# Dumping
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> The following guide is for dumping the game from an Xbox 360 hard drive.
|
|
>
|
|
> If you wish to use a USB storage device, use [this guide](DUMPING-USB-en.md) instead.
|
|
|
|
### Pre-requisites
|
|
- Xbox 360 (modifications not necessary)
|
|
- Xbox 360 Hard Drive (20 GB minimum)
|
|
- Xbox 360 Hard Drive Transfer Cable (or a compatible SATA to USB adapter)
|
|
- Sonic Unleashed for Xbox 360 (US or EU, **JP is not supported**)
|
|
- Retail Disc or Digital Copy (can be purchased and downloaded from the [Xbox Store](https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/sonic-unleashed/c098fgnmts8f)).
|
|
- Title Update required.
|
|
- All available DLC (Adventure Packs) are optional, but **highly recommended**. **The DLC includes high quality lighting for the entire game**.
|
|
- [7-Zip](https://7-zip.org/download.html) (for extracting Velocity)
|
|
- [Velocity](https://github.com/Gualdimar/Velocity/releases/download/xex%2Biso-branch/Velocity-XEXISO.rar) (Gualdimar's fork)
|
|
|
|
> [!TIP]
|
|
> If you do not have the Xbox 360 Hard Drive Transfer Cable, please ensure that you purchase the correct revision of it for your console.
|
|
>
|
|
> The latest revision works with both original Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 S|E hard drives, but the first revision only works with original Xbox 360 hard drives.
|
|
>
|
|
> To know which is which, the first revision cable is gray, whereas the latest revision (which supports any Xbox 360 hard drive) is black.
|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> If you have a digital copy of Sonic Unleashed, skip to step 4.
|
|
|
|
1. Insert your retail disc copy of Sonic Unleashed into the Xbox 360 disc tray.
|
|
2. At the Xbox Dashboard, go over to the disc tile under the **home** tab and press X to view **Game Details**.
|
|
3. Under the **overview** tab, select the **Install** tile and choose to install to the primary hard drive.
|
|
4. Once installed, turn off your Xbox 360 and remove the hard drive from your console.
|
|
|
|
> [!TIP]
|
|
> You may consult the following guides if you're unsure on how to do this:
|
|
> - [Xbox 360](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Xbox+360+Hard+Drive+Replacement/3326)
|
|
> - [Xbox 360 S](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Xbox+360+S+Hard+Drive+Replacement/3184)
|
|
> - [Xbox 360 E](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Xbox+360+E+Hard+Drive+Replacement/22179)
|
|
|
|
5. Using the Xbox 360 Hard Drive Transfer Cable (or compatible SATA to USB adapter), connect your Xbox 360 hard drive to your PC.
|
|
|
|
> [!CAUTION]
|
|
> If you're using an unofficial SATA to USB adapter, you may need to remove the hard drive from its enclosure in order to connect it.
|
|
>
|
|
> For original Xbox 360 hard drives, this process is as simple as [removing some screws and cracking open the enclosure](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Xbox+360+HDD+Replacement/3430).
|
|
>
|
|
> For Xbox 360 S|E hard drives, this enclosure is glued shut and removing the hard drive may be an irreversible process!
|
|
>
|
|
> **It is highly recommended** that you obtain the official Xbox 360 Hard Drive Transfer Cable in order to proceed.
|
|
|
|
6. Download [the latest release of Velocity](https://github.com/Gualdimar/Velocity/releases/download/xex%2Biso-branch/Velocity-XEXISO.rar) and open the `*.rar` file using [7-Zip](https://7-zip.org/download.html), then extract its contents anywhere that's convenient to you.
|
|
7. Create a new folder anywhere that's convenient to you for storing the game files.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> If you're using Linux, skip to step 9.
|
|
|
|
8. Right-click `Velocity.exe` and click **Properties**, then under the **Compatibility** tab, tick **Run this program as an administrator** and click **OK**. This is required in order for the program to recognize the hard drive. You can now launch `Velocity.exe`.
|
|
9. You should see a **Device Detected** message appear on launch asking if you would like to open the **Device Content Viewer**. Click **Yes**.
|
|
10. You should now see a tree view of your hard drive's contents. Expand the tree nodes for `/Shared Items/Games/` (and optionally `/Shared Items/DLC/`, if you have the DLC installed).
|
|
11. Hold the CTRL key and click on **SONIC UNLEASHED** under the `Games` node, as well as the **Adventure Pack(s)** under the `DLC` node, if you have the DLC installed. Ensure all are selected before the next step.
|
|
12. Right-click any of the selected items and click **Copy Selected to Local Disk**, then navigate to the folder you created in step 7 and select it. Velocity will now begin copying the game files to your PC.
|
|
13. Once the transfer is complete, close the **Device Content Viewer** window and navigate to **Tools > Device Tools > Raw Device Viewer**.
|
|
14. Navigate to `/Content/Cache/` and click the **Name** column to sort by name. Look for a file that begins with `TU_19KA20I`, this is the title update which is required for installation.
|
|
|
|
> [!TIP]
|
|
> If you wish to verify that the contents of this file are correct, you may double-click on it to open it in **Package Viewer** and confirm that `default.xexp` exists inside, along with a folder called `work`.
|
|
>
|
|
> Once you've verified it, close the **Package Viewer** window and proceed to the next step.
|
|
|
|
15. Right-click on the file that begins with `TU_19KA20I` and click **Copy Selected to Local Disk**, then navigate to the folder you created in step 7 and select it. Velocity will now begin copying the title update to your PC.
|
|
16. Once the transfer is complete, you should now have all of the necessary files for installation. [Return to the readme and proceed to the next step](/README.md#how-to-install). |
