Make an action replay device using flashdrive

[sk8freak315]

I have used this site to figure this out but I am going to explain it my way, because they put in un-needed downloads.

Things you will need---
1. Xbox controller cable

2. Female usb cord

3. Flashdrive

4. Wirecutters/Scissors
5. Electrical tape
6. Xplorer360 ---- DOWNLOAD HERE! ----
(Optional) - A soldering gun if you wish to solder it and make it more reliable.

I am not 100% sure about these but here is a list of devices that do and dont work on the xbox as a memory card.
Xbox USB Compatibility List - Xbox-Linux

Step-1.
Cut the female usb cord leaving space for it to be stripped and extra room.
Cut the xbox cord from the controller again enough room for it to be stripped and have extra room.

Step-2.
Strip both the female usb cord and the xbox controller enough so they can be soldered together or twisted.
Pull away any foil sheilding, exposing wires.

Step-3.
There will be A Red, Black, Green, and White wire on the female usb cord, also on the xbox cord will be a Yellow wire just cut that off or just leave it there, it wont be used.
Twist or solder the RED to RED, BLACK to BLACK, GREEN to GREEN and WHITE to WHITE wires together.

Step-4.
Cover all the wires together so that none of them touch with the electrical tape. Your cable should be something like this. Without the flashdrive in it and not cut off.


Step-5.
Insert your flashdrive that you are going to be using into your computer.
(NOTE)-Everything is going to be deleted on you flashdrive so please back everything on it up on your pc.
GO into MY COMPUTER and right click on the flashdrive, make sure it is the right one! Then right click on it and choose format. Format it to FAT32.

Step-6.
Take your newly made cord and formatted flashdrive to your xbox, insert your newly made cord into a controller port and insert the flashdrive into the other end. Go to Memory Mangement and there should be a controller port, click on it and it should say that it has been erased. Your flashdrive is now formatted for the XBOX!

DONE!!!
You have successfully made an action replay device with the amount of memory as pleased thanks to your flashdrive. Use Xplorer360 to drag files onto your flashdrive when inserted into your pc by clicking DRIVE \ OPEN \ HARDDRIVE OR MEMORYCARD. Then click on PORTION 0.

Thanks to

UPDATE
I now put the controller back on the cord and put the flashdrive slot into thefront memory card slot and soldered it inside. I may add a tutorial for this, but it requires soldering and I will only possibly add it by request. Heres some pics.

Yes, all you need is the file and the game after making this.

[Forgoten Dynasty]

[XL Si Solja LX]

[Lollllllllll]

So i put my custom drive into the xbox with the 2 files i need, but it just says "searching for saved game files" and then it doesn't show anything on my memory card.


Its an old iPod shuffle, if that matters

Very cool. You should make the tut on how to make a flashdrive-memory card.

Umm I'm not too sure if the ipod shuffle will work. I just added this to the post.
Xbox USB Compatibility List
Did you format it to the xbox? Steps 5 & 6. ( PS. It erases everything off the device.)
Sorry if it does not work.

Steps 5 & 6 are how to make a flashdrive work on the xbox. Also you must have the Xplorer360 for the computer to read it after its formatted to the xbox. Download link is at top of post.
Thanks for the sticky! ( PS.. Sorry if my post is very simular to yours, I never seen your post.)

[digitalhigh]

Hope it's not too late to say this...but if you format your Shuffle to XFAT, then you're gonna wipe the default software off of it...making it useless. I wouldn't recommend re-formatting it.

And I was mistaken...it looked like you actually soldered a flashdrive to a memory card...making a supermemcard. I might try doing this...

[playhockey162]

ok i got the cord made and its good... When i plug it into the xbox after formatting into fat32 it says it will erase i click ok then i take back to computer and u xplorer360 i put the files i need in then i take the flashdirve out and to xbox then i plug in and go to memory then click on mem card then it doesnt have any files. When i go over to xbox hd and try to copy something it doesnt let me. I need help plzzzzz

[sk8freak315]

Hmm, well is your xbox modded yet? I need to know that first. Is that what you are trying to do? Because if your xbox is not modded it will only show gamesaves. If its not modded you should still be able to copy gamesaves to it still.

[playhockey162]

no its not modded, thats wat im tryin 2 do. im doin a soft mod. When i transfer the sid4 launcher and splinter cell gamesave to mem card then take usb to cord it doesnt show up on xbox. Please help

[David5534]

Try useing the files from this tut, unless you already used them.

[playhockey162]

Oh, and if I do this, can someone direct me to the things I need to put onto my flashdrive so I can softmod it?
Just a simple download link will do..

And can someone take a pic of what the two things connected would look like? Or better yet, make a vid lol!

I was confused a LOT.
The wires you see inside the wire you need to tear off the sides of those wires... Dont know how familiar you are. I didn't know anything though. haha
