    A game controller to USB adapter will work. I picked up one for 10.00 at Wal Mart. Radio Shack has them too. The adapter is for converting PS2, Xbox and Wii controllers to PC. (all three controllers in one adapter) it comes with a small disc that installs the drivers on your PC. Then you will need the HACKED AR program and a USB memory card.
    Then you plug the Xbox controller into PC with an Xbox MEM card in the slot, open HACKED AR and it will see the Xbox mem Card.
    The adapter Model number is FT8D91.
    Good luck
    BTW, AR comes with 2 disks, one is Media Player. AR MAX has only 1 DISK.

    AR Prog crashes for me when flash drive is connected...? tried different ones. XP SP3
    Edit: also tried Vista, XP SP2. Sandisk micro cruser 2gb, psp 32MB, psp 1GB, sony 512MB Micro Vault, 1GB Micro Vault, 2GB Micro Vault. All freeze AR...so what am i doing wrong?

    I installed AR with update. connect usb to xbox it formats. on computer i unplug all mass storage devices, and got the vid/pid and changed the first line of xbreader file inside the driver folder. Unplug flash drive open AR. AR seems to work plug in usb drive... freeze. Drive still in computer start AR freeze.

    Alright im going crazy over this thing. Maybe its my flash drives, maybe not. Maybe im just doing something stupid. Maybe ill just give up for now.

    Edit: ive uninstalled everything, all drives n stuff, and reinstalled it, it now doesn't crash. 2GB SanDisk Micro Cruser formats, but AR doesnt dectect it. 2GB Sony Micro Vault, xbox seems to not see the files put by AR. Also AR doesnt seem to see the files put on by the Xbox.

    Edit: After tring almost everything I had n couldnt get it to work, i tried mp3 player, that also fails. But the micro SD reader that came with M3 Real worked perfectly with Kingston 1GB JP. You have to format the memory card on AR before putting files on it though.
    By the way i did this mod to load/swap save files, not to use for softmodding. Although the files does copy 2 the xbox n it should work.

    Thanks chunkhead for sharing!

    ok hello guys. decided to finally try to mod my xbox and all was going well but i hit a snagg. i have done all the steps outlined in this tut, and redone them about 5 times to make sure it wasnt just me. I got the jump drive to get recognized and formatted by the xbox. i have AR installed. i have updated the driver on the jump drive. now when i go to run AR it seems to recognize the jump drive as the AR logo flashes when i insert it and disconnect it but i cant get any of the save on to the memery card side. can anyone help please. finally got up the nerve to do it got the game jump drive software but cant get past this . thanks in advance.

    Woo!
    I just softmodded successfully, so happy!

    Wanted to say that I used three different USB drives and one MP3 player from Asia somewhere, and none of them worked. The USB drives all just made the Memory screen flash repeatedly, and AR wouldn't put files onto the MP3 player ("not enough space on card").

    The drives that didn't work were:
    Kingston DataTraveler 128MB - Picture here;
    Toshiba 2GB - Picture here;
    Transcend JetFlash V30 2GB - Picture here;
    JWD MP3 Player (Model: JWM-10) - Picture here.

    The USB drive that worked perfectly for me was the:
    Shintaro 1GB - Picture here.

    Thanks for the tutorial =]

    I can confirm that the following are compatible and work!
    PsP 4gb Sandisk Memorystick (did everything ON PSP)

    and the IBM Card Jumpdrive (Not avaible, its pretty much a usb card, looks like a lunch card/credit card and a usb thing that flips out!)

    hi guys,

    my softmodded xbox has died so have bought a new one to softmod. i've lost the usb drive i used to mod the box, so have bought a new Sandisk micro 2gb one (which is on the working list).

    but having problems. after formatting, instaling max driver etc the usb is recognised in Action Replay, but says no space. if i format it it reappears with 64 game saves, which if i delete them does not free up space ?

    any ideas ? i bought this usb as it says on the wiki list that it works, so hoping it actually does !

    or other idea - is there any way i can transfer the modded HD from the dead xbox to the new xbox ?

    cheers

    Stu
