do not use knock-off xbox memory cards. use M$ memory cards (even though i hate to say it) they are better! There is no data courruption like in the knock-offs.

Hi I recently purchased the interact memory card and made a usb data cable and edited the .inf file for the memory card. When I try to load a save on the memory card it starts to upload the file and then it crashes.
Here is the pic:

Please any help would be nice.

I want to say thats vintage guitar for the help from you and other in getting my xbox to pc usb dongles perfected.
Now, I could use some help with this. I have a lot of usb flash drives that when inserted to the xbox, via the modded cabling will format and become an awesome memory card. Now when plugged into the usb of the pc I get nothing. I have tryed the megaxkey software yet NO JOY yet. I am searching for a remedy for this just no luck as of now. If someone can help. That would be awesome!
The drive is a AD pintech usb 64 meg flash drive. If more info is needed. I will try to gather it. Thank you for your time
Take care

ok this guide helped me out heaps besides the lack of instructions for making sure you have 2 seperate zips if the gamesave is not for just one game, if you get what i mean.
anyways i am asking about the flash drives... my theory suggests that if the drive is recognized in windows without specialist drivers it should be find on the xbox. so is that correct at all?
i've only tested one drive and it worked so i'm not sure

so i actually went out and buyed an action replay, but it never worked, so i emailed the tech-support guys at their official website for help and they told me i would need to return it because i have a faulty AR memory card. The thing is though that i lost my receipt so i can't return it. I do however own an Interact Flash 8mb memory unit and i was wonder if you know how ot get that to work With the action replay (when i plug it into the AR thingy through the USB port it says i have to install software for a new USB device, but i don't know what to do...i just can't get it to work)
i hope you can help, i payed $30 for this thing and i just want it to work

Hi,
Just wonder if anyone can help.I find this tut. and it sound great, install AR's sw and edit the ini and it can read my Xbox formated USB thumb drive (the xbox can format and transfer save game to this thumb drive). But after I transfer save game from AR to the thumb drive, the thumb drive doesn't work anymore on the xbox. The xbox seems to blink and have very slow respone. I have try diff. thumb drive (SAN Disk Crus and HP) with similar result. Has anyone any idea ? The AR sw is the current one on codejunkies site.
Thanks

hey guys. seems i have a problem

whenever i try to install either of the two action replay softwares, i get an error stating that "c:\\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and MS Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application."
and it gives me two options: close and ignore. i've tried both, but neither do a thing. the installer just exits.
i've tried restarting and junk, but nothin seems to work. is this a prob in my windows or the software? what can i do to fix it?

Well since i am here anyways and i read the whole subject, i like to add:
I tried this Action Replay thingy on a STMP3500 MP3 player and it works.
So this should work for all the same devices which uses this chip.
- Marquant MP3 speler MP3-117 256MB
- Hp audiokey 32-256MB
- Sweex MP3 player pacific/mediteranian 128MB
- Creative Muvo TX 128-256MB
etc.
U need to add the corresponding PID in the driver xbreader.inf file
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_066F&PID_8000
And for the savegames to work in AR you need to change a few things in the savegame. There is a file in the save of the game itself called datelinfo.xbx and there is a databasefile for the AR program to know what is in the directory.
One easy solution is :
Find in the database the file splintercell or whatever gamesave. Open it with ZIP prog. U see a UDATA dir in it > delete it .
Now open the savegame of the exploit and copy the dir UDATA to this empty zip-file u just had opened.
Close it and run the AR prog and copy the savegame u used to the memory-device.
U need the exact same one as u emptied in the first place.
Dont worry about the text doesnt seem right or anything else, once u done u see the right savegame in your memory-device.
Any other files like txt are no problem i believe.
Another thing: the driver stops responding after 20 minutes or less. re-plug the device if you dont see it connected anymore.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to use a USB<>USB interconnect ?
So u can have a USB network with pc.
I also like to know wheter i can use my Bluetooth as a wireless device for the XBOX
I didn't come to the point of using the exploits since i dont have the original games.
But i will manage to get my 1.6b xbox from 2-6-2004 to work, even if i have to replace chips and all.

Mar 10 2005, 03:39 AM
update on the last one.
I found a guy who has original splintercell that came with his xbox

So i used the mp3 player to transfer the savegame, put the game in
the dvd-drive and turned off the XBOX. Turned on > game starts wait...
load the saved game and there it was : the softmod v2 auto-installer
unlike the manual says u need to press A twice and start the saved
game/linux installer. I pressed buttons from up to down ( backup and stuff)
and while i was adjusting some settings it accidently rebooted.. i waited and
voila evox booted. After some tests with video and stuff and doing weird stuff
to it like put a copied game in and turn on the xbox and backup all, run some
progs like emulators and xboxtools, unplugged powercord while it was in evox
and while copying a game (shouldn't do that

) . It works great on my xbox 1.6b

Whats even better is to add a usb male plug onto the top of the memory card. Look around for a tutorial. It's really easy. It'll let you use that card as a PC and XB memory device.

It no longer allows me to edit my first post so.. INSTEAD OF USING HID use this easy LINK
http://www.redcl0ud.com/files/XBCDv107.exe XBCD allows you to use your controller to play as a joystick on the PC as well as HID however..all you need to do is install this..no device manager garbage. For the lazy people;). So in short..if HID doesn't work for you..use THIS. All work is of the original author..blah blah.

Just to clear something up-
I opened my xbox controller socket, and soldered a female connector onto it, so i could plug a USB stick in for use as a memory card. However i found out that 1.6 xbox's (The newest ones) don't allow you to use these as memory cards anymore. I then unsoldered the female and replaced it with the male. Looking at the connectors you can see RED BLACK YELLOW and GREEN, so naturally i thought RED-RED, BLACK-BLACK, GREEN-GREEN, YELLOW-WHITE (As i knew yellow wasnt used by USB) However when i plugged this into the computer to use it as a control pad using XBCD it didnt work, and when trying to edit the .inf and reinstall i got the error "The device is not supported by........". I saw that some of you had seen this error and thought i'd tell you what it is.
Although the wires inside the cable may be the same colour, it doesn't mean that they are the same data transfer wires. (Mine should've been YELLOW-GREEN, GREEN-WHITE). So if anyone else is trying to use a crappy extension cable they got with their MP3 player, this is how the wires should be soldered.

Well, I made my controller Pc usable. Installed all the drivers. The controller is fine. I plugged in the Memory card and made it have the Action Replay drivers. Thats fine. Action replay DOES recognize my memory card (Max drive or sumthing) and it is compatible but when I drag a NORMAL save into the AR it tells me "Error writing save"
I would really appreciate help with this.

will this work with any version of xbox ..... the action replay i mean ... also i have the software needed , i think .... it's the board.de ultimate boot-cd 4.0 and after you transfer the action replay do you just start the softmod install or what?

k, first, to masterchief, to answer your question, your filles were corrupted while saving, this can happen with 3rd party cards, sorry.
second, i dont know if this has been has already been cleared up, but:
i wanted to make an action replay, so i spliced an xbox break away cable with a USB connecter (works) and downloaded the AR software (works), i also downloaded the drivers for the controller (works).
however, when i reboot and insert my Arsenal 8MB memory card, it says found new hardware, plese select driver. i direct it to where i insalled AR, and when i open the drivers folder, there is nothing in there, and i cant access my card.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this, or where i can download the software(i know its free) but i need one which has the driver there.

Okay sorry for posting in a pretty much dead topic, but i really need some help.
Today i bought an un-official memory card made by GAME, i whipped up the cable to plug my controller into my pc, and installed the drivers for the controller; it worked like a treat. Okay now, i put in the memory card into the controller, use USBview to get the idVendor and idProduct, i edit the "xbreader.inf" file, go to update the driver for the memory card, but windows says there isnt any drivers for my hardware in the specified location.
I dont know what to do, how can i get this to work? Is it something to do with XP? Will it work on 98?
Does anyone know how i can read and write to a FATX usb pen on Linux? Cause that would solve my problems. Ive got Gentoo.
If neither of these ways work i guess i shall just have to go out and get myself an Action Replay.
Cheers,
Chad.

%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USBVID_0E4C&PID_044B <----Gamster

QUOTE(galladel @ Mar 31 2004, 04:36 AM)

Hmmm is anyone still reading this? Anyways, i wanted to add my little bit here. The reason you want to "make your own" is really to save a few bucks right? Why spend 29.99 on a MS memory card when you can buy a cheapo no name thrustmaster memory card for 14.00 i hear some places you can buy ms memory cards for 25.00 bucks but even still being able to use a cheap o memory card should save you at least 10 bucks so here are the steps to get said "cheap-o-memory card"to work with Action replay drivers.
1. Get usbview.exe google it it's easy to find.
2. Attach your controler and install it(you should have no problem here)
3. Attach your cheap-o-memory card(this is where the trouble starts)
at this point you deviate from the standard tutorial if your cheap-o-memory card is not supported.
4. Once the "found new device" warning pops up open up usbview.exe do not install drivers!
5. You should find an unnamed "device" connected right with your xbox controler select this pane and look for "idVendor" and "idProduct".
6. Go to where you installed Action replay and inside the folder "drivers" open up the file "xbreader.inf" with notepad or txtpad in there find the sectiong that has this:
[_Devices]
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_DBAE
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_0316
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_045E&PID_0280
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_0738&PID_4507
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_040B&PID_6520
Take note of "VID"=idVendor "PID"=idProduct!
wow how simple was that?
7.copy the last line and paste it on the next empty line so it should look like this
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_DBAE
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_0316
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_045E&PID_0280
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_0738&PID_4507
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_040B&PID_6520
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_040B&PID_6520
8. Replace the lines info with what USBview gives you for instance my 14.00 cheap-o-memory card info was this:
idVendor 044F
idProduct 0F0C
so the last line should look like
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_044F&PID_0F0C
so now your segment should look like this
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_DBAE
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_0316
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_045E&PID_0280
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_0738&PID_4507
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_040B&PID_6520
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_044F&PID_0F0C
9. Save the file and try to make windows search for the driver again!
10. Use your 10.00 to 15.00 saved to buy a copy of 007:AUF!
Well I'm not doing it to save money, i am just determined to get the damn thing working, I have done exactly as you have done then updated the driver and still when i try to drag and drop the LINUX file onto the memory card from PC the Action Replay Software crashes, if you manage to get anywhere with this I would be grateful if you would let me know P.S. My Memory card is a cheap and nasty chinese thing, i would go and buy a genuine one but knowbody sells them round here....
