(Tut) How To Extract Halo Reach Screenshots

[gruntmods]

Ok guys, im going to be showing you how to use the screenshot extractor in Grunt Modder to extract your screenshots from a CON to a jpg image. Its rather straight forward so here we go.

Tools you will need:

1GB capacity or higher USB Stick (You can use an hard drive as well if you are familiar with how to transfer files from your hard drive and have the equipment)

Halo Reach

Grunt Modder

Please note this tutorial was written on the version of Grunt Modder that was availible at the time. Before reach is out the newer version will be out and will be slightly different, but nearly identical.

First you will need to update your xbox 360 (If it isn't already running the USB update), simply connect it to xbox live and you will be prompted to update.

After a semi lengthy update, plug in your Usb device and go to memory. Click on your Usb device, then select configure. Your 360 will format your memory stick. (If you have data it might be erased, so I suggest backing it up first.)

After this is completed, go to your hdd and copy the data to your Usb. (In this case you want to copy the screenshots you want to extract) Then unplug the usb after this is completed.

Plug the Usb into your computer. Open Grunt Modder and go to the utilities.

Select USB XTAF Explorer (The hard drive icon)

Navigate the file structure until you see the screenshot file you copied.

You can either drag or extract one file at a time (multi file support was kind of forgotten about, we have that fixed in the next update) for this tutorial I will right click and hit extract.

The program will open the file for preview. You can also view and edit the gamertag and description of the CON file, but we will not do that in this tutorial.

Click on the menu and hit "Extract".

how is that easier? If your doing alot of pictures and have a slow upload, or if you don`t have xbox live this is much easier. Or if its a picture taken on a jtag.
