What you need

WinRar - Download here
Xtaf Xplorer - Download here
A 360 formatted USB pen drive
Latest version of Daymos' file - V2

The USB will need to be at least 1GB - any ones larger than 8GB tend to throw up problems.

Instructions

Firstly, you need to put a PES 2012 save file on your USB drive. The quickest way to do this is
My Xbox >>> System Settings >>> Memory >>> Hard Drive >>> Games >>> PES 2012 >>> Select any save in the folder and copy it to the USB drive.

Once saved, you can unplug the USB from the 360. Now plug it into your PC.

If you haven't got already got it, download and install WinRar and extract the option file. Go to the location where you saved the option file. Right click on it, choose 'Extract to [filename\]' and the option file will extract.

Launch Xtaf Xplorer.

Click File >>> Open first USB drive.

Two folders should appear in the left pane, like this:



Click Data Partition >>> Content >>> [your gamertag numbers here] >>> 4B4E0837



In the right pane you should see a folder called 0000001, right click on it and delete it.



Then right click in the same location and choose inject folder.



Find the option file you downloaded and click the 000001 folder.

Give it a second or two to import the data. To check it's imported correctly, click on the 000001 folder and you will see something like this



When that's done, click File >>> Close Current Drive.

Plug the USB drive back into your Xbox 360 and copy the files off there and onto your 360 HDD.

... And that's it! You may need to repeat the last few steps (see here to find out how), but the whole process shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes.

Notes

When formatting a USB pen drive, make sure there's nothing on there that isn't backed up. Formatting a USB drive will erase all the contents!

Option files will not work correctly when run from a USB pen drive, or on the 4GB hard drives. This is due to a hardware limitation which is out of Konami's control. The main edit data, such as player names and kit designs, will work correctly but the kit logo files and competition logos will not.

Replacing your existing option file will remove any edits that you have made. If you have created teams or emblems that you would like to keep, you can use the Export feature in edit mode.

The programs used to transfer 360 save files to and from USB pen drives are limited by the number of files they can transfer in one go. The program tends to break when you try and transfer 250 or more files in one go. It is likely that the option files you download will require you to do 2 or 3 transfers to get all the data onto your Xbox.

You will not be banned from Xbox Live for using option files. Any achievement data is stored in a file separate from any editing data.

Do you have to replace V2 with V1.5, or can you keep them both? I'm asking because I don't know how to use the export option.

[Mike]

You overwrite the V1.5 files with the V2 files, as you can only have one option file on at a time.

[MohMuradPES]

You mean overwrite V2 with V1.5? And how do you use the export option? I want to keep my classic teams and players edit data because I edited the names. The rest won't really matter.

[Mike]

No. I mean you overwrite the old v1.5 files with the new v.2 files.

You can import your classic teams onto a USB. Do not format this USB because if you do, you will lose everything.

Use another USB to get v2 onto your 360. Then use a second USB to import the classic teams you've made.

Although this suggestion is too late, we urge you not to do a lot of editing on early files. Because like you'll now know, once a new update is available, it's very annoying to back up all your edits.

[MohMuradPES]

What about the classic player edits?

[Mike]

I would assume you could import them into a team and then export them - although it all sounds very complicated, and it may not even work.

Sorry, my knowledge of PES editing isn't perfect.

[MohMuradPES]

So move all of the players into different teams, then export and import them back into the classic players packs? That won't work, there's no option to import into the classic player packs. I don't know what to do...

[MohMuradPES]

Can anyone reply?

[Mike]

I made a suggestion but you told me that it wasn't possible. Not that I know it will work, I don't know what to do.

Classic players are tricky. In some places, I've read that they don't import - because they're unlockables.

[MohMuradPES]

Thanks for your help, I'll just make a thread on Pesfan and see what comes up.

When importig 00001 from the option file folder into USB XTAF GUI Version 44, i keep getting 'Programme is not responding' is this because of the ammount of files im trying to import at once? is there a easier way of getting all the files over into thr usb?

PLEASE somebody help me,
im loosing my rag with my laptop LOL

[Mike]

Try moving the files in batches of 200 (or if it still crashes, an even lower amount). I don't know why but the program tends to crash when you try to move them all across at once.

Here's how you do it:

Create new folders called Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 etc
Inside each folder, create a folder called 000001
Put 200 files in each 000001 folder

When you come to the inject folder bit in xtaf, choose the 000001 folder in part 1, then plug your USB into your 360 and copy the files across.

Then repeat the guide, but inject the 000001 folder in part 2 and so on.
