Xbox play games off usb

Microsoft has confirmed that games on a USB external hard drive will be easy to swap between generations. While the new generation of consoles set to release this November is promising huge advances in performance, upgrading to next-gen has never been more confusing. The interview also confirmed that Quick Resume , a new feature that allows the next-gen Xbox to pause games in the background even while other games are being played, will also work for games being loaded off an external hard drive or the Seagate Storage Expansion Card.

Prepare your Xbox: First thing you should do If possible is to connect your Xbox to the Internet and update your Dashboard. You can do this simply by choosing the 'Live' options and select 'Account recovery' this updates your dashboard automatically and once finished will ask you for details of your account to continue, just quit as you've accomplished the task of updating the Dashboard.

If you actually have a 'Live' account you probably don't need to do anything as your Dashboard will be up to date. Time to Load our save game: Start the 'Mechassault' Game, once in the game and it's loaded select the option to load a saved game.

Make sure it loads from the hard-drive and if needed delete any existing save games that you may have had before you copy the game save exploit over. The save game should start to load, after a wait of about 10 seconds it should load the UnleashX dash. If this doesn't work try starting over, there's a chance your game is newer and patched to fix the exploit hole.

You should see the UnleashX dash which looks like the photo below. From the main menu, you should see 'Waffle Zone Tool' press 'A' to enter this menu and you should now see the options as the above photo.

If you're not sure just eject your game disk and power off the Xbox after two minutes, this should be more than enough time to create the EEPROM backup.

The first thing you should do is FTP into your Xbox using the IP address shown on your dashboard username:xbox password:xbox. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Thank you for the information. However, it doesn't show a way to actually download it again. Is that possible? I ask because I do not have internet service right now and would be downloading it through a computer.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This thread is locked.
