tite tite...just use boxexplorer or watever hdd explorer u have and create a folder called Games in the dirctory or E:/ so ur folder will be in E:/Games .put ur halo 2 disc in and copy all the files from D:/ (which will be ur halo 2 files)EXCEPT for the campian maps to E:/Games/Halo2 it should fit. then u will be able to play halo 2 off ur hdd, mod the old maps and play on xbc with them
well when u copy games on ur hdd it makes a folder called Games in the E:/ directory.Then the games u burn are put in E:/Games.Here's an example...Ex-Mechassault = E:/Games/Mechassault. Halo 2 = E:/Games/Halo2 . do u get it now?..so make a folder called Games in E:/ . then make a folder called Halo2 in the Games folder . then open boxplorer or hdd xplorer and on one side open D:/ and on the other side open E:/Games/Halo2. select all the files and folders EXCEPT for the Maps folder, on ur D:/ then copy em to E:/Games/Halo2.. now make a folder in E:/Games/Halo2 called maps. so it will be E:/Games/Halo2/Maps ,now open D:/ and go to maps. now copy all the halo 2 maps(such as lockout,midship)to E:/Games/Halo2/maps..DON'T COPY THE CAMPAIGN MAPS.. they'll be the maps like 04_HighCharitiy or 03_Newmebossa....copy all the other maps.... then go back to ur dashboard the select the option games or play games whicheverone shows on ur dashboard. then halo 2 will appear..
there are 2 ways you can do this: 1: Simply FTP over the ISO into the correct directory. 2: Burn the ISO to a disc then use dvd2xbox (or any other program like it) to copy it straight to the HDD.
Because if you have a stock hard drive, Halo 2 won't fit on it. He saying to remove the single player maps because he's assuming that only multiplayer will be played. If you're just trying to back-up Halo 2, you'll be better off putting it on a DVD-R.
Sure. You just won't be able to play single player. I used to do that for modded Halo 2 system link before I upgraded my hard drive.
You can delete a bunch of things to make Halo 2 smaller. Delete everything in the bink folder, these are loading videos. Delete the maps that start with numbers and the single_player_shared.map, these are for campaign. You can also delete dashupdate.xbe, uploader.xbe, and downloader.xbe. Now you have a very small Halo 2.
4502 megabytes. I backed it up to my hard drive yesterday because I wanted to play it a bit and wanted some shorter load times.
ok i have a modded xbox and i know how to mod and ftp the new maps to my xbox but even after reading these last post i dont understand how to mod the orginal maps....u save them to your xbox...but i dont know how to that....also what is boxexplorer im asuming you can explore something... please help me thanks
boxplorer is an outdated Xbox file manager. Couldn't tell you about modding maps though, since all I ever used modded maps with was system link.
also which is a better dashboard between unleashX and Evox? just for ftping purposes and possible saving games to your harddrive (if i learn that)
