This guide will walk you through managing your Xbox / Xbox 360 game saves. Saves are stored on a per-profile per-game basis, and require resigning to work on other profiles.

Xbox 360 Saves

  1. Connect your Xbox 360's hard drive or USB storage that contains your desired save files to your PC.
    • If it's a hard drive for an original Xbox 360 and you don't have a transfer cable, you can also take it out of the enclosure and connect directly to its SATA interface.
  2. This step varies depending on the storage type you're using.
    • If you are directly accessing the console's hard drive on the PC, Open Xplorer360 navigate into Partition 3 > Content. This folder contains a folder for each profile on the system, and a public directory 0000000000000000 (example structure here). Open your profile, and a folder for each game will be inside. Right click the desired game, and select "Extract..." if you wish to copy the save to your PC, or right click the blank field and select "Insert Folder" and insert your game save folder. It should be something like 373407DB.
    • If you are using save files on standard FAT32 USB storage and the console is on kernel 2.0.17349.0 or later, you can just open the drive on your computer's native file explorer and go into the same 0000000000000000 directory. Access your profile folder and all of your game saves will be displayed here.

Injecting Original Xbox Saves (Xplorer360)

Keep in mind that some saves are EEPROM locked and therefore you cannot use them on an Xbox 360 without patching the game executable to bypass the signature check. See this page for more details.

  1. Connect your Xbox 360's internal hard drive to your PC.
    • If it's a hard drive for an original Xbox 360 and you don't have a transfer cable, you can also take it out of the enclosure and connect directly to its SATA interface.
  2. Open Xplorer360, select Drive > "Open hard drive or memcard...", and expand Partition 3 > Compatability > Xbox 1 > UDATA.
  3. Right click the empty field and select "Insert Folder" and choose your original Xbox game save folder. It should be something like 5655002A.
