Softmodding an Xbox Tutorial

Jon...I made 2 folder in smartFTP under the E file, I clicked on E and right clicked>NEW FOLDER and named 1 apps and the other games and than I put for example, pacman into the games folder, than I put the pgr2 editor in the apps folder and also some emulators. I than go to the dashboard and look under games and apps and my stuff is there but when i press A nothing happens!? PLEASE HELP thanks

 

Make sure you're copying it correctly. A common mistake is not having the default.xbe file in the first subdirectory. What i mean is, ftp the folder of the program under your e:\apps directory, and make sure the main launcher file "default.xbe" is under the file folder. For example, if you had Xbox Media Center, it would look like this:

e:\apps\xbmc\default.xbe + the other program files

That should be the directory structure for your programs...

 

First of all i'd like to thank you for all your help. There is one more question about were to put something....I got this modded map off of a...."site" and I don't know were to put it? it's the levels "the hive" and this other one, can't remember the name. how do I get those to work? thanks a lot man.

 

Oh okay, no problem...yeah the Hive is a great map, you'll love it. Try to find Dark Ruins, Descension, and Celdation as well, these are other great maps. Anyway, you just have to place them in your Halo 2/maps folder. This is assuming they're already patched. Then, just edit your mainmenu.map to show the maps on the multiplayer menu and you're done!

ok, then i'll change it to .zip format then drag and drop it into action replay, so an 8mb memcard can fit the whole ltools file? yea jo, i want to play on those variations to the maps, they look so sweet

LOL geeze im so close to haveing moderific fun but the littlest things bring me to a hault, so could you please tell me how to edit the hex. If I could give you something in return for this help I would but.......hmmmm pay pal? lol

Finally back from the journey. Ask away.

@lucien

Just keep waiting, the screen does not come up automatically. If you wait for 2 hours and the screen still does not come up, I would suggest using a different game.

@xXPSYCOXx

Godfreakingdamn, finally, a non-n00bler that UNDERSTANDS! I applaud you.

 

Jobitrini, can u please tell me what the idot tools package does and where i can find it

 

@gobs

I can help you too. The ldots itools package can help you softmod your XBOX by using a great and easy-to-use interface. You can get it by downloading it from #xbins, if you need any help at all with that, try my tutorial, as it goes hand-in-hand with jon's:
