HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Hi, I have been looking and found some interesting soft mod tutorials but I was wondering if anyone knew a way to mod halo without Action Replay, any alternatives that will allow me to just add Halo levels like the forest gulch and other halo mods would be useful, im not interested in modding any other games.
If anyone knows any alternatives to this, without buying action replay, please let me know, but if there no other ways without action replay and 007 or mech assualt or of course a mod chip could someone tell me if I need to by a specific version or something of action replay, and where to buy it? Thanks in advance

halo pc .....but really check out www.xbox-scene.com

I think all action replays work, but you'll need an older version of Mech assault or 007. Not the Platinum hits versions.

i thinks there a tut for buying a xtra breakway cable for the xbox control then cutting the new one and using one of those usb thingy's , then downloading the action replay software using the drivers included to make a fully functioning action replay look alike you still need a mem card though

ok i found the tut this is not mine , mad gouki / vintage guitar wrote it !

"This method will allow you to use a regular memory unit as an action replay (get and put saves from the internet to the xbox) without buying a mega-x key or action replay but rather, a standard xbox memory unit (xbox brand,but read on later in this thread if you want too try some other brand..there are ways too do this..but i have not tried them so of course..i will not include them in my tutorial) and a standard xbox controller. Also, it will let you use your controller on your computer like a usable gamepad..on most emulators and games with controller support, and also, just by making a few modifications, you can use a keyboard and mouse on your xbox.
You'll need,
1.xbox memory unit(ideas are shaky about needing and not needing to add lines of code for other brands of memory cards..like interact..this tutorial explains how with a regular MS brand memory card.)

2.access from your xbox controller to your PC (xbox controller to usb cable, or homebrew cutting the cord and connecting the wires technique, EXPLAINED LATER IN THIS THREAD!!!!)

Here are the steps.

1. Go to the official action replay website, and download their software

2. Download the XCtrl drivers (search it in yahoo or download off of this website)

3. Plug the controller into the PC (IF CONNECTING TO A HUB DOESN'T WORK, then plug it into the PC -thanks go out too WOOGER). It will say found new hardware. and direct it to where you installed the XCtrl drivers on your computer. Reboot

4.Plug the memory unit into the controller. It will say found new hardware. Direct it to where you installed the action replay software in the Driver folder. (or if you didnt change it, C:/Program Files/Datel/Action Replay Xbox/Drivers.Reboot

5. activate ActionReplayXbox.exe in the action replay folder, and voila, you now own an action replay, cool eh, but you didnt waste like 40 bucks.

--homebrew xbox controller to pc method--

You'll need
1.a usb cord(or cut an old mouse or something and salvage the cord from it,BUT MAKE SURE ITS USB!!)

2.an xbox controller, duh

Here's the steps

1.find a good place at the end of the xbox cord(i did it by where it plugs into the second part of the controller cord) carefully, strip all the wires (about a dimes length)

2.cut the usb cord and strip all the wires(about a dimes length)

3.match up wires and twist them together or solder them. except the yellow wire on the xbox controller cord. which you don't need, just snip it off

4.either tape them together which electrical tape them, or you can tidy it up a little bit and solder them. it still works out fine either way. "
