It pains me to even post this here but apparently the xbox is "retro" now. oh boy.
Anyway - my problem. I thought for sure that OG xbox games would work on a 360s, as long as they were on the backward compatible list. well, my luck, none of the ones i got work and they're all on the list. I tried updating the 360 from a flash drive, it won't detect the update. I can't find a menu option to update. I would rather not connect it to my internet to update either if possible.
I tried reformatting the flash drive on the xbox itself then moving the update folder to it, that didn't work, neither did formatting on the pc first either. I cleared the cache of the xbox hard drive (it has an official M$ 250GB drive).
It is not modded in any way.
Anyone have a fix for the manual usb update? This is a glossy xbox 360 Slim, for reference.
Update: literally the only way it would work was by creating a stupid xbox live account and logging in so it would download the update. the 7 mb update i also tried burning onto disc and flash drive, wouldn't take either one. Going to really suck when all those servers shut down. Thanks for your help yall
And you started the .zip file directly onto the root of a fat 32 formatted flash drive?
Sure did, multiple times and different flash drives
I just looked, and maybe I do have the newest update? My dash is 2.0.17559.0 . I am not sure if the dashboard version matters...i just dont get how it can even read the disc name and know the game but not launch
Coming from someone who struggled to update my cars infotainment system. exFAT is not the same as FAT32 lmao.
Haha all good, its fat32. I think it may be the hdd In The Xbox needing partition 2 for the emulator.
