Do you think the next Xbox will be backwards compatible.

They will probably throw in a system link or something like that which you can buy if you want to transfer over saves. Microsoft almost certainly knows how to get around all of the guards idiotic developers put up.

you mean their own idiotic guards?

Some just CAN'T be copied and some are too big for the mem card. It's dumb.

yeah the ones that cant be copied are usually the online games, to prevent people from transferring the saves to their pc, hex editing them and then having an unfair advantage on live.

with a modded xbox you can use xboxsavesmanager to save your files to your pc. handy little tool since the saves are buried somewhere in the tdata or udata folders.

Problem is, I want to backup my Live downloads, etc. And if I want to keep playing on Live, I can't mod that Xbox... so I can't make backups. Blah.

they havnt found a way to be able to single out the live downloads unfortunately. a lot of people in the "burning" community wanted the hurricane pack for NG and couldnt get it.

Funny, I was able to get the Halo 2 1.1 patch over to my buddies' boxes just fine by grabbing the folder of /E/TDATA the patch created and ftping it to their boxes. Or did I misunderstand what you meant, DD?
