Modding Installed Games (nxe)

[Repoman 108]

i installed fable 2 onto my hard drive the other day and just now i was taking a look through the hard drive for it and i found it, its got about 43 files which arent in any type of container, no live/CON/map or pirs markers...does this mean we can mod fable 2 completely? also it has a single isolated file which is a CON file, it is smaller than the others and doesnt contain much info, is it possible to mod installed games? or even just edit a file so you no longer need the disc to play it?

[Korupt Data]

Nope all those files are encrypted....

[Repoman]

ahhk...well thats s***

I hope.... but i dunno if we cant mod halo 3 .maps i doubt we can mod these files.....

hmm...just a thought but there is a file in here which says "this is an installed game, please insert disc to play it" or something like that in there, so do you think there is some way that we could remove or edit this file so we dont need the disc to run the game? its a CON file so i dunno...

dont think so. when you install a game to your hdd it doesnt put all the infor form the disc on.

[Korupt Data]

The only thing i could think of is to boot up the game and after your 360 reads that the disk is in the tray. Have your 360 open and take the disk out kinda like hotswaping and you could use the disk in another system, like for lan parties.

The only thing the disc is needed in for, is to check that it's the correct disc. Once you start the game, you can open your DVD drive and take the game out. By opening your dvd drive, I mean disassembling like hotswapping. Once you do that, you cannot go to the dash or you have to start back form step 1.. I'll check out these 'con files' and see what I can do.

So far, nothing has been discovered because it still uses the disk for the .xex.

if someone deletes the file would it work?

No it dose not. you were talking to me when i tryed it. you also tryed it and it didnt work. why would you ask this if you know the answer?

Lol duhh it wouldnt work.... the file is missing. O___o

[yungbol]

Sometimes I really don't know why people make them post asking a question which they obviously know the answer. The answer to this whole topic is NO. Close this.

[Decatur]

Is there anyway to EDIT this con file so it skips checking?

[sillybob123]

No. Sorry not to my knowledge send me one and ill take a look

[Repoman 108]

I dont think you can do anything with that file. I just think its used to tell the player to insert the disk and thats all.

[sillybob123]

So far i cant see anything other than the message :

 

..T.h.i.s. .i.s. .a.n. .i.n.s.t.a.l.l.e.d. .g.a.m.e... .T.o. .p.l.a.y.,. .i.n.s.e.r.t. .t.h.e. .o.r.i.g.i.n.a.l. .g.a.m.e. .d.i.s.c..

Can you mod an XEX to mod Halo 3 like a dev kit, make modded maps, shove it on a stealthed disc, and install thta to play mods?

[iBotPeaches]

How do you then run your modded/custom XEX without a demo/dev kit? I might not be 100% right, but I believe you need either a demo or dev kit to run custom XEX's.

[blbassi]

the only signed file is the 44kb file in the root of the installed game (which is a con). the data files are just a jumbled bunch of game data that will be hard-impossible to sort out. but they are not signed with rsa...

no, the XEX file's signatures are still checked.

not without an exploit.

They're not hard-impossible to sort out. They're raw game data that has a very simple, yet efficient structure.
