU and the usb storage device to a switch, then connect the MU to the Xbox, let it authenticate it and the flip the switch so the 360 sees the USB storage device instead. Good thing that MS uses standards ^^

firstly i'd suggest going maximillian's route, but if you cant source an LM1084, you can use an LM317 with R1=240ohms, R2=390ohms. i did this and it works fine in both the xbox and pc without having to remove any cables.
secondly ive updated maximillians drivers to give winxp x64 support, you can get them here:

Would it be possible to isolate the security device on a MU and make a pass through device for a normal USB Flash? I was wondering the same thing about the security device on controllers, but that's kinda unrelated.
On free60 there are people believing that the chip on the MU is a programnable chip from Philips, maby someone with an USB analizer and knowledge of small programmable microcontrollers could do something.
If you want more storage the easyer way would be to place a secondary 64mb chip on the backside of the MU, making it a 128MB device.
This way you could also see if there are safeguards like on the the hd.
Loser:
U R right, the voltage regulator is the best option but not all people have an understanding of electronics, the 317 is a very nice alternative(easy to get), but there are two other resistors to connect making it more difficult for the non electronics guys, if we were to be completely correct we would also need a capacitor.
Far out the easyest would be leaving out the voltage regulator and replacing it with a resistor of 18-22 Ohms and putting two resistors of 33 Ohms in the two datalines, this way the mod would be alot easyer and faster.
(been discussing this with JohnnyTK36 for a while)
And great work on the x64 drivers, together we stand strong!!
I tried all of the tools used for the old XB and they dont work(even after a little modding) if those people would help they could release the sourcecode or modiy it for the MU we would be in business(if it werent for those strange packages used
)

LMFAO!! You spotted the Crystal! It's not a security chip.... It's part of the clock generator.
EDIT: A couple of interesting points for discussion...
1) That top left chip on the 360 photo is apparently (I can't tell 100% from your photo) an EEPROM. That would be interesting to read...
2) The memory chip itself, has anyone thought about stacking, or somehow adding a sub PCB for extra RAM.
EDIT: Actually, it might not be the clock crystal, but the crystal for the 2.4Ghz wireless signal, but it's nothing to do with security and it is a crystal!

I have a quick question if someone would be kind enough to help. If I was to FTP my Fable gamesave from my Modded Xbox to my PC could I then transfer that save to my modded 360 Memory Card using Xplorer360 and play Fable using that transfered save on my 360 Memory Card?
Yes, In fact im pretty sure that you wouldnt even need the program to do that, just FATX filesystem support. Correct me if i am wrong though, because i am not that sure. Thanks - Nate

the x360 didnt automatically find my profiles etc like it doesnt when you plug in the memcard normally.
i didnt not want to go further into accessing the memcard at this stage as i feared that it may have been reformatted into a normal fat filesystem as would be used by normal flash cards, ipods, etc.
(at this stage i had not backed up my memcard and didnt want to lose all my saves!
)even when backing it up in windows using something like winhex, there is still the problem of not being able to back up that extra 2meg...

No, unless people have figured out how to crack the encryption, if the arcade game was transfered it would only be the trial version, the full version is signed to a specific user.

What I was trying to say is theoretically you are still earning the Achievment. You are going to beat that last part of the mission and should unlock the achievment for beating that mission. You arent just getting the save for that last checkpoint where it says next mission but one where you still have to fight. For example go all the way through D-day and stop before you go up to silo. Then give that game save for offer on website and have people try it out and finish the mission then see if they get rewarded the Achievment.
Well, if you were rewarded the acheivement for doing that, that would be unfair to those who earned the acheivement by beating the entire mission. This would defeat the purpose of the acheivement and gamerscore system, because the playing field would no longer be level. - Nate

Read this thread through and through and decided to mod my memory unit. However, in one of the guides teh creator stated that u have to keep the USB seperate from the 360 when the memory unit is in place. I tried this without that type of setup and had them directly connected. I had no trouble copying/ duplicating files and profiles from winXP to the Xbox 360.
Dont know if i ever got around to telling yall why i have to take the usb end off using my design.
The reason you have to keep the memory unit and the usb end seperate with my design is because using the 6 pin connector, it acts like a 10 gauge wire. That is too much for the memory unit and it will not read it if you leave the usb end connected and but the memory card back in the xbox 360.
Your design works becase you solderd a usb cable directly to the card. You dont have the bigger wires like i did and you dont have the connector in the middle. So yes you can leave the usb on with your design.

i did wonder when you create a custom play list off a usb key, where does it keep the playlist layout? dont think its on the key , must be on the memory card or hardrive.
windows has software tools to make usb ports read-only, so maybe the 360 is the same and is dictated via the 360 O/S
i havent read a lot about the memory card, but why cant a usb key be modified so it can plug in this section of the drive rather than the usb ports since it obviously writes?
i think the security chip someone above has been mentioning defialty involves more investigation.

You can already change the filesystem. Its the sercurity chip that is getting in the way. I have been meaning to see if there is a a way i can take the security chip off the memory card and put it in a flash drive or jsut upgrade the memory in the 360s memory card. I have been very busy with school and this 360sata stuff though. I will let everybody know though if i find the time to figure out anything.
did we find out if you can mod a stock memory card by adding more memory to it? or is the security chip locked to the size of the memory, such as the drive is locked to 20gb.

But I really need to know something:
Okay now we have found the source of data, made drivers and all that.
Once you have gotten hold of the data onto your memory card and loaded it in the game, then what ? if you cant get achievement points this way, why not just play the whole game yourself ?
I got an idea wich seems like noone have talked about in here.o0( Yes I have read the whole topic )
You cant get gamerscore because you are NOT the same gamer profile, but what if the profiles was named the exact same thing ? would it do any differences ? I know this piece is not a part of my whole "WHY-WHY-WHY" post, but whatever, it just crossed my mind.
I see the deal with the "Once-payed-now-free" data that can be transfered arround now, but really, if you cant get gamer points, isnt this just for ppl to get free arcade games, free upgrades and stuff ? in short terms, transferring M$ stuff from one MU to another for the purpose of NOT paying for it ?
I see the "challenge for a hacker" kind of situation here, and noone who do great hacking, says no to that, but why dont you guys come up with a way to configure the games, so that you could make mods of the game on your PC, transfer and use it like Oblivion-armored horses? I know this is much harder to even think of a usefull way, but hey, if some of you allready got the horse thing on a MU; Go for it.
All it needs is a bright mind and time, and some of you in here allready proven to be rightfull owners of the bright minds.
Since I'm no good at modding and stuff like that, I'll just sit back and wait (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pop.gif)

Apparently FatX isn't readable through the USB, so I don't think we'll be able to hack up a standard flash drive like this.
I am curious to using a flash drive, modded to work with the mc port, but according the the breif documention on the memcard, the two signals are Data 1 & Data 2. Whether it's actually just like a USB communication or not, I'm not sure, but as cheap as flash drives are, wouldn't hurt to try.

If that's true than how controller would know when to force feedback in the game. In situation's like gear shifting on automatic gears. There also (I think) must be some information what x360 wants from USB device, the exact mp3 to play.

And the little silver bit with 24.000 inscribed on it, almost identical to a similar piece on the drive. The pics show it.
I don't know if anyone else had already mentioned this in a previous thread, but I thought it would be useful in our quest.
I'm trying to work out how likely that the unit would still work if I replaced the memory chip with one of higher capacity, made by the same manufacturer. My unit's chip is SAMSUNG.

If the PC USB flash drive is such a pain, why not just figure out how to wire a SD adapter? Prices are dropping all the time but a 1 GB SD card has been $10-15 delivered on Newegg for about 9 months. I know (from my Rio mp3 player) that they run 3.3v.
I certainly don't have the expertise or the cash for the poking around you guys are doing (I'm envious). So if I'm just being a dumb SOB newb, feel free to tell me.
I really can't tell from this thread if that would be "too easy," you're not interested, or it would be too hard.
I've read this thread, from the beginning. I searched, closely checking the 2006 & 2007 threads, only this post: Moving Saves Around on SD adapters...
I really would like to have a cheaper storage solution than $30 for 512 GB or $100 for a hard drive with a limited life span.
To be clear, I'm talking about using [removeable] SD card in adapter as a replacement for the MU. I could care less about being able to backup my 360 saves to PC, hacking the 360 OS or whatever.

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Ipod_Nano_200...n_ATA_connector
and conect a ide hard drive to it.
You might be able to get a usb to ide converter as well to use usb drives.
Also with the use the existing security chip idea make sure you remove the memory and try using a usb hub because ther both seperate usb devices or power the usb drive from one of the 360's usb ports. Tell me how it goes because I can't try it my self.

Maybe it's my color vision, but beyond the one chip, I have no clue what solder points he's dealing with --either in the original Nano, or the ATA card.
I have no special skill soldering.
I'd like to think this type of thing would work with the daughterboard from a Rio Forge (dirt cheap & has a SD memory card slot)... but then you'd be hacking 2 really small proprietary devices.
The larger ATA capacity would sure be nice, but I just happen to think 3.3v and plug & play make SD a more natural fit. I guess there could be ZIF drives or even 5v ide44 drives that might work, as well?
If I get the courage to actually fool around with that idea as far as 'this works/doesn't work,' it would have to be a new thread.
I sure wish one or more of the Forum Einsteins were a bit more into this. They've come up with so much though, you can't really complain.

Although using a flash drive my be a stepping stone to proving the theory I think the ultimate reason for doing this would be as an adaptor to add your own HDD.
I'm hoping that someone will mod an existing Memory Unit, leave the Security Chip intact and just solder on a SATA or PATA adaptor in place of the memory chips themselves. Very similar to what the iPOD Nano PATA mod achieved. (Mentioned earlier in this thread.)
The MU to HDD hack seems easier in theory than replacing the 20GB with a larger hdd, which has already proven to be very difficult and not worth doing.
Let's put it this way, whoever figures out how to do this will become famous overnight on the mod scene and no doubt make lots of cash from selling the hacked MU's.
I'm just trying to give the true mod freaks a nudge to put more effort into this
If they could do it to the Nano it can be done here I'm sure. The Datel 4GB PSP device also rings similars bells. It's posible that the security chip stores a capacity value which may prove tricky, but frustratingly, no one has even tried to see if that is the case.

I should add I'm trying to access a 256mb memory card which is slightly different than the original tutorials but I would guess the wiring should be the same?

or at least rip the security data from a memory card, then I can build my own connector make the flash drive connect to the memory card slot of the 360
I already have a hard drive, I just want to get a flash drive to work as a memory card because I don't want to walk around with the hard drive and I don't want to buy the official memory card as for the price, I can get a 8GB flash drive (which I was able to get a pack of 10 for $20 a few months back )

How do I reduce the 5 volts from the USB power down to around 3 volts?
Thanks.
BTW, I tried to use the tutorial here and almost rendered my Memory Card useless where my 360 would not read the card, not sure how I fixed it though

As I said before, what I am doing has nothing to do with this topic.

i just cracked open my box to reseat the heatsinks. yay rrod and i need a hard drive for this unit... i stumbled on this forum because i wanted to see if anyone had any luck getting a thumb drive to substitute as a hard drive or a memory unit so i can avoid buying a drive or a mem unit since i have about 50 thumb drives.
but i noticed that voltage may have been an issue as well and i would assume that the hard drive point is a higher voltage... and it would be a modified sata connection i would assume.
dunno.. good luck either way guys.

Has anyone bought one of these Datel expandable memory cards? http://us.codejunkie...__EF000778.aspx
I might buy one and open it up for a look.

Or better yet, they also made this hard drive, which connects to the xbox 360 via usb port. If somebody could buy one and crack it instead of the card, we would be much closer to our goal. And besides, this hard drive only costs 29.99 unlike the memory card above, which is 49.99
your link was broken, but i assume you are talking about this?

if thats what you meant, that doesn't look like a solution. that looks like its just a 4 gig usb harddrive. in the features, it doesn't say anything about being able to save games to it, it only mentions using it to store music and such.
that drive will function the same as a 4 gig thumb drive.

I made the whole process with my 512mb MU.... but i just soldered a 20 ohm resistor in the Vusb and that was all... i plugged the MU in the pc and it recognized, i installed the drivers and tried to open with xport. It opened but i cant see the files, i can just see 2 partitions with nothing inside (except for some 2 nonsense files)....... and after soldering it didnt recognize in the 360, so i took off all the wires and solder and the xbox started recognizing again.
What did i do wrong?
thanks everyone
and great forum

why just take a 512MB one which just costs you around 20$
just like this one
