Xbox Intermediate: Getting Halo 2 on your normal HDD
Posted: Wed Mar 01, 2006 3:13 pm
Now for all the people who think I am going to tell you how to do this after upgrading you're HDD, you are wrong. This is a tutorial for a normal HDD, the one the xbox comes with. I am the one who wrote this tutorial, not the one who discovered the way to do this.
Anyway how to do this.
1 You need flash FXP or a similar FTP client, and a lot of time.
Open up FXP and connect to your xbox. Then put in your disk and let it load but dont start game. When it is loaded go to your D drive. Copy the whole folder that says D onto your computer into a clean empty folder called Halo 2. This is the long part. It will take a few hours at max. Get a good book or somthing. When it is done open it up and take out all the single player maps under the maps section. This includes the singleplayershared.map. Leave all the other maps in there. Then FTP it back into your E drive under games and continue reading your book or whatever. When it is done you should have Halo 2 on your HDD. What can i do with this you ask? Well you can play Halo 2 without the disk so now you can loan your halo-less friends the disk for money and still play it. Also the greater benefit is that you can mod the old maps and that is a reason for living all by itself.
The founder of this is my friend Ler999.
If anyone gets credit it should be him.
