XBOX HDD ready (#-I) [20141023]

This is a collection of Xbox games pre-extracted to play off of a hard drive on either a modded Xbox or Jtagged/RGH 360. Every .iso has been ran through exiso or Dvd2Xbox, been removed of all media checks, removed of Xbox Live updater files, tested until the first playable screen and then batch compressed with Torrent7z. Games that had other barriers, such as the Xbox Live check in Phantasy Star Online, DRM in Fight Club, and even things like the censored executions in The Punisher were patched to have these removed. This is the definitive collection of games for anyone who has a modded Xbox.

Filename tags:

[!] Verified (Running the game from the F or G drive, getting past all menu/title screens and entering the first level/mode with character control.)

[F] The game has hard coded files pointing to the dvd drive; these have been changed to the f drive. (Meaning this game must be placed on the f drive.)

[E] The game was never released in English, but has been English patched.

[PAL] The game only outputs in PAL 50hz. It works, but you need a PAL capable television or monitor.

[ISO] For whatever reason the game is not compatible running from the harddrive. (The game must be burnt and ran from the dvd-rom; use imgburn.)

Tools needed:

An FTP client to transfer games to an Xbox over the network. I prefer Filezilla.

Qwix to create .iso files to burn to CD or DVD and Imgburn to actually burn them. Keep in mind that most Xboxes have trouble reading CD-R discs so even if the game can fit on a CD-R you're better off using a DVD.

I prefer XBMC as a dashboard, and that is what the set was launched from to test. I can't guarantee other dashboards working.

To play on a modded Xbox 360, you will need the hacked backwards compatibility files. I'm not sure if I can link to those here, so do a search on wherever you procure your 360 warez.

Notes:

• There are 1132 extracted discs in this set, including standalone demos along with the OXM discs.

• I based the set off of NTSC releases and then PAL if I absolutely could not find an NTSC copy.

• PAL exclusive discs are included.

• The only Japanese language games are the ones that were exclusively released in Japan. If an English patch was available it was installed before repacking, notably Metal Wolf Chaos and Rent A Hero No. 1.

• Every scene game or PAL video mode game that needed a .ppf patch or fixed default.xbe was fixed before repacking. Even then not all games worked so [name redacted] and I went through and individually fixed ones that didn't on a case by case basis.

• A very small number of games cannot be played off of the hard drive due to long filenames and the FATX filename length restriction. These games were still ran through our patching and testing process, but then they were converted back into xiso format so they can easily be burned and played from disc.

• On disc demos in retail games have been removed to save space. Most were included in ODM Demo Discs anyway and including them in other games would be redundant.

• We changed the titles inside many game's .xbe executables because for some reason the developers formatted them strangly; like in all uppercase or don't include the full title. We cleaned all of these up so they look all nice and neat inside XBMC or whatever dash is your jam.

• A few of the games listed were never commercially released, and a few are prerelease BETAs and should be marked as such.

• [name redacted] and I tested every single retail game to verify that they booted successfully and got to the first playable section.

• This set was put together as a personal project aiming for usability, so it isn't as neat as the Redump or TOSEC sets, and doesn't preserve archival standards of disc preservation. XBOX HDD ready (#-I) [20141023]

Subject: BAD DUMPS **AVOID**

Don't touch these sets. They have BAD dumps and not all games will work. It is a result of poor FTP transfers from person(s) xbox.

I have been redoing the broken ones by extracting the REDUMP clean iso's and replacing the files, etc.

The reviews have been edited to remove comments about broken games like Burnout 3, Artic Thunder, Midnight Club 3 Remix.

Subject: games that worked

Blinx 1: works fine, already have 8+ hours no issues

Dino crisis 3: works fine no issues, already put 5+ hours

Burnout 3: infinite loading when game starts, bad file?

50 cent bulletproof: works fine, put 3+ hours so far

Subject: The Games i have tested so far.

1. Tony hawk's underground 2 works fine.
2. 007 NightFire crashes during the loading screen. (tried with ISO disc AND HDD).

3. Gtavicecity works fine.

4. True Crime new york city crashes when the first mission officially starts. (Tried with HDD Load)

Conclusion: You have to test these files out yourself and find out which ones do work and which ones don't. If none of them i listed above work for you. Then the problem might be with your xbox or the way you convert files or burn the discs. Find actual reliable tutorials that help you out.

Subject: Halo 2 No menu text

Halo 2 is missing all text from the main menu and all dialogs

EDIT: it's fine actually, this problem is a result of transferring in ASCII mode rather than binary mode.

Subject: corrupt files.

a bunch of these archives have corrupt files....i haven't extracted all of them yet, but there are definitely more than a few that are corrupt...I downloaded ALL of the Xbox HDD ready torrents from here via the torrents provided.
this one, J-Q and R-Z

Subject: File naming problems on the zipped archives

I can't yet speak for the contents of this distribution, but I can tell you that the .7z file names are all messed up and non-uniformly titled. In the Sha256.txt file, they are properly named, but what was actually distributed is way different.

Interestingly, the archive.org title metadata field is correct for each entry, so you are going to have to run a mass file renaming operation to even properly hash verify in Sha256 format, as the author apparently intended. You can however scrape the .xml file and hash verify through archive.org's method, if you can't be bothered to do renamings.

Subject: Brute Force

Copying over the whole folder to my xbox console using evo X mod it loads up bottom left hand side of screen is loading logo, it seems like it loads you hear the harddrive loading but then the logo screen freezes and doesn't load anymore anything else, rending the game not even playable. My guess it could be due to its expecting to load a movie off the dvd drive the intro one and since its not there it freezes but this is just a guess. Hope this helps to fix it if possible?

Subject: Problems With Doom 3 and Fight Night 2

Arx Fatalis: Will have the "Disc Error" if you do not skip the intro logos. Otherwise, plays fine.
Doom 3: Corrupted graphics, unplayable.
Fight Night Round 2: No menu music

Solution: Used the redump ISOs and extracted them to Xbox HDD. I know you can just fill in the needed files to these but I have no time to figure them out.

Reviewer: BimboBoop - - July 19, 2019
Subject: Games I founded with problems until now, even if they are verified [!]

BRUTE FORCE (You can enter the menus, once you reach new campaign, the message "Dirty Disk..." will appear.
GUNVALKYRIE (The game will load with corrupted graphics screen and will never pass over that)
FIGHT CLUB (The game loads but sooner or later, you will find a message stating it should run from a disc, not from HDD. Also in game all characters will beat you with 1 hit KO)
BARBARIAN (The game doesnt load, just a black screen, I am using the offcial component cable)
CONAN (The game doesnt load, just a black screen, I am using the offcial component cable)
BLOOD WAKE (You can enter the menus, once you are about to begin ane game, the message "Dirty Disk..." will appear, and will never pass over that)

Subject: Confused at 7z

Hey there,
Does anyone else have problems extracting the 7z archive?
I keep getting "data error" for a lot of games during extraction. Those files aren't extracted and makes the games unplayable?
Thanks!

-- Never mind, redownloading solved the issue

Subject: Locked work around

For those seeing the files as locked, there is a work around. Add the game filename to the end of this hyperlink: https://archive.org/download/XBOX_HDD_READY/

e.g. https://archive.org/download/XBOX_HDD_READY/007-FromRussiaWithLove.7z

It can be tedious to do individually but you can at least get ones you need or just get the torrent file and download that way.

Why are some files locked, saying "Files marked with a lock are not available for download"?

That's never happened before, but now 75% of this archive is locked somehow.
