Getting the pictures:
Step 1: Getting the Files
- Get Yelo
- Get Xored ETM Trainer Launcher 2.2
- Open the "Xored.ini" file in Notepad
- Find these line of code:
Code:
# 1 trainer path only
Trainers_Path = "C:\Trainers"
#Trainers_Path = "C:\Trainers"
- Replace it with this:
Code:
# 1 trainer path only
Trainers_Path = "E:\Apps\mini\Trainers"
#Trainers_Path = "E:\Apps\mini\Trainers"
- Save and exit
- FTP to your Xbox
- Go to E:\Apps\
- Transfer over the "mini" folder you unzipped
- Go to E:\Apps\mini\Trainers
- Transfer over all the files from the Yelo download you unzipped
- Go to E:\TDATA\4D530064\
- Transfer "config v1.5.inc" to this folder.
- FTP to your Xbox
- Go to E:\TDATA\4D530064\
- Rename the "$c" and "$u" folders to "z$c" and "z$u"
- When you want to play the new maps again rename the folders back to how you had them.
- Turn on/Reboot your Xbox
- Start Halo 2 with Yelo:
- Go to "Applications" (depending on dashboard)
- Go to "Xored Trainer Launcher"
- Go to "Halo 2"
- Go to "Yelo"
- Make sure "Developers Mode" is enabled (I wouldn't suggest having to many other options enabled at once)
- Press the "Start" button
- Load your modded map
- Use these controls to get to a good spot for a picture
