[Jtag/RGH/Rjtag/Devkit] Play WATCH_DOGS without installing
System: Xbox 360
Description
root@kali: #WATCH_DOGS - Play without install...#
Want to be a 1337 Haxor but don't want to learn it, play WATCH_DOGS. Want to reduce the space required?, use this tut...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A simple and quick explanation that explains how to play WATCH_DOGS without installing it. Useful for people like me who use an old console and may only have 60GB (or less) HDD1's and don't want to use it's space on installations.
* This tutorial will basically work for most games that use a similar installation system. For example Farcry 4 requires this and can't be installed normally with a modded console. (To my knowledge it can't be installed normally anyway)
You will need:
- A modded console (as title suggests)
- Disc one and disc two of WATCH_DOGS (or the ISO's)
- Xex menu (or any xex manager equivalent that allows moving/ deleting root files)
- FSD REV 775 (Latest version: http://adf.ly/zmHhX)
* I do not condone piracy I will explain from the point of view of you having the discs, however as long as you have both discs in an extracted format, it will work.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step one: Extracting the discs. (if done go to "Step two")
- Create an area where you want to install disc one and disc two (using xex menu, xbox neighborhood or any other tool that allows you to create files)
<e.g. USB1/Games (extracted)/WATCH_DOGS/DVD1 (Installation)/[Here]> or anywhere else
(do this for both discs)
- Launch FSD REV775 and put WATCH_DOGS DVD1 into the disc tray (Install disc)
- Go to the "DVD Extract" option under "Utilities" and extract the install disc to the location you created earlier. (Do the same for the "Play disc", DVD2)
*Include $SystemUpdate (Tick the box before extracting)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step two: Moving the install files.
- Launch Xex menu (or any equivalent xex manager)
- Go to the location of the installation disc (DVD1)
- Copy the contents of the first installation folder in the disc one location to the root location of the disc two. (So for me I copy from <USB1/Games (Extracted)/WATCH_DOGS/DVD1 (Installation)/ Worlds [Copy this]> and copy to <USB1/Games (Extracted)/WATCH_DOGS/DVD2/[Copy here]>
- Copy all of the contents of the second installation folder in DVD1 to the root location of the "Play disc", DVD2 (Do the same for the second installation folder)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step three: Renaming, deleting, backing-up and creating a path.
- (Optional but advised) Back-up the "default.xex" and the "game.xex" files anywhere you want (in the "Play disc" (DVD2).
- Delete DVD1 (the "Installation" disc)
* If you are worried you have made a mistake you can hold off on that for now.
- Delete the "default.xex" file
- Rename the "game.xex" file to "default.xex"
* You can directly play from clicking the "default.xex" file if you wish.
(You probably already know the following but hey-ho...)
- Launch FSD REV775
- Go to <Setting/content/manage game paths> under the "Setup" tab.
- Create a game path leading to the location of the "Play disc" (DVD2)
- Select the correct settings:
/ For me the scan depth is 5 because I have 5 folders to go through to reach the disc 2 root location.
/ It is an Xbox 360 game. (Obviously)
/ Click "X" to save those settings.
- Go to the games section in FSD and play!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE:
If you do delete the first "default.xex" and rename "game.xex" to "default.xex" and wish to play on a TU or with DLC then you may get compatibility errors. The media ID's won't match and therefor a message displaying something like "This game has been updated to an incompatible version".
1) If you wish to play with a TU and DLC then you must add the relevant DLC as normal along with the relevant TU. Then (hopefully you have back-ups) replace the "default.xex" with the original and add the "game.xex". (have to launch from game.xex)
2) If you wish to play with DLC and a later TU but want to play in GOD format then you have to keep the renamed "default.xex" that you made earlier and patch it first.
Forum conversation: http://adf.ly/10B9D (with regards to GOD users)
Unfortunately unless your willing to go through the effort of patching the "default.xex" as talked about in the link above then you also won't be able to link it in FSD and therefor will probably have to delete WATCH_DOGS game path in FSD.

I know this is simple but I didn't find another on S7 and if you didn't understand what I was saying then here are some other tutorials that I found after I wrote this:

This is for people with little to no HDD1 space and a large external USB HDD or just someone who wants to preserve space.
