I'm trying to softmod my original xbox.
I have 2 usb drive that work, and a usb to controller cable.
1 4GB Sandisk that is supposed to be a working chipset.
1 2GB Generic USB

I have formatted them both by the Xbox system, and by using USBFATXFormatter_v1_3_2
I can copy save files to the USB and they will show up the next time I start the xbox.
They however do NOT show up in Xplorer360b6 (I've tried running as admin.)
I can copy the mod files to the USB using Xplorer360b6, but they don't show up on the xbox.
It is like they are copying to different partitions or something, or the file/user permissions are not matching up.
Does anyone know what the 'owner' of the files should be? Does any know how this Xplorer360b6 software even works/was developed. Is there a github somewhere? Is there something newer that works on the original XBox?
I'm getting really frustrated. I've even tried copying them using an OLD OLD WinXP machine. Same problems.

Download the Xbox Action Replay software.
That should allow you to inject hacked saves into your memory unit (USB drive)

Note, you might need to run it with admin rights and in XP compatibility mode.

The action replay software has a special Xbox Mem Card to USB device, with a driver file. I just have a regular USB key that I plug into the controller slot on the xbox. Is there a setting in Action Replay that allows you to specify a USB port?

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
