Michael McBride Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Can XBOX games be read in RAR format or do they need to be ISO format in order to transfer over by QWIX? OR can they be transfered over in another way to FTP and keep in RAR format and the XBOX can read it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGXbox Admin Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 The Xbox cannot read games in Rar format. They need to be extracted. I don't know about quix. I don't use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Qwix is used to FTP the files in an XISO format dot iso file to the Xbox without first having to extract them from the ISO file. Softmodded consoles can play games by mounting the XISO dot iso file using NKPatcher's driveimageutils attach application. To the Xbox, the mounted disc image acts just like having the DVD disc loaded into the DVD drive. Hard modded consoles can also mount disc images but the hooks to do so have to be added to the kernel just like softmod do. There are a limited number of modified/hacked BIOSes supported. All original MS BIOSes are supported with a softmodded console. Not all archives you find online contain an XISO format disc image (dot iso file). some are already pre-extracted ready to FTP to a subfolder in the Xbox's Games folder. Other's are archival dumps, so called ReDump disc images - these disc images have been posted by others that have matching hashes of a properly archived disc. Redump.org maintains a database of which disc and the hash values of the properly archived data, not the disc image itself. These Redump disc images are exact duplicates of the original Xbox dual-layer DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellraiser988 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 I wouldn't see how it can read a rare file even a PC can't without extracting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes most emulators can but I would rather unzip it and have it 100% work then leave it zipped then find out the emulator won't recognize it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost2916 Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Extract the RAR then you can use Qwix to extract files from the iso then send over to the xbox via FTP or using FatXplorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
