Getting your Phantom Dust game save to your Xbox 360

Phreaker · Site Admin

AzelEdge has already done this and let me know that the Xport was on sale at BestBuy. I went down there today and got it for $20.00 (plus tax), it was listed at $29.99. Anyway, the Xport is a docing station for your 360 hard drive. Meaning you remove the removable HDD from your 360 and snap it into the Xport. The Xport connects to your PC via USB and allows you to copy data to and from your 360's hard drive.

The hardest part really would be to get your save off of your Xbox, because you need to modify it to do so. Phantom Dust does not allow you to copy your game save to a memory card, unlike most Xbox games. The easy way? Use one of the game saves already available, like the Pantera save. (located on this page)

I am going to do this now and I'll post screen caps and additional details. All in all, not too bad a price if you don't want to go through single player again and you want the Xbox Live rare skills. You can also use it for other backward compatible game saves and possibly more.

**UPDATE**

The device is pretty cool, it even comes with everything you need to copy and move data around from Xbox 360 memory cards, the Xbox 360 hard drive, and Xbox 1 memory cards. If you have other game saves on an original Xbox memory card that you'd like to move to your 360's hard drive this can do it. You can also use the game saves found on the internet at places like codejunkies.

First thing I did after installing the software from their CD and connecting the unit to my PC was to back up my 360's hard drive. Their manual was suprisingly good and very easy for me to understand. They even have a section specific to moving Xbox 1 saves from your PC (Pantera) to the 360.

Next I located the directory for the Phantom Dust saves/profiles. It is found in Partition 3 - Compatibility\Xbox1\UDATA\4d530046. I noticed there was already a profile listed under another directory name like 163628EA26193 (or whatever). All I had to do was unzip the Phantom Dust Pantera file to my desktop and noticed its file structure was identical. UDATA\4d530046\ only its save profile directory name was 16C019D05AED. I just dragged and dropped the 16C019D05AED folder to the Compatibility\Xbox1\UDATA\4d530046 directory on the 360, slapped the HDD back on the 360, booted up Phantom Dust and I saw Pantera as a profile option. Bam, everything unlocked with all the Xbox Live rares included. Took all of 30 seconds. It was quite easy. If you have any questions let me know.

phreaker this sounds great, so let me get this straight, if i get this xport, i can get pantera off the internets and that should be all i need? does this also mean the hours i spent on beating the single player AGAIN were in vain? eh thats fine, nice find.

well the $20 almost seems worth it, since i have 6k wins worth of online skills that im leaving behind, and it would be weird to be missing all those skills.

i can say im considering it.

i don't see it on bestbuy's website Grief

. I don't really need it anyway. I already had the pantera save on my modded xbox and change a value in the save file so i can copy it to a memery card. All I have to do now is get a regular xbox and get on live and transfer the skill to somebody and have them transfer it back to me on live.

I understand. I would rather have the self satisfaction of gaining those skills myself, but It doesn't mean much of anything anymore if everyone has access to every skill etc. But If everyone has every skill now, pride might only hinder my playing abilities. I will have to check this out and perhaps tomorrow I will pick up the device.

Early in the game's life I was concerned about this, but over two years later and it just doesn't mean as much. So many people "duped" using the Ante game glitch and then all the action replay saves came out. I can understand not wanting to go trough single player again. I myself already did that three times and wanted to hop right back online. I have read a number of posts elsewhere where people said they didn't think they could get back into this game if they had to play through single player again even thought they'd love to play it online. Hopefully this will show that person there is a fairly inexpensive way to do this.

It wasn't even all the rares that I wanted. I wanted all the maps, characters, arsenal cases, and the other 300 skills unlocked. In the end it's the Esper and not the skill's rareness that really decides things.
