blainelocklair Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyfbxuMgI4M&t=480sHello everyone! First post, and happy to be here. I want to share something that will add value to the community. I've put together a video tutorial on how you can install games directly to the XBOX HDD through the internet and FTP. All you'll need is your softmodded XBOX, an Ethernet cable, and the HDD Ready games you want on the HDD. You'll be up and running with it in no time. Full how-to video is below. Please let me know if this video helps you so that I can make XBOX content that makes your gaming experience more enjoyable. Thanks, Blaine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyfbxuMgI4M&t=480s Edited September 16, 2019 by blainelocklair 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Works for windows 10 as well ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blainelocklair Posted September 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hi K-9! It sure does. FileZilla is free for both Win10 and Mac and will FTP over to the XBOX in exactly the same way. I have both Win10 PCs and Macs and both connect with ease. This is a super easy setup for softmodded XBOX consoles and really adds to the fun factor and ease of use in the long run. -Blaine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikeymikey Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 I thought this was just standard. This has always been the way to transfer games to the hdd. Even back when the scene was alive in the early 00’s this was the done thing. Oh well maybe there’s people out there that didn’t know it could be done. Personally like @M0RPH10U5 I’ve been doing it this way for years!! Download the game, extract the iso and ftp it across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never cloned a xbox drive when copying to a new drive I just set up a FTP sesion and go to bed or work sometimes both. But then when I was modding a 160igig drive was considered huge and if you had 160gig in a desktop you where lucky. SS Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when terabyte drives were just a dream, and ssd's were far and few, and expensive as hell.

My 1st desk top had a HUGE 10 megabyte hard drive and my mate was running a BBS using a Comodore 64 with a hacked bios and a 7 megabyte Hard drive.

EmptySpace Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Just throwing my bit in as not everybody knows this. The Xbox is capable of mounting xiso directly from hard drive using attach.xbe. There isn't any reason to extract/decompress your xiso files simply drop the xiso into the (GAME FOLDER) along with attach.xbe (renamed to default.xbe) and a nice default.png and you're done! UNLESS, you want to play MGS2 or Jade Empire then you will need to use xiso split beforehand. Most of the tools I've mentioned are available in rocky5 github.

K-9 Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Where might I find the 7z file? Is that another extension similar to .iso? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikeymikey Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 @K-9 7z is a compressed archive file, this will need to be uncompressed on your pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blainelocklair Posted September 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Yes, 7z is just another type of .zip file. In the video, I used Keka on Mac OS. It's a $2 app from the App Store that handles a high number of compression types quite gracefully on Mac. Does both compression and extraction well.

xbinwin Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Thanks, this really came in handy after an HDD upgrade I just did. But what about ISOs? Is that "C-Xbox Tool" still a thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Moore Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 For what it is worth (probably not much) I used Filezilla on my mac to copy the chimp app over to my xbox for a clone, and it caused the system to hang after the first two ok checks. I was able to delete it, use another ftp app called Cyberduck, and then chimp worked without issues. I had no idea there was a problem with using Filezilla (something about permissions, I think), until I came across a reddit post from a couple of years ago mentioning that FileZilla transfers cause problems with the chimp clone app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
