FAQ AND VIDEO DESCRIPTION
_________________________

WARNING: WHEN PLAYING FABLE 2, THIS CAN CORRUPT THE GAME SAVE. THE SAME GOES FOR SOME OF THE OBLIVION EXPANSIONS AS THEY ACTUALLY CONTAIN THE UPDATE AS PART OF THE INSTALLATION.


The code:

X,X,LB,RB,X,X


A tutorial I made showing how you can remove the game updates from your Xbox 360 so that you can do glitches such as the 'Duplication glitc' amongst others on Oblivion. Music is 'Chase Of Highway' FF:AC OST by Nobuo Uematsu

Enjoy!

....-----QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS-----....

Q) Does this erase game saves, game data, user accounts or the like?
A) NO! This erases the cache, a small supply of memory seperate from the game saves. This removes only the updates and does not touch the game accounts or the like.

Q)Can I get the updates back later?
A)Yes. Everytime you boot up the game you will be prompted to either install the updates or to not install them.

-------------------------------

Q) Does this erase downloaded content such as map-packs?
A) NO. This does not affect those downloads. If the download, such as Shivering Isles, contains the update in the download and you remove the update then problems can occur. However, this does not touch your downloaded content in any way.

-------------------------------

Q)Why can't I connect to Xbox Live when the updates are removed?
A)The updates either make the gameplay fairer or repair bugs in the system. You must install the updates for the game you are on to go online.

Q)Does this update remove only one update?
A)It removes ALL the game updates for every game on your console.

Q)Can I install an update for only certain games?
A)Yes. You get prompted to install the updates for the game you are currently playing. This allows you to do certain glitches on one game, and go online or play the patched version on others.

Q)Will it stay like this forever?
A)No. The updates can be removed and added asmuch as you want.

Q)Where did you find this 'code'?
A)I googled and went on the Xbox website. I am one of many people who is bothered to do their own research.

Q)Is it a glitch?
A)No. A glitch is something that the developers didn't add into the software or hardware. This 'code' was added by Microsoft to clear the cache and updates.

Q)Will clearing the cache make the game load quicker or work better?
A)I would doubt it, but I havent seen any evidence either way. The cache is a store of data which can be loaded by the software quickly. When you browse images they are stored as temporary files (in your cache) and will load quicker in the future. So having a cache should help with speed. But, if your cache is full of data from lots of other games then it might not work aswell as having a cache full of data from one game. So if you clear the cache then play one game there would be a bit of a performance increase, though minimal.

  • Ok, I did this it worked and I got 3 mill in oblivion elven armour every single house in the game and a hourse but if I download the expansion for the game after it pathes the game will it take away the 3 mill I made?

  • @LOLstickvid It won't remove anything. Just think of it this way... It's as if you played the game before an update was released. If you bought the game and did all that on the release day, and then got the official update on the official release date, would it remove everyones hard efforts then? Your money, houses, etc, will be just fine. There's no reason why they would be affected, that's just saved game data.

  • If I do his will it erase my account and my saved games too? cause I have xbox live and microsoft points and I dont want to lose everything on my hard drive including that all i wanna do is erase patches so I can do elevators on mw2 and do the dorian trick on oblivion like I did on my other account for unlimited money.

  • @LOLstickvid. I wrote an FAQ and I told people to look there first. Please go and read it.

  • How do you get the old Dashboard Back ?

  • @Twhitt511 You don't. This is a SYSTEM update. It affects everything. It is built into the console and without a lot of modification, cannot be done. Really though, there is no reason to go back to the old dashboard.

  • i tried it on the new dashboard and it did not ask me if i wantet to or not, i wanna dupe items on oblivion

  • With the new dashboard, go to where you can choose to play games, listen to music, etc. Then go to system settings. From there choose memory, and put the code in X,X,LB,RB,X,X and your updates shall be gone.

  • @boryspanishkid First things first, this does NOT erase the hard drive. However, if you did erase the hardd rive (or, for that matter, change the hard drive for a different one) you can redownload anything you've bought for free. Once you buy something, it is activated for your account forever. You will not have to re-purchase anything if you delete it. You can erase addons if you run out of space then get them again later for free when you have the room for them once again on your hard drive.

  • i got a question ,i bought a game on xbox live and i download it to my hard drive if i erase the hardrive i lose the game or i cant download it agin???  srry for my english

  • @Combineartist FAQ... Please go read it.

  • machineman9 doing this would it get rid of all the DLC i have gotten?
