Do you already have the stick? Just plug it in. If xbox recognizes it, will try to format it. Once its formated, it will be ready for Action Repaly.

If you've got an XBOX-to-USB adapter (cheap online or splice and make your own), try it. What's the worst that can happen, it won't work and you'll have a memory stick to use for anything other than the xbox? _________________ XBOX V 1.0 (softmod)

This is close to my question but I need further education on this statement.
So here I am with this badass thumbdrive and I have an adaper plugged in to the controller port that converts it to USB. (THANKS XENIUM!!)
The xbox fomats the usb drive. But if put in my pc, it formats the drive again. Installed the gamesaves and so on following the tutorial nknave included in his Softmod Installer Deluxe 4. Put usb drive on Xbox, it formats the dang drive again. I'm homeworking here so bear with me, what step am I missing in getting the game saves from the computer over to the Xbox. It's a version 1.6 or I'd simply slam my extra Xenium Ice on it. Oh gawd.. Shark2th is trying to softmod. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

Try tricking the xbox by putting the gamesave on a xbox that wont format the memory card then takin a unmodified memory card and copy the exploits on to that one. _________________

Hmmm... very interesting theory.
Of course I have my ol' faithful V1.0 Xenium Ice box, perhaps it will help me mod this new one. Thanks for the tip.

I used a post from xbox-scene forums to help me setup a usb jumpdrive as a actionreplay memory card.. Can I post a link to it here?
In the same post it says ...

"Non xbox memory cards/storage devices DO NOT WORK WITH V1.6 XBOX'S!! I'm sorry, but the only way to transfer saves with a v1.6 is to make a USB male to xbox controller female adapter, plug an xbox controller into your computer, with an xbox memory card, and modify the AR drivers from there. I'll get more info later."....

Perhaps it would be best for me to bust out the $30 or so to simply get an Action Replay. I've never attempted a softmod nor did I think I'd have to tackle a V1.6. (shrug)
I'll most likely snag one on the way home from work tonight.
Thanks wolf31 for the info though. That helps. Be sure to share more in our forums as you can! You obviously have already done your homework. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

The AR driver need to be edited. The PC needs to be able to recognize the fatx device. In the AR directory there's an .ini file you can edit. Here's a good tut for it.

Ah ha! Cool, I'm gonna go sniff that while it's quiet here. Thanks DM.
HA! My wife knew that I was perplexed last night and I told her the tutorial that you had directed me to regarding how to get the USB to work.
Her response is:
