Spreading the truth man
* 3. With the new HDD in the Xbox, use the game save exploit to install a permanent exploit.
==What Preparations==Softmodding an Xbox is... involved (unless you use the hot-swapping method, which has no special requirements apart from a PC with PATA interface). You need a few pieces of equipment that may be hard to come by (i.e. an Action Replay), several programs, and a suitable PC environment to go from start to finish. To make things easier, you should ensure that you have everything you needbefore you get started. You should also be comfortable with some technical tasks, such as using an FTP client, adding/removing and setting jumpers on IDE HDD's, using command-line programs (nothing too complicated), and accessing xbins (see the next section). ===Phase 1: Game save exploit=======Equipment====* A legitimate copy of '''007 Agent Under Fire''', '''Mech Assault''', or '''Splinter Cell'''. (Note that not all versions of these games support the exploits.)* An '''Action Replay''' or some other method of transferring save files to an Xbox memory card
* An official, Microsoft-branded memory card (while the Action Replay does come with a memory card, it's cheaply made and is likely to become corrupted)
====Software====* Some technical know-howUXE installer by Krayzie (xbins: /XBOX/Console Based Applications/exploits/_Packages/Krayzie Uxe Installer/) ===Phase 2: Upgrading the HDD=======Equipment====** How to use FTPA computer with at least one IDE port.** How to add/remove IDE A new HDD. It must be lockable (I's and set the jumperll explain this later).====Software====** How Lots of stuff... ===Phase 3: Installing the exploit to access xbins, where most of the files you need are located (explained below)HDD===
==Xbins==
To access xbins, you need an IRC client and an FTP client. Just about any IRC client will work (I use mIRC in Windows and Konversation in Ubuntu), but xbins is very particular about the type of FTP client you use: it requires an FTP client that does not attempt to use multiple connections to download files. It recommends FlashFXP, SmartFTP, and CuteFTP.
==Game save explot (007)==
I only have access to '''007 Agent Under Fire''', so that is what I'll assume you have for this section. The steps for '''Mech Assault''' and '''Splinter Cell''' should be very similar, differing only in how you boot the exploit from the game, but you will need to locate another source for specific instructions for those games (for now).
