Preventing hard drive and game corruption

Use the following steps to prevent your games and hard drive from becoming corrupted. At the Xbox 360 Dashboard, enter the “System” menu, and select the “Memory” option. Select your hard drive or memory card, then select the “Games” option. Go to the game that may be giving you trouble. Scroll through the game’s saved data. If you see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside it along with the word “Corrupted”, select it. Once it comes up, select “Delete”. You will be prompted with a “Are you sure you want to delete this file?” message. Press A to confirm. This should fix any problems you may have had with that game, and will also prevent data for other games from becoming corrupted.

Music in Xbox games

In backwards compatible games, music can be played. Before playing the game, while still on the Dashboard, go to “Music”. Select the music you want to play and put it on shuffle or continuous play. Then, load the Xbox game. Even though the guide cannot be opened, the music will still play. This works best with an iPod.

Custom background with PSP

Note: Your PSP must have photos on it. Plug your PSP into the USB ports on the bottom of the system. On the PSP, select the “USB Connection” option. On the Xbox 360, go to the “Media” slide and choose “Pictures”. Then, select the “Portable” option. Go into the PSP file and the photos file. Any photos on your PSP should appear here. Once you find the picture you want to be your background, press X. If done correctly, the background on all slides should appear to have the picture on it.

Use background from PC

If you have a Media Center PC, connect it to the Xbox 360. Then, go to the picture files on the computer using the Xbox 360. Any picture can be used as a background by pressing X.

Control Media Center PC applications

The Xbox 360 media center remote can be use to control Media Center PCs. While someone has an application such as Word, Notepad, or Explorer open, press Up, Down, Left, or Right on the remote. Whatever they are doing will either scroll or move in that direction.

Original Xbox game controls

When playing an original Xbox game, press LB instead of White and RB instead of Black.
