Alternate Method for Preparation of USB Memory Stick

From Xbox-Linux

[edit]

Symptom

  • Your XBOX detects the USB memory stick you prepared, but you cannot see the Savegames.
  • There is not MechInstaller Image matching your USB memory stick size.
[edit]

Solution

The basic idea is to put the necessary files into the FATX filesystem prepared by the XBOX.

  • Prepare a Xebian Live CD
  • Boot your PC from the Xebian Live CD, use the supplied 2.4 Kernel by entering "24" at the boot prompt (Xebian will default to a 2.6 Kernel when booted on a PC)
  • Get the MechInstaller Image
  • Loop-mount one of the Images (after create a directory if necessary): 
mkdir image
mount -t fatx -o loop MechInstaller-1.0-FATX-256MB.img image
  • Now have the XBOX format your USB stick
  • Connect the USB stick to the PC
  • Mount the USB stick (after creating a directory if necessary): 
mkdir usbstick
mount -t fatx /dev/sda usbstick
  • Copy the Savegames from the image to the stick: 
cp -r image/* usbstick/
  • Unmount the image and the stick 
umount image
umount usbstick

Your USB memory stick should now contain the Savegames.
