To list what media content you have stored on
your hard drive (Arcade Demos, Themes,
Gamerpics and Videos), click on the ‘plus’ icon
next to the ‘Content’ folder (all 000s).
Because all files and folders on the Xbox 360 hard drive use an 8 or 16 character hexadecimal filename,
individual files can be difficult to identify. To help you identify specific files, try opening a file’s folder and
clicking on the file inside to see its file size.
To list what gamesaves you have in a particular
profile, click the ‘plus’ icon next to a profile’s
folder. When the folder opens, each sub folder
(which has an 8 character name such as
‘545407D4’) is a folder for a specific game. The
actual game save for that game is within another
sub-folder.
Another folder of interest to gamers who play Xbox 1 games on their Xbox 360 is the
compatibility
folder. This
is where Microsoft stores the drivers, patches and other files relating to Xbox 1 emulation. Most interestingly,
this is also where gamesaves for Xbox 1 games are stored; see the ‘Transferring Xbox 1 Gamesaves’ tutorial for
more info.
