THIS WORKS PERFECT FOR GAMESAVES AND BACKING UP ANYTHING FROM THE HDD

TOOLS:

SOLIDERING IRON
SOLIDER
HOT GLUE GUN
RAZOR KNIFE

PARTS NEEDED:

360 MEMORY CARD
2 - 33 OHM RESISTORS
USB CABLE
HEATSHRINK TUBE OR ELECTRICAL TAPE
3.3 VOLT REGULATOR (OPTIONAL)

DRIVERS NEEDED

360 MEMORY CARD IS 3.3V AND USB IS 5V, SO YOU CAN INSTALL A 3.3V REGULATOR IF YOU WANT FOR SECURITY, BUT I HAVE MINE WIRED TO 5V AND ITS FINE.

I WILL ADD TEXT TODAY WHEN I GET MORE TIME!!

is it possible to backup an actual game?

gameroms · « **Reply #2 on:** November 29, 2008, 08:45:39 PM »

yes its possible, but not with this.

i can help with what your wanting, msg me on msn. prefer not to do it here.

this only allows you to backup your profile and saves, or load other peoples saves to boost you gamerscore, buy getting achievements by just loading a save.

sean7341 · « **Reply #3 on:** November 30, 2008, 07:41:11 AM »

Aren't saves tied to your gamertag though?

gameroms · « **Reply #4 on:** November 30, 2008, 09:55:49 AM »

you can use a save from anyone, but you have to get the resigner prog, to resign the save to match your profile.

hmm i dont get it doesnt a memory card already do that? so why attach it to usb?

Nice tut

. I was just wondering how you got your memory card open.

how you gonna connect your memory card to pc, to back up you profile to pc, or use gamesaves you download fron the net?

i used a razor knife, but i dont reccomend the use of anything sharp.

Ghost In Black · « **Reply #8 on:** December 01, 2008, 03:43:03 PM »

OK thanks. I did all that, but now when I connect my memory card to my computer, it doesn't let me install the drivers. (I have Windows Vista.)

MARIOPARTY53 · « **Reply #9 on:** December 01, 2008, 04:45:35 PM »

so it dosnt need a regulator? Ok, well I will try it some time, this is a great idea

buickgnx · « **Reply #10 on:** December 03, 2008, 04:58:53 AM »

nice im going to do that when i get a cheap memory card.

gameroms · « **Reply #11 on:** December 03, 2008, 12:18:21 PM »

im using vista also, and the driver install easily.
when you plug it in it should ask for drivers, if not somethings wrong.

i never thought about it, but its possible that some usb cable manufactors could swap the colors around.

if you have a multi meter use this pic, and test the connections

^^^^^^^^^

Ghost In Black · « **Reply #12 on:** December 03, 2008, 03:31:25 PM »

Ok thanks I'll try it again tonight. It said that the best driver was already installed on my computer, however I hadn't installed any drivers.

I'm pretty sure I have it wired up fine though because it connects to the computer.

mod_alesek · « **Reply #13 on:** December 04, 2008, 07:02:48 AM »

it is my mod

... good idea do you?

gameroms · « **Reply #14 on:** December 04, 2008, 03:19:43 PM »

looks good, i got another one im building, with mini usb, like yhe motorola phones.

Can some one send me the driver and wiring diagram to me in e-mail please? The DL from rapidshare not working and some pics are missing.

ok i hope i got this right from what iv been reading. as the xbox memory card is inserted to xbox 1 and the usb part into xbox 2 and a game is saved also saved to xbox 2 as shown in pic so that u can boost achievements or is there sumthing missing

Dw33z · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2009, 04:00:04 PM »

I tried this today on a new 512 mb card and other than windows complaining a bit it went w/o a hitch.. Thanks a ton for the tut...

Ghost In Black · « **Reply #19 on:** January 13, 2009, 04:22:37 PM »

Did you guys do this on Windows XP because when I tried to connect it, the drivers wouldn't install correctly. I was using Windows Vista and a 256 MB card.

Dw33z · « **Reply #20 on:** January 13, 2009, 04:57:29 PM »

I did it on xp, the drivers went w/o a hitch at first!! windows recognised it and then poof it was gone

.. All i did was reboot and manually installed all the drivers again and chose a different usb port and all is good for me.

wilson08 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 27, 2009, 09:41:01 AM »

hey, i tried this, i soldered to the correct places etc... But it does'nt work for me???

I know it gets power but the data wires arnt working...

Help!... does anyone have any idea whats happened?

im going to unsolder all my wires and start again... And then post back!

EDIT:

My soldering iron has just broke... I have tried 2 fuses, No... :censored:ING PIECE OF

!

But still, why did'nt it work?

I was'nt using the VOLT REGULATOR, and i was using 256mb card??

Ghost In Black · « **Reply #22 on:** January 27, 2009, 01:57:19 PM »

Did your computer recognize the MU?

wilson08 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 27, 2009, 02:32:29 PM »

no... after i messed around with it, i put it in my xbox and i went in memory options and it did'nt detect my MU either... so perhaps the MU was :censored:ed???

Ghost In Black · « **Reply #24 on:** January 27, 2009, 03:57:49 PM »

Hmm not sure. Check the points that you solder to and see if they're damaged.

nope i did it all perfect... I think the memory card was broke when i got it sooo...
gonna try with another one soon =]

how does this boost achievements? I dont get it. I understand the grabbing game saves from the internet part

Ghost In Black · « **Reply #27 on:** January 31, 2009, 06:17:04 PM »

You can download a 100% complete game save that gives you all the achievements for that game.

ok, I am not one to bump old topics, but I dont want to leave this uncorrected. I have spent about 4 hours to get this working, here is what I have found, if anyone got this to work as origionally posted, please let me know!!

I never got this to work with the 2-33ohm resistors. there are two resistors needed, but not 33's, and they should not be on the data lines. if this is done as it is posted here, microsoft xp picks it up as a malfunctioned device, and will not let you force the driver. this is due to the 33 ohm resistors.

that being said, throw away the 33 ohm resistors. get two 10 ohm resistors, so we can create 20ohms of resistance this 20 ohms of resistance needs to be on the power supply (red) wire. this will bring down the 5v. to where it needs to be. there should be no resistance on the data lines atall. and this works fine. win xp will find two devices, one unkonwn and one security device. go into hardware and open the unkown device, update the driver, do it manually (no search) label it as a usb mass storage device, and for a driver point it at the files listed here. done, open with xplorer360!!

let me know if any one got it to work as origionally posted. we dont want incorrect tuts lying around.

yhh it took me a while to get it working after i tried a lot of resistors, but i did use 33 something ill check in the morning and post what resistors im using

Seems they have to be placed on the data wires white and green.

I did it Exactly as shown in the top picture. I have done it successful on 512,256 and 64mb memory units.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #41 on:** July 26, 2009, 07:40:22 AM »

I have seen the pic and I used the resistors on the data lines, and my pc cannnot read the device, I am using a 512 MC when you remove the resistors from the data lines it will read it imideatly. I have will open my card and do this again, but I know t dont work, as I have personally done this, and I have personally tried to reead it with an xp pc, ad it wont work as shown in th pic. the device is "malfunctioned" according to an xp pc. it will stil work in the xbox, but with the resistors the pc part dont work

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #42 on:** July 26, 2009, 08:23:23 PM »

So this mod doesnt work at all.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #43 on:** July 27, 2009, 05:49:43 AM »

it does work it works perfectly fine, if its done corectly, the tut shows using two 33ohm resistors on the data lines. I could not get the computer to read the memory card to work with any resistor on the data lines, I did use resistors, but I used them on the power line in. (no credit, I found another tut on x-s) the memory card runs at 2.3v, and usb supplies 5v. I used resistors to pull the voltage down slightly(not really nesecary) and nothing on the data lines..and it reads it perfectly, I can transfer game saves from my pc to the card and back. I did this months ago, this member states he used the resistors as shown in this tut and it worked fine, but I call BS, yes it will ork on the xbox end, but when you plug it into a pc 9the whole purpous for doing this, the xp pc wont read it.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #44 on:** July 27, 2009, 08:18:38 PM »

Oh ok so resistor on the power point only ok.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #45 on:** July 28, 2009, 04:39:18 AM »

you do it, try it both ways and lets settle this once and for all. I trust your openion blazinkaos, lets see what you come up with.

GhoSt · « **Reply #48 on:** August 02, 2009, 12:38:30 AM »

I just got my hands on a 256mb, I trust matt, so what you say is to wire it all up without resistors besides the + wire which needs a 20ohm to bring it to 3.3v?

and this will work with Xport360?

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #49 on:** August 02, 2009, 12:41:34 AM »

Well ill be waiting see the results on it. Curious about though i dont use them.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #50 on:** August 02, 2009, 06:16:37 AM »

I tried it all ways, even wihout any resistors, the 20 ohm is precautionary. my pc would not reconize it with resistance on data, without this resistace, your pc will find the memory card and a security device

GhoSt · « **Reply #51 on:** August 07, 2009, 06:49:58 PM »

yea I did it and the computer picks it up with no resistors on the Data lines, just 2 10 ohms on the 5v, works in Xplorer.

Problem is I can't get the xbox to read it anymore??? any ideas.
