Hey guys/girls, I just downloaded a game from the marketplace with my RGH.

The question is, where the heck does it go? I am trying to find the game directory for the marketplace but it is nowhere to be found.

A little help would be appreciated



EDIT: thank you guys for your support! I got it fixed, here is the method I used:

1) downloaded the game from marketplace.
2) went to storage and moved the game to a usb.
3) Opened horizon and dragged the game file into there.
4) clicked on the "contents" tab and then extracted all of the files.

Are you trying to find the game to launch it? Or to modify the files like MW2?

No I can't find it anywhere:( I did not install the game from disk or download it from pc so I have no clue where xbox puts it when you download from the marketplace.

I did some googling something your probably already did. Is this maybe your fix?
where do the games go?

this can be frustrating at first. firstly there are 2 core methods of storing content to run on a 360. xex and god. traditionally your
360 uses the GOD (Game on Demand) format. the official kinect dashboard finds GOD packages installed to the content folder on xbox
formatted devices such as internal hdd or usb drives formatted for storage by a 360. GOD packages are usually found with eight
character folder titles such as "58410B47". to install you will need access to the xbox partitions. you can access these partitions
via file browser in most custom dashboards easily though. you can transfer files to these partitions using the custom dashboard. custom
dashboards usually emit an ftp address allowing you direct access to its drives from pc. you can also use Xplorer 360 to browse your
xbox partitions via pc directly. the 360 hard drives can be connected via sata normally. you will need to open your phat 360 hdd
enclosure to do this unless you have a connectivity kit for that purpose.

no matter how you gain access to your 360 partition you will want to find the content folder on the root of your drive. find or
create it and its subfolder. it shoudl look like this "hdd:\content\0000000000000000\". here is an example of where i installed the
apples to apples xbla game. "hdd:\content\0000000000000000\58410B47\". copy the content folder to a (fat32) usb device, open file
explorer in your custom dashboard and transfer the file from your usb device to the content folder (\content\0000000000000000\).
restart your dashboard. it should be available from the games section of your dashboard now.

No that didn't work I tried moving the game onto a usb from the storage manager and that worked but then i opened up the usb in horizon > extracted the game file but I do not know how to extract the files from there as it is not in an iso format or any other disk format. It is just a file.
