I am working on making a Trainer for Halo 1 on the Xbox.

It needs to be in .etm or .xbtf so it will work with Xored or Evo-x.

I haven't seen ANY of these kinds of Trainers for Halo 1, and I thought the community would need one because the IPS Trainers for Halo 1 are complicated to use, and with this one you don't need to patch the default.xbe for Halo 1 or put Halo on your HDD.

I need some people that know what they are doing and would be willing to help, if you are interested, contact me! =]

Anyone??

I really need help, you will credit where due also! =]

Posted: **Sun Apr 22, 2007 9:43 am**

I've talked to xbox7887 multiple times about something like this, the ips trainer and dev trainer combined, but I doubt he's gonna help.

Posted: **Sun Apr 22, 2007 9:48 am**

Finally someone posts! lol

I talked to him also, but he didn't really tell me anything, if you want to help just tell me! =]

I don't care who helps, as long as you can! =]

Once we get something done I will need beta testers also, but that's later, you will get credit also if you help!

I personally know nothing about trainers, but I could beta test later, I also have an idea on how to get it working. Get on AIM.

Heres the source to the Halo 1 trainer I released in the screencap package (minus the gamefreeze code since that information was given to me by Kornman00). It's really poorly written but maybe you can learn a few things from it. There's also a bunch of random code snippets that don't really do anything since I was too lazy to finish

Xbox, you said the gamefreeze thing was given to you, why was it never put into a trainer?

Posted: **Sun Apr 22, 2007 5:47 pm**

It was, but I took it out of the source because it's not my information to give out...

The devcam you released didn't have it, unless you updated it and I didn't notice.

Posted: **Tue Apr 24, 2007 8:24 am**

Thanks for that source, I'm sure it will come in handy, but I still need some people to help me.

Some things I want to put in this Trainer is the inf ammo, and inf health, that kind of stuff, because I need to use this for Campaign and making Gamesaves.

I don't think I can make a devcam or anything, because I am not that good yet, that is why I need some help.

Posted: **Tue Apr 24, 2007 12:31 pm**

I have that one app, xbox trainer maker, i'm guessing it makes trainers. I'm gonna try it out and see if it can help at all.

Posted: **Tue Apr 24, 2007 3:41 pm**

I have no clue if that will work, but I will look at it also.

I checked, it's Halo2 only. I just patched my default.xbe with the ips patch, found it on my HD a few minutes ago. This is a question directed at xbox, but can be answered by anyone who knows, how did you get the source from the etm, I was trying to get the patched xbe's source, but I don't know how really.
EDIT: Coco get on AIM.

Posted: **Tue Apr 24, 2007 4:20 pm**

I don't think that trainer maker will do it alone. I beleive you need IDA pro, XboxDisasm and other crap to get a raw dump of memory, break, poke a value, break for changes, get a memory address, then an XBE address, then you would put it in the Trainer maker i beleive.

Unless im thinking of a different program.

Posted: **Tue Apr 24, 2007 6:28 pm**

LAWL, I don't think you guys understand the amount of work and skill that goes into making these damn things

Here's a few pointers that may help you get started (and if you don't know anything about x86 assembly you might want to learn that as well - http://modseven.de/dictionary.php)...download xdkassist, artmoney, ida pro, trainer source (masm compiler), and please just forget all about that trainer maker tool, it won't help you at all since you'll be writing it in notepad or some other ide instead. Typically you will have all of those programs open, your xbe disassembled, xdkassist connected and performing memdumps while searching for changes in the values with artmoney. Once you find the addresses of the values, you can set breakpoints with xdkassist and get the address of the command that writes to those values which allows you to go over to the disassembly and do what you please with the code, whether it be nop'ing out the command or hooking into the gamecode and jumping to your custom codecave inside the trainer. If you have the xdk installed on your computer you may also want to look into debugging with visual studios 2003 which makes things a hell of alot easier.

Now the problem with training halo 1 is that all of these methods described above will not work ;P The only way in would be to disassemble the xbe and look through millions of lines of assembly. I got around this by writing a little trainer that dumped the memory directly to the hdd, but this process was slow and tedious and is the main reason I never finished my halo 2 devcam port to halo 1. Basically you would have better luck hacking halo 2 than anything else, it's fairly easy and I'll always be there to help out...

Posted: **Wed Apr 25, 2007 12:09 pm**

Yep. Not as easy as you may think, I remember I tried going for Trainer making and once I figured the amount of work, I decided I'll just leave it to Xbox since he's got the skills.

Posted: **Thu Apr 26, 2007 4:33 pm**

I just want to make a quick easy Trainer for Halo 1 so I can use it with Campaign.

I am VERY glad you are here to help me Xbox, =]
