Modded my XBox

[Cortexian]

I need to update my Xbox's XBMC apparently... What version are you running Mookz?

[Dr Nick]

I've had a modded XBox since last Summer.

I need to get a bigger hard drive for it though, the current one is from the 8GB model, I think.

8.10 Final. The download is in the video desc. The XBox 360 look is just a skin though. It's also in the download. ;b

And yeah, I hear ya Nick. I'm really hesitant about unscrewing my box though, I softmodded because I didn't want hardware all over the place.

Not quiet true. Soft Mods and chips both allowed live play.

Yea obviously you can get on live, but bungie banned players from matchmaking..... If any map is modified and looks tampered with, you'd be f'd. end of story, I been modding xbox's(360's now) since 02 I know whats up.

That's why you run them from the disc when you're on Live and leave your modded maps on the HD

And installed Halo 2 Combat Evolved onto it.

So what method did you use?

Also is this mod Campaign compatible?

and your cache is still checked.......

so even if you do a cold boot off the orig dash with the modded maps in the cache, you still run the risk.
that answer was just ugh.... anyways, back more on topic..
Im deciding to bust out my old xbox and replace unleashX with the new 8.10 final xbmc for the hell of it, keeping unleashx in my apps folder just in case..

Whenever I ran either version of H2, I just cleared my cache (format X:, Y:, and Z: I think). Then you could coldboot with no problems.

With H2:CE, all the maps are in the local folder, so nothing needs to be modded in the DLC folder either.

Pooky: It is not campaign compatible. Only multiplayer was modded in full. At some point, someone (Crimson King maybe?) tried to mod it into campaign, but it always kept freezing.

You may want to search around before you take my word for it (Because I'm not entirely sure), but Bungie doesn't care about modding Halo 2 on live anymore. Apparently, if you mod on matchmaking (Which you SHOULD NOT do) you are booted from live and you can't sign in for 30 seconds or something like that. Then you just sign in again and can do whatever you want. I'm not sure what the exact method of loading the maps was during this process, so once again, search around.

Open an FTP to the XBox and use the Serenity Installer from http://www.freewebs.com/halo2-ce/ but leave New DLC Maps unchecked, it's unsupported.

And no unfortunately, it's not for the campaign. I wish it was. It would pwn ass. It's supported by XBox Connect though, but I haven't seen any servers up. But if there ever are, I'll be ready >:V
