How to extract / dump title updates (patches) to and from a 360 USB memory stick

That part confuses me.
Because in the guide it says "the game will now use the title update if no hard drive is connected to the console"

 

It says this because normally the 360 will look in the hard drive for the TU (title update), if there isn't a hard drive in the 360 but only a flash drive it will look in the flash drive for the TU instead. So if you don't have a hard drive or a way to access your hard drive then this would be the best way to still use title updates on game.

 

Ok then....

So I should just put the update on my USB plug it into my 360 with the HDD attached then just launch Fallout New Vegas?

 

Not quite, in order for it to use the TU you would have to have the Hard Drive unattached and then launch New Vegas. The 360 will only read title updates from a flash drive when a 360 hard drive isn't present. If you want to keep a hard drive in and still use the TU then the TU would have to be on the Hard Drive itself, not the flash drive.

 

Ah ok I see now.

So any update on the USB isnt a perminate thing unless you some how have access to your 360 HDD.

I do have a Microsoft Transfer Kit so maybe Ill try that method then since it sounds more efficent

 

Since you have a Transfer Cable, that solution is much better. This solution is really only for people who can't access the hard drive or just don't have a hard drive.

 

Hi!

I have a problem..
well i want to install a title update for WaW because i want to mod nazi zombies...
Eh anyway i get xtaf run it open drive and... the program freezes.. it won`t open my freaking usb flash drive..
suggestions?
Excuse my english (not my primary language)

 

This is actually normal. You just have to wait some time before it'll pick the program back up and show your USB. So after you try to open just wait a bit and after its done saying "(Not Responding)" it should show the contents of the flash drive. For English not being your primary language, its actually better then most people that have English as a primary language.

 

Nah, you don't have to disconnect the HD. All I've been doing for a while is loading the TU's onto a USB stick with xtaf and I just leave it connected to the 360. I don't even save my games to the USB stick. As long as it is connected it will read the TU just fine. Works for every game I've tried, installed to the HD or not.

 

Same here.I used the patch for New Vegas and i didnt have to disconnect the HD.The version changed at the options menu.

 

Guys in XTAF, I only have a Root > Content, NO CACHE! Someone help please

 

Do I have to plug in the flash-drive every time I play the game and will I see an update box?

 

So I should copy my profiles over to the flashdrive also, since I can't plug in the hard-drive?

 

Hi, whenever I try to use xtaf i get an error:

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.

I am running windows 7 x64 and have no idea how to fix this error. Already tried re-downloading the program and using a different source but always the same error. Any help would be appreciated.

​

 

it works for me on windows 7 64 bit.try using modio or xport 360 these programs can open usb drives formatted by xbox 360

 

Can I do this if I have the last dashboard update?

 

yes.

 

Ok so i inject the TU and put it in my xbox and load the game and use the usb but it doesn't show it and also when it takes me back to dashboard it says i need a system update. If you can help me msg my gamertag (360) xSiL3NTKiLLa141
