I didn't see a section for the original xbox. If there is one, and I just overlooked it, it would be appreciated if this thread got moved there.

So on topic.. a friend of mine picked up an original xbox and I've been eager to soft mod for him. I haven't touched one in years. I found an old copy of splinter cell that I had stored away but can't find a memory card. Typically I would just splice a USB cable to the controller to transfer the exploit save game, but that won't be an option without the card.

So my question is, would it be possible to hotswap the hdd to a pc after the mobo unlocks it and transfer the savegame that way? If so, what partition and directory are these savegame stored?

I used this cable,

and a old 2gb mp3 player i didn't use anymore to transfer the softmod to the xbox. The mp3 player was formatted by the xbox to read as a xbox memorycard. I used S.I.D. 5.12.

I wondered if it would be possible to use a flash drive. Seems you can. That's fucking brilliant. I'm just going to splice a female port USB cable to the controller dongle. I think that should work. Thanks guys, got better info then I had hoped for. Plus my friend will be a bit more at ease that I don't have to take the Xbox apart. Well, until we put a new hdd in anyway.

Also one more thing. It does not matter if splinter cell is platinum hits or not. My platinum hits one works fine with it.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
