    ok fist before everyone asks me to try searching i did and all got was threads that was different than the situation i have or unanswered questions. i have the ftp program and i know how to ftp to the xbox. i know what folder the game goes in but i don't know how to get the game to work. i got the game in my pc. i zipped it and i got a bunch of rar files i unrared it and than extracted. i got a iso to the game and it looks like a rar file. from here i have no idea what to do. i have this game i want to play and i have no idea how to get it to work.

    all you do is open up nero and burn it with nero image burning, then put it in your box and let the xbox copy it.

    Oh, well once you get it to the xbox iso, you need a xbox iso extractor. winrar wont work because it thinks it a damaged iso. you need a xbox extracting program. go to http://www.xbox-scene.com and go to the tutorial section, your answer will be there.

    Im not too sure to be honest with you. are you connected through a crossover cable or through a hub/switch/router? I used to be connected through a crossover cable and it seemed to me that it was a little slower than through my router, but not much. I would check with xbox-scene, there is the guy named mr robinson there that has an awesome tutorial on networking the xbox. look it up.

    All these extra steps arn't necessary take the iso, load it on Qwix and then just ftp it, Qwix will unextract the iso by itself automatically

    i have used qwix and then ftp the game to the xbox and the game title shows in the games list but when i select the game to play the xbox screen goes blank and nothing happens, i am not sure if the files were damaged but i dont think so cuz it happens to all the different games that i have as iso. any ideas what i could be doing wrong, the reason i need to ftp games to xbox is that the dvd drive is broken.
    thanks for any help. :)

    i am not sure if you have figured it out yet but here is what you do download or get a xbox game however use qwix to load the ISO onto your xbox by using load iso and then hit ftp upload all

    iv only had one game load to a blank screen before but i got a different copy of it and it worked fine. so it was obviousely the game that was bad. it is either an uncomplete download or some files r currupted. if its neither of those than i dont know what is going wrong, u seem to be doing everything wright. try another game

    EVILZED, that is the most basic of basic question. wread the guides ^ and look on google youll figure it out. FTP(file transfer protocal) is use to transport files from 1 computer to another.(or xbox to computer);)
