XBCD - XBox Controller Driver Forum

I don't think it would be too hard to make a driver for this.

The problem is that I don't own an XBox and because of this I don't need a memory card but I might go out and get one not too long from now just to see if I can get a driver working with it.

Right now I'm just concentrating on adding Rumble support to the driver.

Just download the Xbox Action-Replay memory card utility. Works just fine.

ActionReplayXbox_1_20_US.exe

If anyone is interested in testing a driver for the XBox memory card, download it here http://phaseone.sytes.net/xbmem.html.

It's a Windows 98 driver for USB Flash Drives. This driver doesn't check the USB Device SubClass to see if it's 6 and the SubClass is the only thing that is different in the XBox Memory Card from a regular USB Flash Drive.

The reason I can't test it with a real XBox Memory Card is because I don't own one.

Please post your results with the driver.

Happy New Year!!!

I may be missing something here, but what use would the memory card be when you have the controller hooked into your computer?

I'm sure that saved games for a PC game are quite different from that of XBox games, and if you just want to transfer something between computers, email is much faster and cheaper.

Is there something I'm missing?

I really don't see the need to use the memory card as a storage device for PC files, but people have asked for drivers to do just that.

I can understand if someone owns an XBox and a memory card, they might want to use the memory card on a PC. But there's no way I would recommend anyone to buy a memory card just for this, for about the same price you can buy a real USB Flash Drive with 128MB of memory.

You can try adding the vendor ID and product ID of the memory card to the .inf file of the driver. Get the vendor and product ID of the memory card by using USBView.

Hi everyone,

I started writing an XBox memory card driver a couple of weeks ago and now it's finished. It will only work on Windows 2000/XP and probably Windows ME too but I haven't tried.

Since the memory card uses the FATX file system, which Windows doesn't understand, Windows will ask if you want to format the memory card. Before formatting the drive, you can backup the memory card by using DiskExplorer from Runtime Software and save it to an image file.

By using DiskExplorer, you could also write the MechInstaller image to the memory card.

I might work on a program to manipulate the contents of the memory card while it's formatted with FATX.

If you reformat the memory card, you would only be able to store PC files on it. I began working on an utility which will let you modify files on the memory card while it's still formatted with FATX but I haven't had enough time to do any real work on it.

Just wondering if you had made any progress on that program.

Here's an early version of the program for anyone who wants to try it out. You'll need to have the Xbox memory driver installed for this to work.

Xbox Memory Browser

I have to give you a WARNING though. It is possible that the program will corrupt any saved games you have on the memory card, so if you really don't want to risk losing that data then back it up before trying this program out.

UPDATE:
You can right-click on the files and extract, rename, or delete them. If you right-click on an empty space, you can add new files and make new folders.

Don't put any more than 255 objects directly inside any folder; if you need to have more than 255 files/folders inside a folder, divide them into subfolders.

It is a good start. It lets me see the contents of the card just fine. I can not wait to see more progress made on it.

Wow! It is working REALLY well. I have used it a bit and it works. I have not had any problems yet. It does need to be a little more user friendly. Like being able to copy folders. It is a pain to recreate them on the computer side and on the memory card. Drag and drop would be a plus, and manipulating the files in the left window pain would be nice ( like moving folders into other folders ) I am sure you are working on that though. Your amazing work never ceases to amaze me. You are really awesome.

Keep up the good work.

Has anyone found a memory unit driver that works with Windows 98 SE? Any info on where to find would be great.

Ok, I have been using this tool for a while now and I have only ran into one problem. It does not write empty files (zero byte files) It errors out saying there is not enough room to write the file. (the program does not crash it just pops up the normal no room message)

Thanks for that. I'll add it to the list of things to do/fix.

When are you expecting the next version of it to be released? I will be happy to help you with testing it further.

I really don't know. I haven't had much time to program lately because of some class projects that I've been having to work on. But with Spring break coming soon, I hope that I'll be able to catch up on some of these programs.

Wow, this memory card stuff is pretty cool, but I like the idea someone said earlier, about being able to use the xbox headset. At least just the microphone part.
