tedbundty Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Meaning can I copy games to my flash drive on my computer and then plug it into the xbox 360 and play the games (i.e. use flash drive instead of cd)? If you can link me to an article about this that would be great. ................................[Currently Have - 1300M].........................................................My Beginner's Merchanting Guide - My Youtube Channel - My Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf14141 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 My guess is no, because that means that the gaming companies would lose revenue. Finally on here to update that I have officially quit!

Guy Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I would assume no, seeing as you've copied it from a friend or something (I assume). RIP TET "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 The only reason you'd be doing this is to pirate. Even then, the hardware isn't able to emulate discs off of a flash drive. It just isn't fast enough, which is why it only works with the hard drive, because it's actually got a strong enough connection. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal. OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedbundty Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 The only reason you'd be doing this is to pirate. That's not true at all. It's more convenient to carry around a small flash drive than a bunch of discs, flash drives don't break or get scratched like cds and if the files get corrupted somehow do you can always recopy the files onto it. The main reason I want to do it is because my Battlefront 2 cd broke so I want to download it online (which is completely legal since I bought the game) and play it through my flash drive. ................................[Currently Have - 1300M].........................................................My Beginner's Merchanting Guide - My Youtube Channel - My Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinkbullet3 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 People, I suggest you all keep legal issues aside and just help him answer the question (I say this because I was tempted to bring up legal issues, but then I realized it wouldn't contribute to the topic in any way). Just a friendly reminder. ^ Blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 You can install games to flash drives and use them, but that'd be the only way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 You can install games to flash drives and use them, but that'd be the only way.And you'd still need the disc.

Mr_Adam Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Why not burn the game onto a DVD? Would that work? Or maybe figure out a way to actually download from the flash drive onto your Xbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 That wouldn't work either. There's some very specific encoding that is done with the xbox discs, and without that encoding, the discs will not work. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight.
