Xbox Modding Requirements And Instructions
You Will need:
8 mb xbox memory card
original copy of splinter cell
xbox-pc usb cord or you can make one.
action replay.exe
Softmod Installer Deluxe v2.0 (which can be found at various torrent sites)
Instructions:
Install
Softmod Installer Deluxe v2.0 and action replay.exe
Open Softmod Installer Deluxe v2.0
Connect your xbox controller to your pc with your xbox-pc usb cord and put your memory card into your controller.
1. Open the Action Replay software on your PC.
2. Drag and Drop the zip file SID.sc.v2.0.Xbox-Hq from softmod installer deluxe into the PC Database on action replay.
Click start my computer and open up removable storage device then drag and drop the file SID.sc.v2.0.Xbox-Hq into the removable storage device.
Now that you have got the game save onto your memory device, you have to put it on your unmodded Xbox. This is very easily done:
1. Insert the Memory Card and turn on the Xbox.
2. Select Memory on the main MS Dash menu.
3. Select your Memory Card.
4. Select the Game save.
5. Select Copy, and then select your Xbox HDD. After a couple of seconds the game save will be on the Hard Drive. Remember that with Splinter cell there are 2 games, the Linux Installer and the Splinter Cell saves.
Now, reset your Xbox and insert the original game, which is Splinter Cell. Please note that Xbox Classics versions will not work, so you need to get an old copy of this (second hand would be your best bet).
Once you have loaded the game, you have to load the game save. All three games have different ways of doing this, which is explained below:
splinter cell load game Linux installer
OK, now we’re ready to start Softmodding your Xbox.
6. Use the "Create C Backup" option to backup your C drive. To back up the Eeprom you’ll need to use the Evolution X dashboard. The Eeprom backup is stored at C:\Backup (this can’t be changed unfortunately) so please remember this.
7. Install the Softmod. Please note this deletes the MS Dash from C Drive, hence why you have been told to use the backup feature.
8. Install what dashboard you wish to use. Unfortunately due to lack of space I can only put Evolution X and UnleashX in this package, I hope that is good enough. You have the choice to install the dashboard to either C or E Drive.
9. Shut down your Xbox, then restart it, remove the disc, and close the tray. If this has worked like it should, you should see your choice of dashboard (either EvoX or UnleashX). Please note if you boot your Xbox and leave the DVD Tray open it will take you back to the menu where you installed your Softmod.
10. If you want to put the MS Dashboard back on your Xbox, you’ll need to put MS Dash 5960 on your Xbox. This comes standard with Xboxes 1.6 and higher, so older Xboxes will need to upgrade. The easiest way to do this (once the box is softmodded) is to use my Auto-Installer Deluxe to delete the files from C Drive and install the latest MS Dash. Note: when this is done you’ll have to repeat steps 6 to 9.
11. Restart your Xbox with the DVD tray open to bring up the Softmod menu. Run the "Patch MS 5960" now, and it will put the MS Dash back on C Drive, and patch it so your hacked dashboard can now use it. Note, the MS Dashboard will be called msdash.xbe now, since the Xbox still needs the hacked xboxdash.xbe in order to boot the softmod. Once you’ve selected this option, it will run through some tasks, and then boot PPF-XBOX to do the rest. After PPF-XBOX has done its work it will restart your Xbox.
12. Now is the time to make a backup of your modded C drive. This comes handy just in case a game tries to update your dashboard. If this ever happens, just use the "Restore Mod Backup". If you ever want to remove the Softmod (mainly for Xbox Live purposes) you can restore your backup of C Drive by using the "Restore C Backup" option in the Softmod menu.
Once you have completed this you can burn xbox games to your hard drive.
