How to Transfer ROMs to a Modded Xbox

A ROM file is a digital copy of the read-only memory from another source, usually used to refer to copies of the memory of video game cartridges. In essence, a ROM is a copy of a video game. By putting ROMs on your Xbox, you are able to play the game without having the game disc. Transferring ROMs to an Xbox requires an FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, to transfer the files over the Internet from your computer to the Xbox console.

Things You'll Need

Wireless Internet router
Ethernet cord
Flash FXP

Instructions

- 1
  Connect the Ethernet cord to the Xbox console. Turn on the Xbox.

  Open "Settings" from the dashboard menu by selecting "Settings" and pressing "X." Scroll down to "Connection" and turn the "Static Connection" to "Off." Click "Save" at the bottom of the screen.

  Restart the console and navigate back to the settings menu. Scroll down to "DHCP"; it will now be enabled and showing an IP address for the Xbox.
- 4
  Start Flash FXP on your computer.
- 5
  Click on the lighting bolt symbol that is on the top bar near the middle. This will cause a window to pop up that asks for Internet connection information.

  Input the Xbox's IP address where Flash FXP says "Server or URL." Input your password and username if you have set a custom username and password. If you are still using the default settings, the username and password will both be "Xbox."

  Click the "Connect" button at the bottom of the window. After a few seconds it will tell you that you are connected. There will be a split screen with your computer files on the left and your Xbox files on the right. Click and drag any ROM files from your computer that you want to the Xbox.
