I have looked throught the forums and have not been able to find an answer to this question. Is there a way to play backup images stored on a pc's hard drive on a moded xbox with out copying the images directly to the xbox? I know it is possible to watch videos from a pc's drive but i am not sure about games. Thanks D
yeah you can get a xbox emulator, make sure your files are not in iso form but in file form http://www.xboxscene.net/tools/tools.php?page=emulators download the emulator there
Thank you for the response but I dont think you understood what I ment. I want to store the image files on a pc and play them on the moded xbox over a network connection. I dont want to play the games on the pc.
umm good q but why would you want to? just curious actually when you install a game on your xbox, it isnt an "image" as such, but the actual files themselves that get installed ie it doesnt save it as an iso etc. But you give a good question, I might have to try it just to see if it can be done I believe you can with movies, using media player/centre and routing out your connection to your pc, But not so sure about games. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]PC SPEC: XP 3000+ (overclocked) asus 2x fsb 400, 768mb ddr 2700, ati pro 128mb, pioneer a106 w/ hacked firmware XBOX SPEC: ver.1.2 with Xecuter 2.3-4983 bios,80gb hdd,Samsung sdg605,evox,xbmc,xbmp,dvdxr,xprogear, mame0x w/ 1,500 roms, kawax w/ 100 roms[/small]
I know it is possible with movies. I want to try this because I have a very large (120GB) drive in my pc so i can store many games there, however i am too impatient to wait for them to copy to the xbox. I didnt know that xbox games got "installed", I thought they just ran from the disc.
I would love to do this as well, my comps HD is only 20 gigs but I can fit way more games on that then on my stock XBOX HD.
regarding installed, I mean if you put a xbox game onto your hdd, its not an image, but the files that go on it, the iso image is basically a disc image, once its installed, its just the same as the files you see when you ftp etc, thats how exploits, hacks , patches etc can be done with games loaded to your xbox hdd. Im gonna look into this though cos it does sound like a good idea (playing games from your pc via ftp)
