If you do need to back-up your Game Saves - Essential as far as I'm concerned - get the MAX Memory Unit (get the one with a button!) SEE the above Link. Nothing more needs to be said about the project I feel. Game Folder Identification (Just as a matter of Interest!)Īll Images Captured (With Cursor) using: SCREENCAPTURE by JRS Epilogue
įig.4 - Partition 1 - Game Content Folders Sensitive image ID Masking is provided by the usual programmers hex mask as "Deceased Cow" hmmm. Partition 1 holds the Content Folder, which in turn holds all the separate game and additional folders, as well as the name.txt file which holds the XTAF device name, this is paticularly useful when using a multi-slot device such as the Datel Unit, which allows easy identification of the particular save slot when backing-up saves to the PC. I am not going into any detail regarding the XTAF structure - which is well beyond the scope of this document - and community knowledge of XTAF is very well known and understood, and for any interested party, documentation is freely available from many sources such as the Free60 Project, as well as from several open-source implementations of XTAF, which should combine to help any interested party to venture forward with any development! I wrote the XTAF Device Explorer as an interested personal development project, and apart from proof testing, never - or very rarely - used it, and am more at home with an interfacing USB/Cartrige Adaptor using the Datel Max Cartridge System with a Micro-SD Memory Card, currently offering me 16 button selected indexed save slots - SEE my Article - HERE - and I personally find it a much easier and simpler save solution than any other option that I have currently tried!įig.1 - Opening/Selection Dialogs Partition 0 It is unsupported natively by Windows and is a derivative of the legacy FAT (File Allocation Table) File System that was introduced in MS-DOS, and could really be considered as an adjusted version of it! XTAF uses Big-Endian Byte order as opposed to the Little-Endian FAT, and many of the legacy configuration options of the FAT have been removed. XTAF sometimes referred to as FATX - which is probably a more apt name! - is the file system used by the Xbox 360, and is so named after its Little-Endian XTAF Magic Identifier in the Header.
