#XBOX 360 FATX FORMAT TOOL UPDATE#

I used a Sandisk Cruzer 1GB (in photo) and experienced no issues. (its kind of outdated, but Im watching a tutorial and its the tool he uses) I have my Reach save that I transferred to the USB but Liberty will only recognize USBs under the file format of FATX, which I know the 360 uses, but there was an update a while back to the dashboard, so now whenever you format a USB on the 360 it formats to Fat32. A comprehensive list of USB key compatibility and issues by manufacturer and model is maintained at the XBOX Linux project (kudos to them). FATXplorer makes your exploration into the Xbox 360’s most interesting file systems more exciting than ever. Designed with speed, compatibility, and reliability in mind, FATXplorer aims to be at the forefront of your Xbox 360 tool arsenal. When you format a flash drive or Portable Hard Drive to use for your 360 it will format the memory needed (max of 16GB) and then the extra memory you have for that device is unusable because its makes it a FATX format. FATXplorer is the ultimate Xbox 360 storage device explorer. I was fortunate in that the second key I tried was compatible (the first got toasted). To totally unlock this section you need to Log-in Login. The key will then be reformatted by the system into the FATX format.Īddendum: It's been pointed out to me by several readers who have attempted this that not all USB keys will work. If all has gone well the XBOX will recognize the key as a memory card and state that there is an error. These tools are still a work in progress These tools were written under a Python 2.7.16 environment. Either way you'll need to go back and repeat Steps 2-4 after restripping the wires. These are set of data recovery tools for the Xbox Original and Xbox 360 consoles. If the former is the case, you've probably toasted your USB key. If not, you've either wired the cables incorrectly or haven't established a good enough electrical connection with the soldering. If you've joined the wires correctly the USB key should light up be recognized by the system.

Plug an empty USB key (preferably a small, cheap one you don't care about) into end of the cable you made.

Plug a controller and the cable into two controller ports on the XBOX.
