I am going to make a all in one thread of all the information I have given out so far so the same questions will not be asked.

 

What has happened? XeNoN7 and I have found a way to modify Halo 3.

 

You must have a XDK right? No we do not use a stock XDK

 

So then you must have a Halo 3 map resigner? No Halo 3 is near impossible to hack without a way of running homebrew it is a slim to none chance there will ever be a Halo 3 map resigner.

 

Then what did you use? A stock Xbox360.

 

Then how does it run homebrew did you use the hypervisor exploit? No unfortunately it is much more complicated then that. There is hardware involved. You may or may not already know but there is another way to make your stock 360 run homebrew with parts from another system, What system you may ask? A xbox development kit. It is possible to create a Devkit out of your own stock xbox360 with a few devkit parts making it a hybrid xbox360. We learned however that such machines can actually access both xbox live and partnernet alike. We discovered this by mistake when running the stock360 dashboard. This is why such methods are dangerous to the public.

 

Cool how do I upgrade my 360 to a hybrid? (update)

Its a xbox360 upgraded with XDK parts. Unfortunately the only way to do this is have unused parts for the xbox360 and build your own, that or have M$ do it. I know 3 people with upgraded xbox360s to XDK which is a hybrid (which was the nickname I gave it) of two different versions of xbox360 parts. The software however takes on the form of xdk but for what ever reason Xenon7's can access live according to him for what ever reason which is why we chose to keep it secret but now since xenon7 is volunteering to give up this information. We still not going to give out information where we received the parts nor how it is made. (I myself really don't even have the basics of building one). In short its a upgraded xbox360 with xdk software.

 

For such a complicated system you sound like you know nothing about it. We XeNoN7 on the contrary does, however he had a friend supply the parts for him and XeNoN7 upgraded it himself. However he seems to know a lot about the process. I however am using a friends hybrid that he was supplied to by a separate guy. I do not always have access to my hybrid nor do I know really how it is built that is XeNoN7's area.

 

So how exactly did you get the mods to work? Despite what many may think having a XDK or a upgraded 360 hybrid doesn't make maps automatically load. Instead XeNoN7 and I worked on a rather beautiful tool that real time halo's the mods in through the network! Thats right. However this is another reason why we won't release information about much hybrid360's its because of the fact that if you can stream the mods into a game and access live, then you can certainly go into matchmaking undetected and then turn the mods on ingame. We do not support cheating.

 

Thats cool but hasn't this been done before? No the last instance of halo 3 moding was used on a STOCK XDK with a edited xex to run halo 3 maps off the hardrive without flagging them down for not having the correct signature. This was done by kornman, this isn't the same method.

 

Is this tool like engineer? Our tool makes engineer look like dothalo compared to entity. XeNoN7 made sure it did everything correctly and allowed meta to be read beyond map and made it so tons more tags were labeled and the features on it are amazing. I assisted in the debugging and fine tuning of the app. I also brainstormed Ideas for drastic improvement that has made it into the app itself.

 

How does this help me? XeNoN7 will be releasing plugins and other things from the app on halomods.

 

Does the app let me mod my maps and run them? No you will need to wait for a custom homebrew kernel to come out. and no I'm not talking about an exploitable kernel. I am talking about a kernel edited by modders to run homebrew right off the dash. This is the safest way for mods to be accomplished while keeping xbox live safe.

You should add 3 to the title because it really through me off. I though it was about the first halo 1.

this guy does mod......... but...... anthony can resign the maps and also calculates the checksum. Xenon was helped by kornman and anthony. and yes there(Xenon & Shadow) using a custom modified xbox but not a XDK
