Tutorial for setting up Yelo15 Trainer for Halo 2 Screenshots!

Just name it like -$u- or something. Like I said, ANYTHING else.

Like I said, the disable autoupdate feature on the trainer doesn't work.

Even if you have a different xbox, should be the same.

You don't need to copy Halo 2 to your HDD, you only have to if you want to use the multiplayer map pack.

I will state again, this trainer cannot be used with the multiplayer map pack unless you copy the maps to your HDD.

Read again, I asked you nothing about $C and $U! I asked you about F and such drives.

If you want further help, you'll have to do the following:

1. Speak/Type better English!
2. Read what I post instead of skimming through it!

 

I used your tutorial and downloads and still... I cannot seem to get mine to work. I don't understand what I am doing wrong.

I go into the trainer and disable autoupdate and I also went into the folder /E/TDATA/4d5300064 to change $U to something else... BUT in /E/TDATA/4d5300064 there is no $U directory?? I don't understand why you would have it I do not. But if you have to rename it to anything else anyway, I can't see why it would matter if I do or do not have it. I turn on some of the cheats I want to use like Heal and Amo and some others. I then Save and Exit.

Next I go to the Apps menu to run the trainer program. A window comes up with:

Halo 2
PxHDDLoader

And some red wrighting down the bottom.
I selected "Halo 2" but my screen just flashes for half a second and the menu stays there... I tried pressing start at first, then the A button. Nothing. X button obviously works, but disables the trainer.

So instead I tried using the disc. Restarted my X-Box, made sure all the settings in the trainer were the same. Went to the trainer program menu and inserted the Halo 2 disc, it pops up. I select it and the same thing happens. I have tried this multiple times, from the HDD and the DVD and nothing seems to work...

Do you have any idea what is wrong? If so ANY help at all would be apretiated.

X-Box Dashboard --- EvoX -3935
When selecting trainer --- When in the Trainer menu I see Inf Heal, Amo, Skull listings etc.. etc..
Halo 2 HDD or DVD? --- I tried both off of the HDD and off of the DVD
Killtrocity Map Pack from your HD? --- No
Downloaded and install the trainer? --- 29th January 2007
All trainer files? --- I double checked all the files

 

@DaemonMeg -

Well, you won't have the $U directory unless you've installed the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack before; which you haven't.

I've had your problem several times before, so don't worry, it can be fixed.

So, here's what I want you do:

Make sure that when you insert a disk into the xbox DVD Drive, the DVD Drive letter is D.

To do this:
1. Start your xbox, make sure it is on the EvoX dash.
2. FTP to your xbox.
3. Place a disk in the DVD tray and put the tray in the box.
4. On your FTP software, check the D drive to see if any files are in there.

Here's the second thing I want you to do:

Copy Halo 2 to your HDD and check where it's at:
1. Put DVD2Xbox on your HDD.
2. Copy Halo 2 to the /E/games/ directory using DVD2Xbox.
3. FTP to your xbox, check the /E/ directory.
4. Make sure that Halo 2 is in the /E/games/ directory.

If all of that checks out to be fine; I want you to try one more thing. I want you to erase Halo 2, and the trainer. Now, try EVERYTHING over again. Yeah, it may sound stupid, but just try. Make sure you are looking at the tutorial EVERY step of the way.

Last time I softmodded an xbox, I ended up putting some files in the wrong directory and yeah...It turns out, I would load Xored Trainer Launcher, I would see Halo 2, click on it, and the screen would flash and stay where it was.

Just let me know if what I said works, if not, don't worry, I may still be able to help!

Just had to add:

Welcome to AfterDawn, have fun! You may only be a newbie for now, but you talk good English and follow good directions and give good detail. You'll be up in the ranks before you know it! Keep it up!

 

Hi everyone,

I downloaded the trainer and Xored Launcher yesterday (8/2/2007) and the trainers work perfectly in multiplayer mode but if I enter a campain either single or cooperative the game screen spinns round uncontrollably making it imposible to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I dont have xbox live so have the fist version of Halo 2 (collectors edition) and havent got any other mods or map packs.

Heres a little info like you've been asking for in other posts:

Xbox Dashboard --- EvoX +3935
Xored --- I click 'halo 2' then 'Yelo: Halo 2' and see all the options (i disable autoupdate and enable developers mode and choose infinity health, infinity ammo ect.)
HDD or DVD --- I insert the dvd and then launch Xored
Killtrocity Map Pack --- No
Trainer files --- I have all the files in the right place

Xbox drives:
C:
\backup
\bios
\Fonts
\Skin
\Trainers
\xboxdashdata
\xodash

D: (DVD drive)

E:
\APPS (i use F:\Apps for all my others as it is bigger but created this for the tutorial)
\APPS \mini (Xored directory)
\Cache
\games (empty as i use F:\Games because it is bigger drive)
\music
\TDATA
\TDATA \4d530064 (contains only $u and config file from tutorial)
\Trainers (this didn't exist as i used C:\Trainers so the dash would see them, i created this for the tutorial so it was same drive as everything else)
\UDATA
\video

F:
\APPS
\GAMES
\MUSIC
\VIDEO
(and some system directories)

G: (empty)

Q: (just some random app directories, most look to be part of Xbox Media Center)

I've never installed any trainers myself before but have followed the tutorial up to copying the trainer but didn't continue on to copying screenshots, althoigh i did read the FAQ and no luck

Hope i've given enough information for you, if you need to know anything else just ask.

 

ah, fixed it now - just disable the developer mode and it works just fine

 

Well, you could do that; however, that is what this entire trainer is about. It's an easy fix really, just press back+dpad-up to return to normal.

In fact, for all of those wondering, here is the configuration layout:

 

i have a problem when i play using teh yelo trainer i boot halo through a dvd-r that i burned halo 2 from, and i set the trainer to auto update disabled, and the other thing right below it, and it works for every map except lockout, i can't get it to load the map lockout, it says you failed to load the map, please hlep me

 

@ZhenYevan - Unfortunately for you, the problem is not with the trainer. If you have a copied version of Halo 2 like you said, then it must be the DVD is either dirty, scratched, or the map file was messed up to begin with. But, you say it works with all of the other maps?

@Everyone Else - I have fixed the problem with some trainers not working, and only "flashing". It seems that Xored Trainer Launcher is mostly compatible with only the NTSC version of games. This is untested; however, every time I get a trainer for the PAL version of the game, just have the trainer in the /E/Trainers/ directory will mess up all the trainers.

 

how do i use the trainers, if i want to play halo off the hd?? everytime i click start it freezes

 

@ZhenYevan - Well, first off, I would recommend that you get a clean version of Halo 2 on your HDD. After that, if you follow my tutorial, it should explain perfectly well what to do. You should also make sure that you have the NTSC version of Halo 2, and not the PAL version. This cam be determined by looking at the top-right of the case. In a little box, it will either say 'NTSC' or 'PAL'. Use DVD2Xbox (link is in the tut) and copy Halo 2 to your HDD. Then you just need to follow the tutorial all the way through.

 

i dont see anything about using it with Halo 2 on the hdd, when i click start on the trainer it goes to a black screen and freezes. is there a way to make the trainer boot from the halo 2 on my hdd??? i want to play halo 2 from the hdd and not from the cd, cuz it doesn't work from the cd. please help

 

@ZhenYevan - My apologies, I thought it did. However, this tutorial was made for playing trainers from both CD and HDD. You say that when you click on a trainer it goes to a black screen? I have never had this occur before, so I'm going to assume you might be using a different dashboard. So, I need you to tell me what dash your using.

As for getting it to work from HDD, just so long as you use DVD2Xbox and copy the game, it should read it fine. Just make sure that the copied Halo 2 game is located in the /E/Games/ Directory.

I've even checked the files, and all the directory paths in the .ini file are correctly configured. How about this:

Try re-downloading all the files, and take the steps from the beginning to get it working.

If it still doesn't work, just let me know. Then I'll just PM you, and we can exchange Instant Messenger screen names. I'm an IT Tech, so the least I can do for you is connect to your computer and practically mod it myself.

Let me know how it all turns out. I'll be here to help you. Also, if you want, I'm thinking about setting up a service where you can mail me the xbox, I softmod it for you, then send it back. The only problem I am having with this is trust (of course). Just let me know what course of action you want.

Keep us posted on what worked and what didn't just for future reference for others.

P.S. Like I mentioned before, make sure you're using the NTSC version of Halo 2 and not the PAL version.

 

i found out wat was wrong, i downloaded a different file and used that one cuz i thought they were all the same but that one was probably linked to just run from the disk, so now i used yours and it works, thanks soo much, im soo stupid i can't believe i forgot about that..lol

 

but there is one problem, whenever i select disable auto update the map lockout doesn't work, it says i failed to load the map, thats my favorite map and i wanna make a video from it...lol...i have replaced the map soo many times, something has to be wrong, is it possible that it wont work because i edited it so that when you start up it goes faster cuz i deleted all that media, and i deleted all the campain..taht woudldn't make a difference right

 

@ZhenYevan - Deleting that media would have no affect on the game, other than playing campaign. I'm not sure what the problem is really, because it seems as though there have been many reports of this. In fact, I'm checking into it right now myself.

I'll keep you posted if I find anything.

EDIT:

Well, once again, I seem to not have any problems. I have the same setup as you, I cut out the media, the bink, etc. I guess the only suggestion I can give you is to make sure your copy of Halo 2 for your xbox is set up like this (just ignore the "iso" stuff).

Other than that, I will say this: Make sure you do not delete anything in your /E/Cache/ Directory. In fact, I would recommend you play that map normally first, that way it's embed into your Cache folder. After you are able to play it once originally, it should work fine.

I guess, if anything, I could send you a clean copy of that map; just to make sure. Let me know if anything I said helped.

 

Hey, I set up this trainer and it worked great. I have tried other trainers though and can't get them to work. Is there a system that works every time for installing trainers? Or a tut. that gives a play by play like this one for other trainers?

I noticed on this trainer that I had to place 2 files in 2 different locations. Is that the same for all trainers. Sorry if this is not the place for this question, maybe someone could redirect me if its not?

Thanks

Jman

 

@jman31 - Feel free to ask all of your questions here. I'm glad you liked it! To answer some of your questions, no, most trainers are not like this one, and only contain one file. The file most of them contain is an .etm file, and an .nfo file. The .nfo file is just a text document that explains who the trainer was made by, and what is it, and possibly how to use it. The .etm file is the trainer itself. To open, and read, and .nfo file, simply right-click the file and open it with notepad.

To use other trainers, you just simply need to put the .etm file into the /E/Trainers Directory after you have installed Xored Trainer Launcher using the method explained in this tutorial. After that, be sure to reboot your Xbox, start up Xored (with the game in), select your game, and your trainer, and your options, press 'start' and have fun!

Welcome to the AfterDawn community, and we hope you enjoy the information you will find here!

 

Hey Man, Nice tutorial.
The camera works just fine for me (after a little trial and error)
I finally realized that I had a controller plugged in the 2nd player jack. And to add something my Halo 2 folder is on /F/Games, while the 'mini' folder and 'trainers' folder is on /E/. so the game files can be on a different drive than the etm file.

Ok now on to my problem. after i copy the screen shot files to the 'RAW' folder i run BatchDeswizzle and get an error. this error:

Any thoughts? I have already tried re downloading the file.
thanks for the help.

 

that is a windows error, you either have to reformat yoru pc or reinstall windows, it happened to me, omlomst every time you downlaod a program from now on you will get that error and it wont load, it sucks i know

 

hey i have a capture card, and i wanna make a video using this trainer, is it possible to do that, cuz whenever i do it like the guys on teh other xbox's i have hooked up dont turn and their feet liek skim across the ground, is there something im doing wrong, cuz i wanna be able to move around and stuff but like freeze my person or w/e and then use my capture card to make the video, i think it would be sweet
