Xbox:Xbox Title Updates

General information about all known updates for Original Xbox games that could be downloaded from Xbox Live. A title update is a patch for a game that was downloaded from Xbox Live. They were served as either complete downloads of new files or differential patches, where the system would copy files from the game disc to the hard drive then patch those files with information downloaded in a package from Xbox Live. These game updates or Title Updates are often referred to as TUs.

These updates are disc specific. Different disc versions of the same game will require a different title update.

All title updates are stored on the E drive at: E:\TDATA\\$u\ where  is the 8 digit Hex titleID of a game. Only one title update per game can be installed at any time.

The region codes refer to the region flag in the primary XBE file for the game and update. They are as follows:

1 NA = North America

2 JA = Japan and South East Asia

3 NA, JA = North America, Japan and South East Asia

4 EU/AU = Europe, Australia, New Zealand

5 NA, EU/AU North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand

7 RF All Regions

The XBE Version denotes the revision of the update. Sometimes these do not increment sequentially. For example Halo 2 English update 4 is version 05 and update 5 is version 08.

The XBE version for an XBE on disc will always be 0.

The Disc Version denotes which version of the game the update belongs to. For example Halo 2 English is Disc version 03, Halo 2 French is Disc version 04.

Some of the headers have additional information in a tool tip if a mouse cursor is held over the text.
