Finnaly i need help finding a torturial on how to get halo2 files from the PC to the Xbox and making the mods work. Thanks for spendig your time reading this post, and hopefuuly reading this.
Well, yes you gotta flash your chip with a bios. Get one from the usual places(can't tell you where).
After that is done, all you should have to do is load up your dashboard and then ftp to your xbox(use a program such as FlashFXP; ftp programs are a lot easier to use than say, the command prompt ftp or Internet Explorer's FTP although you can use those too). Also, the mods on this site are not maps in themselves(for the most part). You have to patch your map off of your Halo DVD and, in the case of H2, put the modded map and a few support maps and a fonts folder on your Hdd somewhere.
Ahh, the simplicity of Halo 1 modding. You would only have to load up a cache to test out the map. Oh well, H2 is easier to make the mods more permanent. No compressing required.
