It has been along time since I have done anything with 1st xbox, but is the flash drive formated in FATX ? If it isn't try formating it with the xbox( you have to have a usb port mod installed or a usb to xbox adapter). If it doesn't show up on the xbox, then it won't work then.

Ok, I have trawled through numerous sites trying to work this out. I seem to have cracked it, took me a few go's but I got the kinks worked out and I can confirm this is working!


What you need:

* USBView
* Action Replay Software
* The Exploit Gamesaves (SC, 007, Mech)

I have placed all of the needed software and pre-patched gamesaves (they are especially for Action Replay) inside a single downloadable package.

You can get that HERE

* USB Thumbdrive

Please make sure that your USB device is compatible until we find a better compatibility solution.
You can find that list HERE

I have also added our own compatibility list at the bottom of this tutorial that will be updated accordingly.

Please post back your results and the brand and size of your USB stick.

**NOTE**

A 'Confirmed NOT working' is only 'Confirmed' after another USB has been proven to work on your system. A simple "It doesn't work" will not suffice!





* A USB to Xbox connector. You can buy these on eBay and other places around the net, but they are REALLY easy to make.

Here's the link to make one yourself...

Xbox USB

You can of course get creative, I have converted a cheap USB hub into an Xbox 4-port hub...


The Process:

Ok, with that all out of the way, lets make this happen!

Firstly, make sure there is nothing on the USB that you need as we are about to format it!

Turn on your Xbox and navigate to the 'Memory' screen. Insert your USB cable and connect the USB drive to it.

If all went well, an error should have popped up saying " The memory card wasn't working properly and has now been erased".

This is NORMAL!!! The USB drive has now been formatted to the Xbox format.


Ok, plug the newly formatted USB into your PC. Don't let Windows format it.

Install 'Action Replay'. Install the update to v1.40. Do NOT open the program!

Open 'USBView' and then press 'F5' on your keyboard to ensure the list is refreshed.

Find the new 'USB Mass Storage Device', click on it so it displays it's properties on the right.

We are looking for the 'idVendor' and 'idProduct' numbers. Write down the last four digits of each and make a note as to which are 'YYYY's and which are 'ZZZZ's.




Close 'USBView' now and navigate to 'C:\Program Files\Datel\Action Replay XBOX\Drivers', edit the file 'xbreader.inf'

Scroll down to 'Devices' and change the 'VID' and 'PID' numbers to correspond with your YYYY + ZZZZ numbers.







Save the file again and close down the folders.

Open your 'Device Manager' and expand the 'Universal Serial Bus controllers' tree, right click on the 'USB Mass Storage Device' and click on Update driver'.




Install the drivers manually and when shown, pick from the list




Install the 'MaxDrive Xbox' driver.




Ok... I have already modified the gamesaves for use with the USB Action Replay software, so you can go ahead and open the Action Replay software.

The left pane should now say 'Memcard' in white.

Drag the 'SID 4 launcher' into the 'Memcard' from your desktop. It will take a moment to copy (an orange bar will show progress).

Also drag across the loader of choice.




That's it!

Plug the USB along with your new cable into your Xbox and treat it like a normal memory card!

Here's the Softmod guide to keep you going in the right direction!

****NOTE****

To re-use your USB as an actual storage device, uninstall the USBIO driver from your Device Manager and format it. It is also advised that you do NOT use an MP3 player (iPod, etc) for this. It has been known to almost brick.
