How To Mod Halo 2 Using Xsata On 360.

[Halo3Fan1920]

Things Needed:
-XSATA
-Xplorer 360 ( http://files.filefront.com/Xplorer360_Be...;/fileinfo.html )
-Super PPF ( http://files.filefront.com/Super_PPFexe/;6801819;;/fileinfo.html )
-Map Resigner ( http://files.filefront.com/Map_Resignere...;/fileinfo.html )
-Mods (The PPF Noobs Map Pack: http://www.theppfnoobs.com/Mods/The%20PP...p%20Package.rar )

*Note* You don't neccessarily need XSATA. All you need is a way to connect your Xbox 360 harddrive to your computer.

*Note* You can't mod old maps with this.

First you need to attach your XSATA




Then plug one end of the USB cord into your computer




Then plug the other end into your XSATA and then turn on your Xbox 360




Now open up Xplorer 360




Then go to Drive -> Open -> Harddrive or Mem Card...




Then you will see your harddrives three partions. Navigate through to Partition 3 -> Compatibility -> Xbox1 -> TDATA -> 4d530064 -> $C




Then you will see three folders: 4d53006400000001, 4d53006400000002, and 4d53006400000003. In these three folders are the Halo 2 downloadable maps. Start off by opening the '4d53006400000001' folder.




You will notice that the Containment and Warlock map files are in there. Along with some update files. Right click on Containment.map and click 'Extract' and save it to your desktop. Then leave Xplorer 360 open.







Then open up Super PPF




Then click the floppy disc that is next to 'Map File' on the Super-PPF-O-Matic




Locate the Containment.map




Then click the floppy disc next to 'Patch File' on the Super-PPF-O-Matic




Then locate '1080 Containment.sppf'




Then click the 'Apply Super PPF Patch' button




Then you get a message that says 'Done' and then click OK.




Then you can close 'Super PPF' and now open up 'Map Resigner'




Then click 'Open Map'




Then locate 'Containment.map'




Then click 'Sign Map'




Then in the middle you will see it says 'Complete'




Now you can close 'Map Resigner' and go back to your Xplorer 360, which should still be open. Then right click on the Containment.map that is on your Xbox 360 harddrive and click 'Delete'




Now right click in the blank area of Xplorer 360 and click on 'Insert File'




Then locate your 'Containment.map'




Then it will start injecting




Once it has finished, close Xplorer 360 and unplug the USB cord from your computer and then your XSATA. Your Xbox 360 will reboot because it can now access the harddrive. You have now successfully modded Containment. You can now go through this same process for all the other maps until they are all modded and resigned.

do you have to download super ppf???

[David5534]

Super ppf is for patching mods to a map so you don't need it unless you download an sppf patch and want to play it.

[Godly Chaos]

okay, so i have a bit of a problem... I used this post to teach me how to mod.. and it worked so thank you.. BUT i only have to stupid full auto and jumping high and that ****.. how do i edit it.. because when i put it in dot halo.. it doesnt work...

[David5534]

You could try to use entity but i would look for tuts on it first because its a more advanced program then dot-halo.
P.S. make a topic in halo 2 help when your have a question you want answered.

[Godly Chaos]

jw, do u have to replace the original map to get the mod on. or can u have the mod and the original on at the same time. I just don't want to completley replace an original map with a modded map.

[Not Zachary88-2]

Replace the original.
