if you have some dvd-rw, you can put them on the cd in folders (unzipped) and use unleash, avalaunch or xbmc to copy off the dvd-rw to the xbox.

most xboxes don't read cd-r's
some will and some will read cd-rw
all of them read dvd-r and dvd-rw.

goodluck

if you have an action replay you can! All you have to do is unzip the save and create a folder called 'SAVES' where the '000000? - Slot?' folder is and place a duplicate folder  inside the 'SAVES'  folder called '000000? - Slot?' and add your files in there, then rezip. Your soft mod should have a explore section, now you can open the drive where your files need to go and copy from the mem card. I hope this helps!

Hmmmm nice try but i think there will be problems doing that. Firstly, how do you plan to move the files from memory card to the correct place on your xbox? If you use Microsofts copy from memory card, they will end up in a useless directory. If i'm wrong, this is still a ridiculous way of transferring files. You have a file limit of around 1mb if using the softmod save to hide your files.

Disks would be OK but to be honest, fork up the $5 for a crossover cable.

If you are going to transfer files over to the xbox with the memory card then use UnleashX. It will display the memory card in as a H: drive or whatever drive that isn't already in use. Then you can transfer whatever you want.

I think the mem card has a 8mb space ... not 1mb.

Listen dr fweega, you cannot transfer any old zip file onto your mem card, it needs to be 'hidden' within a gamesave. So if anyone is going to try this *silly* way of transferring files, you are going to be able to clear maybe 4mb tops out of the installer - and thats if you really know what you are doing.

Do'nt be scared of FTPing, you have a pc, hopefully an nic, maybe even a router...its all set up for you just plug the two things together.

Wow, that narrows it down to 4mb worth of information instead of 1mb.

I use ftp for all my transferring but shame on us for thinking outside of the box.
