I have downloaded HCE to my XBOX and i can use it. My problem is when I patch a map it gives me a errors when I try to play map. The disc is either dirty or bad. What could this be? I have tried PPF-O-Matic and the Sparkedit and I am getting the same results.

Am I doing this right
1. in PPF -o-Matic in the ISO field i put the cache003.map from my XBOX and the Patch field I put a PPF file I downloaded from the net. Then I press apply and it will say patch successfully applied burn to CD Now then I press OK and close PPF-O-Matic.
2. In Sparkedit I Open cache file. Do I open the cache003 file from My XBOX or is there something else I have to open. I opened my cache003 file and then save as a compressed map. Do i save it and replace the cache003 file on my XBOX or do I save it as Blood Gulch map and place it in my Halo maps folder. I have tried both ways and still get the error dirty or bad disc .
WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG
PLEASE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLPPPPPP

Not too hard im sure if you searched there's probly a sticky on it. In fact i believe its in the tutorials section on the main page. But ill explain anyways:
1.)Download Your ppf file
2.)Load up halo, play the map the ppf is desgined for
3.)Go back to dashboard and ftp to xbox
4.)transfer the cache003.map to your computer
5.)apply the patch in PPF-oMatic
now you can either:
a)transfer cache003.map back into x: y: or z: and play it from the cache
or
b)open cache003.map in SE and compress it - then rename it as bloddgulch.map and put it in the [maps] folder on your xbox

Once you patch the cache003.map file, make sure you transfer back into the proper drive. Also, make sure you transfer atleast twice into it. Cache003.map and cache004.map, atleast. If you only played BG, then cachhe003-005 will all be BG. Soyou need atleast 2 of them to be modded BG for the mods to show up.
