XBox Controller Method

Step One: The easy way.
Purchase this cable "SmartJoy-X™ USB Adapter" Here
If you choose the easy way you can skip to Step Three: Installing Software)

the cable looks like this and it simply connects to the break-away section of your XBox controller so that you end up with the far photo. Now it simply hooks up to your PC using USB.

Step Two: The hard Way
Find a Microsoft XBox Controller that you are willing to give up for the cause and follow these instructions, you will also need a USB extension cable or even the USB cable from an unused Mouse will work fine.

Start by separating your cable at the break-away point just like this photo, now cut off the Regular Xbox connector at the point shown in the photo.

Cut off the wire shielding and separate the wires you should now see this.

Your cable to join with the Xbox Break-away cable should have an end that looks like the photo on the left. Cut off the other end and expose the wire shielding and separate the wires. Now you simply need to solder all the same colored wires together, when done your will have the same as the photo on the Right. We don't need to use the Yellow Wire or extra shielding so tape them up to avoid shorts, tape all wires to avoid shorts and you're done!

Step Three: Installing software
So if you don't have the software you can download the Action Replay software Here after installing it you only need to simply drag the file from the File Explorer window onto the left most pane (which is the contents of the Memory card).

Note in the photo above the large "AR" is black, it will turn green once a Memory card is inserted and recognized by the Action Replay driver.

Note: If when you insert the memory card you are asked for a driver simply send the add new hardware wizard to this directory to obtain the drivers files needed
C:\Program Files\Datel\ActionReplay Xbox\Drivers

The bar on the Memory Card will turn orange and increase in length until the complete file has been written to the Memory card. The Memory Card screen will be updated with the save games installed on the Memory card. Now you're ready to copy the save game to your Xbox.

You should of course make sure no other save games are present for this Game first before copying the new save over!

Copy the save game to the un-modded XBOX that you are about to flash. Make sure you have copied it the hard-drive and do not try loading the save game from the memory card as it will fail and may result in a bad Copy which means your not gonna be playing any games without some major soldering.

If using the 'Splinter Cell' exploit you will need to repeat the above process twice as it actually has two game saves to install (the save game was to large to fit on the memory card so it was split into two parts).

I had never used a memory card before and couldn't get the copy option to show up until I figured out you need to select the game title first then press the D-pad to the right to enter the folder, now the copy option shows up.
