Okay, I may be wrong, but is it not illegal to edit the .XBE file?

I have seen people try to do this on a few other sites, one of which we are not to speak about on HaloMods, and have yet to see success. If this is indeed legal, then please, share with us how it is done, because I'd greatly like to do the same thing.

Changing the string only won't do the trick, theres more to it than that (unless your just changing it to another drive letter). Mike would be able to explain it better

in the tdata file the halo 2 content is located theres a sub folder with a.xbe move that to the halo 2 folder u want with the au's then replace it with the default .xbe and it will give you updates on one and no update on the other.
