Xbox Offline Xbox Live Downloadable Content [DLC] Installers

[Harcroft]

I took a look and you are correct. FeudalNate's quest signer tool on Xbox doesn't seem to work on Xemu. I sent him a message about it.

I have some good news and some bad news for you. The good news is you still have two methods to install the quests https://github.com/feudalnate/PSO-Quest-DLC-Tools You can use this tool (also from FeudalNate) on your PC to sign the quests and just FTP them into the folders the installer creates.
From the installer Content\Quests\ choose your language, the files go in E:\TDATA\4d53004a\$c\. If you're using english quests they go in the following folders:
quest72_e.dat goes in 4D53004A20000048
quest284_e.dat goes in 4D53004A2000011C
quest285_e.dat goes in 4D53004A2000011D
quest477_e.dat goes in 4D53004A200001DD

All that being said, those 4 quests and and others can be downloaded from the SchtHack or Sylverant PSO servers that you can connect to through Insignia.

Now the bad news. PSO runs pretty poorly on Xemu. Even with a top tier gaming PC you're not going to get a playable experience on Xemu just yet.

@Harcroft First, let me say these DLC installers are a great resource. Thank you for your efforts! I recently got into Xbox emulation via Xemu. Then just this weekend, learned about Insignia (amazing to be back on XBL). Which brought me to your post (since some games needed title updates). I've been having a great time installing updates for games I haven't played in 20 years! I ran into an issue with Phantasy Star Online though. I'm wondering if you can help. I created an iso from the DLC and I installed the NTSC update with font fix / widescreen patch without a problem. But when I go to install the quests, The installer opens, but I get a 'FAILED' message for each of the 4 quests (see image upload). I'm on Win 10, running Xemu 0.7.117 with original Xbox dashboard. Thanks for your time.

Thanks so much for looking into this and providing some alternatives. I do have Insignia up and running. Even logged into PSO over the weekend. I was wondering why it was so laggy.

I’ll see about downloading the quests there. Or maybe I’ll FTP to the folders you mentioned. Honestly, at times I have more fun configuring the games and emulators than actually playing!

All the best and Happy Holidays!

First of all thank you for this amazing work! This is awesome!
I was just wondering, if there is an all in one pack to download?

 

[Harcroft]

I have never assembled a single pack of installers in one download, but you can try this:
https://www.xbox-scene.info/forums/...-a-collection-of-known-dlcs-on-a-single-disc/
I do not support or endorse it simply because I haven't looked at it and had no input in it's creation.

I am working on a pack of all the DLC and updates to just throw on a public repo but I do need help from the community to verify the documentation and packages for accuracy.

Thank you! This looks promising! I appreciate it!

I tested it today, but i will wait for a pack of all the dlc and updates. I really prefer what we have here - a small executable for every game. The one from the link is basically a disc Image from unleashx. It destroys my network settings every time and you cant save changes, because its an Image file. But it's still a nice effort and it was an easy download for 113 games.

So it was quite easy to download all DLC packages with jdownloader. If you want to follow the idea of packing an all in one dlc package, you could start easy and limit it to insignia playable games at first. I am pretty sure, that this community could be really helpful in verifying the usability of packages.

I can confirm, that the counter strike dlc package works and is compatible with insignia to start off.

Made an account just to say thanks! I downloaded the Brute Force DLC and it worked like a charm. Still haven't been able to beat the DLC campaign mission on Brutal without losing anyone. Not sure if it is possible!!

 

[Harcroft]

I have no interest in bullding a giant pack for everything in one menu. Though I do intend to make some more group packages like all DDRU DLC in one menu system.
I also semi-regularly update individual installers so the larger packs could be made out of date very quickly.
The Counter-Strike DLC and updates specifically are hosted on Insignia now, seeing how small they both are, that's a very good option for downloading them. When things like Halo 2's DLC become available though users will still want to use other methods to install as installing through Insignia will take well over 30 minutes.

I'm still working on a bulk pack of all the content we currently have collected paired with documentation explaining what all of it is. Lack of help from the community is slowing things down. That may not be as user friendly as an installer, but it will be great for people who want to build their own preload pack or who can FTP all they content they want onto a console and just run FeudalNate's signer.

Awesome! I'm glad you're getting use out of this today all these years after we started this project.

Just a quick question about those dlcs:
The installer asks me to select a region, pal or ntsc. Now I am located in pal region and I have a pal xbox, but my eeprom is set to ntsc. And I have got ntsc and pal games. Which region should i select when installing dlcs then?
Any help would be highly appreciated!

 

[Harcroft]

The region of the Title Update has to match the region of your game XBE. If you have a PAL game, install a PAL update.
When in doubt you can reference this list.
https://consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox:Xbox_Title_Updates

You can check the region and version of your XBE with DeXbe in windows or with DVD2xbox XBE info on the xbox.

Halo 2 installer updated with a real French Update 5 to replace the spoofed one.
Added Halo 2 xISO for Xemu users, limited this version to the 4 DLCs, the 7 gametypes, and the 5 real + 3 remaining spoofed Title Update 5 versions

The missing French update 5 for Halo 2 was contributed by an anonymous Insignia user. That console dump also includes missing updates for Star Wars Battlefront, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Tetris Worlds.

Hello, can anybody help me with this PGR2 DLC, I must of tried about 100 times now and every time I press 'default.xbe the screen goes black and i just hear the hard drive doing a steady repetitive beat over and over, I left it for five mins but thought I should stop it, I have put the folder 'Project Gotham Racing 2 DLC' in just about every drive and folder there is and clicked on the 'default.xbe' that is inside the 'Project Gotham Racing 2DLC' folder and get the same repetitive clicking each time and after checking the TDATA, I can see nothing has been added. I read that the PAL version is now included and I can see that there are separate NTSC and PAL folders and i assume that if the installer loaded it would ask me which one I wanted to choose? (I am in UK with UK console and game disc). I am new to this whole thing (Softmod, FTP, etc.) and would just like to know if I am doing it right in the first place and if I am, then what is going wrong? I'm using 'Rocky5 v1.1.8'

Hello Harcroft and all the others here!

First: Great job you do here - I'm amazed.

Second: Sadly I have the same issue as user Anthony Lester described in August 2021 (see quote). Sadly there was no reply to his post back then, so I hope somebody can help us here.

Installing PGR2 Booster Packs (Paris and Long Beach) works just fine, but I can't see the Booster packs ingame. I guess this is because I'm not able to install the Title Update. I tried several hours now - no chance to get it to work.

If I start the TU from the Dashboard Launcher, I get to a full screen showing the loading picture "loading.png" from the CDXU folder. I can cleary hear the hard drive doing something, but nothing happens. The full screen loading picture show forever, and I have to shut down the XBox to get it to stop.

If I start the TU by using my file manager, and open the default.xbe, I can see a selection screen where I have 3 options: PAL, NTCS and Reboot. No matter which of the entries I choose - nothing happens. I can just hear some sort of a chime sound, but nothing else happens.

Any idea what can be the issue here?

- I have a XBox with XECUTER2 chip
- PAL XBox, PAL PGR2 disc
- I copied all the files via FileZilla, using Binary Transfer mode
- I also tried copying the game to my HDD by using DVD2xbox, but TU still don't work

It would be so cool if I can get the Booster Packs installed.

Cheers from Austria

The Forza update does work, it's just not compatible with your version of the game. As shown on the list above I have a 2nd Forza update to add to the installer. There are 2 completely different filesets for Forza's title update.

Thank you, this helped me. Forza Motorsport online now is working!

 

[Harcroft]

Both PGR2 DLCs are parial DLC and partial unlockers with most of the actual DLC being in the title update. If you have a PAL disc use the PAL update. If you have an NTSC disc use the NTSC update. The incorrect update your your disc will fail to load.
If you're trying to launch the TU installer directly, don't. It's configured to launch from the DLC installer menu. Otherwise the paths will be wrong.
If the 2nd installer fails to load there could be several possible problems:
- your HDD could be failing
- you may not have FTPd over the entire installer
- you may have file transfer mode set to ASCII in your FTP client which may have damaged some of the file in transit (triple check, this is common with people saying they have it set to binary)
- you may have a parental settings issue on the console

Beyond that Flicker Filter patch in XBMC prevents TUs from loading.
You may already have a broken or unsigned title update present, FTP into your HDD and check the TDATA folder for PRG2 to see what's already there. If it is, delete the contents of that folder and try reinstalling the content and update. There's a bit of info about this in the readme file.

The PAL region version of this game came out long after the North American version and the update is baked it. As such it has no Xbox Live title update.
I can add changing the menu to say NTSC to my list of minor fixes, but that's at the lowest priority of what needs work.

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to install some DLC and Updates on Xemu Emulator and it worked fine at first. However, at some point Xemu gave me an error saying that I don't have enough free blocks left. I do have a modified qcow2 HHD image with a lot of space, so I don't understand why I cannot install any further data on the hdd. Can anyone help me? I've attatched screenshots.
