Archive:USB Mass Storage support in XBMC for Xbox

On the 29th of September 2006 better support for USB Mass Storage devices was added to XBMC.
Simply insert a USB or memory-stick it will auto-mount and be available everywhere in XBMC.

NOTE! You need a USB to Xbox-gameport adapter to connect a USB device to your Xbox.

Supported file-systems

The following file-systems are supported on USB-devices:

• FATX
• FAT12 (read-only)
• FAT16 (read-only)
• FAT32 (read-only)
  
  

Limitations

The following are known limitations (if you are a programmer then help us overcome them):

• Maximum 4GB in 'device'/'drive' size (ie. the size of the whole flash-storage or harddrive).
• USB Mass Storage compatible harddrives or memory-sticks, not USB CD/DVD-ROM devices.
• The Xbox game-ports only support USB 1.1 speeds.
• Though not tested we assume only one storage-device at a time can be connected to a USB-hub.
• Though not tested we assume only one storage-device at a time can be connected to a Memory Card Reader.
