CONVERTING .Z36 FILES TO .BIN

You can use the Xport 360 software to convert .z36 files (compressed 360 memory card images) to .bin files
(uncompressed 360 memory card image).
".z36" files are a popular memory card format which are generated by the "XChange 360" software (also by
Datel). They are simply compressed versions of the ".bin" memory card images.
".bin" files can be used in the Xport 360 application as well as similar "Xplorer 360" application.

TO CONVERT THE .Z36 FILE TO A .BIN FILE:

1. Run Xport 360.
2. Cancel the select device dialog box.
3. Go into the file menu, select "Open Image".
4. In the file selection box, select your ".z36" file.
5. Xport 360 will tell you that the ".z36" file is compressed and ask you if it can decompress it. Select
"OK".
6. You will be prompted for a destination filename, a good idea is to use the same filename as you
opened but with a ".bin" extension.
7. You can use this .bin file in Xport 360 and/or Xplorer 360. Xport 360 will now have loaded the file
and be displaying its contents.

COPYING A GAME SAVE TO YOUR 360 MEMORY CARD OR HARD DISK

A common thing to do is get a game save from the internet and want to put it on your Xbox 360 so you can try
it out.

1. COPY FROM A MEMORY CARD IMAGE (.Z36 OR .BIN)

Part 1 – Open the image and find the save:
1. Run Xport 360.
2. Cancel the select device dialog box.
3. Go into the file menu, select "Open Image".
4. In the file selection box, select your memory card image file (".z36" or ".bin"; if you select a
".z36" file you will be prompted to decompress it to a ".bin" file, follow the on screen
prompts and supply a destination filename).
5. Xport 360 will now have loaded the memory card image file and be displaying its contents.
6. Open the "Partition 2" tree, and the "Content" tree.
7. Inside the "Content" tree you will see more folders. For each "profile" on the memory card
there is one folder (there might only be one). The "profile" folders are named with 15 letters
and numbers and look something like "E0000195A4F2F49".
