Re: [Xbox-linux-user] to find Mechassault MS02301L

[Alberto R. <al...@ro...>]

Thank you Darren,
I'm starting to take a look on xbox-scene tutorials and irc repository.
Until now I'm not be able to find the Windows tool to copy game saves
to USB pen (I think it could be Mega X Key software) but I can afford
the situation now (I hope) . Maybe the xbox-linux site is not up to
date. In xbox-scene there is many more documents and components.
