    Ok, I've learned a little more that about title updates that I want to share with everyone.

    1. You do not need the full version of an arcade game to get the updates for it. However, simply downloading the trial is not enough to get the update. You must start the game while signed in to XBox Live. If there is an update, you will be prompted to download it.

    2. Most arcade games do not have updates. Of the arcade games I tested, between one third and one half had updates.

    3. It does appear that updates installed into the cache are permanently stored. I have opened my HDD's cache a second time to install updates and found that updates I had put in had been copied to the Content folder.

    4. Changelogs for updates are hard to find. However, there are a few sources you can try if you want the changelog: the discussion forum for the game, online strategy guides, and wikis (usually only for series or very popular games).

    *** Edited 01-16-10: added the following ***

    5. Digiex does not support apostrophes (') in filenames. Everything up to and including that character is dropped.

    Yeah, updates no matter what, that is how they stopped the bug in Shadow Complex so no one could play the full game without paying, though its obviously still possible if the update isn't downloaded or deleted.

    I'm having trouble getting the title updates to load on a previously banned console. In my Cache folder I have some crazy garbled characters. I have tried dumping the Title updates into the Cache folder and firing up games but they are still not loading the proper updates. Running on the 8955 system dash. Any help would be appreciated.

    The one I am trying to get working is Gears of War 2 - TU #5.

    Use Xplorer 360 Extreme Edition, I have had nothing but problems with Xport 360.

    Will the game tell me in any way thats it updating/updated the game?
    I copied a TU for a game into the part3 cache folder.
    But when i start the game its not telling me it updating or anything like that.

    is something wrong? or do i just have to guess its updated?

    Well if your having any problems with the game see if there fixed, if yes then the title update is working. Some games like Halo 3 tell you the version number on the main menu, for most games you wont notice any difference unless you notice its fixed a bug for example.

    If you got the title update for your region or a region free update its most likely working.

    When I insert a title update into the cache folder, the same file appears to be duplicated several times. For example, I just cleared the cache via the 360 so the folder is empty, then I inserted the title update for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing and this is how it looks: -



    Should I delete the duplicate files so there's just 1 there, or am I OK leaving it as it is?

    Has anyone else encountered a problem using x360 tool with COMDL.OCX? I've tried multiple ways to get the dependencies correct but cant quite get it to work. I'd really like to get it to work because I would like to both add title updates and download title updates from digiex but I would be unsure of what I am uploading without a working x360 tool. Thanks in advance.

    If you downloaded x360 Tool from here I included COMDLG32.OCX in the zip file, just unzip both to the same folder.

    After right click on x360Tool.exe and run the program with administrator rights, it should work perfectly then.

    When not run with admin rights it just complains about COMDLG32.OCX
