I'm curious if anyone has messed with their X360 for information extraction from the HDD via maybe a closed network or simple usb transfer. I know that you can extract inidividual file information from the X360 via the USB port as I have seen it used to fix glitched quests in Borderlands for example (Save file to Flash Drive, Open in Xplorer, Edit in 3rd Party Software, Save to Flash, Re-Import to X360). So, this has me thinking that we might be able to simply interface with the X360 and pull the raw replay saves and image saves (possibly even CAP, but that might be a nasty variable if you consider file insertion) from the HDD and then work with them on your PC basically in the same way we do after pulling them off skate.reel for example.
If I had a development kit this would be so much easier, but a cap card is cheaper than that.
I had this idea because it could be a more cost efficient alternative to the cap card. I'm going to have to read up more on how a PC can interface with the X360 so this might have potential, but also do it in a way that won't bork our saves or cause us to the banned from Xbox Live. Banning is not very likely since you are not directly manipulating the file for competitive gain which is MS's rule. Very interested in peoples ideas on this or experiences.
Would love for X360 to have youtube upload like PS3 has (if it still works).
***Just remembered that my friend has a transfer cable for when we upgraded his 120gb HDD to 250gb HDD that I can snag from him sometime this week.
If that cable doesn't work, then I an sure Hong Kong has some cables that will.
Maybe it along with Xplorer360 or something similar might be possible. Will have to check this out.
