This is NOT about cheating, it is about modding. I have an xbox 360 that I mod when I am bored. I can only mod the new maps because I can not get the other maps from the disc. I was exploring my hard drive when I came across a huge file called CACHE0001. it was 580 MB big i think. I was wondering if I just cleared my catche, loaded up 1 campaign map, took the new cache(capmaign map) modded it, and then put it back? Would it work? Sorry this is so long but I needed to be specific.

No.. because the engine will check its checksum and find it is corrupt, and so will replace. I could be wrong though, why dont you just try it

Good idea haha I will go try it later tonight because I am going to a party right now. When I am done I will tell you guys if it worked or not. This could be a brakethrough if it works. Everyone else feel free to give me your opinion.[/i]

The cache files aren't regular map files.
And the game only caches things like textures, models, and sounds.

^^^very true, however that means you might be able to inject bitmaps without any trouble

But as far as I know, there are no tools that exist to do that, so unless you want to figure it out yourself, your best bet is to mod a skin in shared.map on a modded xbox, let it generate the cache files, and then move those cache files to your 360.

I dont have a modded xbox, i sold it for my 360 a while ago. Okay I am gona go do this wish me luck lol. ill just edit this post when im done.
EDIT1: I LOADED UP CARIO STATION AND THEN CATCHE004 WAS CARIO STATION!!!!!!! I AM GOING TO MOD IT AND THEN PUT IT BACK ON MY 360 AND SEE IF IT WORKS. SRY FOR THE CAPS
Edit2: Ok it didnt go as well when I loaded it up. In dot halo I modded the battle rifle and then put it back onto my hard drive. When I started the level however nothing was different. Why? Did it load the map from my CD or from my hard drive?
Edit3: When I took re-extracted the cache002 it looked like nothing was even changed. my theory- mod the cache however u want but when you play that level it loads it from your CD. Whats the point of even having cache then? I am taking another cache from a different spot in my hardrive, modding it, and then seeing if that does anything. I will do another edit.
