How to extract / dump title updates (patches) to and from a 360 USB memory stick
Description
Dump a title update to the USB memory stick
First you need a USB memory stick that has been formatted by the Xbox 360, if you have a USB stick connect it to the Xbox 360 and go to Memory in system settings and format the drive for use in the Xbox 360.
If you do not have it download the Xbox 360 USB Storage Explorer (Xtaf)
Now load USB Xtaf and select File > Open Drive
Then select Cache Partition > Cache
If you right click you can select the Inject button to inject a downloaded title update in to the USB memory stick.
The title update will now be injected, aslong as the USB memory stick is in your Xbox 360 the game will now use the title update if no hard drive is connected to the console.
Extract a title update to the USB memory stick
This is exactly the same as above, however instead of injecting a title update you want to select a title update from the cache folder, right click and select extract.
Checking you have extracted the correct file
This is the annoying bit now, as you will notice the folder is full of temp files and title updates, if you are wanting to extract a title update there is no easy way to find out which update is which.
My suggestion would be to dump the everything in Cache folder to your PC then delete it from your Xbox 360, go on Xbox Live, Play the game you want the title update for and let it download.
You should only have the title update for that game in the Cache folder, you can then dump it to the desktop. After you can add the contents of your cache folder back to your hard drive if you wish.
To check you have the correct update Download 360 Tool.
You might need to copy the COMDLG32.OCX from the 360 Tool folder to your Windows\System32 folder then right click on the .exe and run it as an administrator to get it to work correctly. That’s the only way I could get the tool to work correctly on Windows 7 64bit.
You can then open the title update and see information about the title update you extracted as seen in the screenshot below.
Hopefully you extracted the update you wanted!
If you have downloaded a Title Update from Digiex or found this guide useful please consider sharing your title updates with us.
Unlike Demos it is not easy for the few uploaders here at Digiex to get title updates as it requires the person to own the game… lets be honest we don’t all have 100’s of Xbox 360 games!
With demos anyone can download them from the market place, which makes getting the demos people want a lot easier than title updates.
