Note that depending on the method used to perform this initial copy, some changes may be made - eg, the removal of useless dashboard update files. Typically when copying games to an Xbox's internal HDD, the files on the disc are simply plonked into a folder on the disk. You can then compile your game collection onto that, thus saving future wear and tear on your actual game discs.Īside from the FTP access, is there any other software that I need to extract the game from the Xbox's internal HDD? That won't stop you from FTP'ing it out of the disc drive directly, of course, but you may also consider a HDD upgrade.
Off the top of my head I'm not sure whether it would hold DoA3. Most such dashboards offer full FTP access to each of the partitions on your Xbox's HDD, as well as to the DVD drive: from your PC, you can simply log in with your FTP client of choice, and then copy out whatever.įull Xbox games can indeed be copied to a modded console's internal HDD, but the stock drive is rather small.
Whichever type of mod you apply, the result will allow you to run a homebrewed dashboard (menu systems, such as UnleashX or XBMC) in place of the official MS dash.
To extract games using your Xbox, you'll indeed need to softmod or hardmod it first.
