Description

The Basics Of ModdingMany new people to come to the modding community, and many of them often have issues with modding. So I created this thread to teach you the basics.

RequirementsIf your new to the modding scene, you will need to have these things to start modding. Many of you might even have these already.

1. USB Drive- When modding your xbox, you will almost always need a flash drive. Flash drives are the easiest way to transfer data from your PC to xbox. Flash drives can be around 1$ to 15$ depending on the size, you will only need 1GB unless your transferring huge files.
   
2. Computer- This is a ESSENTIAL to modding, you will need a computer to mod. You can use Macs but you may need to install Bootcamp for many programs.You dont need any high quality computers,even single core computers can be used.
   
3. Software- Obviously your gonna need software, most tools out there are not huge when it comes to file size. In the past, finding software I need is a pain so I decided to upload a RAR containing all you will really need to start modding. Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/7s99rs...ModKit.zip
   

What You Need To KnowBefore you start modding there are some basic things you need to know. You will need a program to extract files from your USB stick, there is no way to open the files without a program. Tweaking windows settings and showing hidden files will not work either. Also keep in mind, modding is a risk meaning that you can be banned or marked as a cheater. Most of these small usb mods wont get you banned, you have more of chance of getting a warning or reset depending on the mod and game.Lastly, any mods having to do with JTAG and RGH cannot be done without modding your Xbox 360's hardware. I will not explain how to do these because they are hard to do and cost around 30-40$ depending on which kits you use.

ErrorsSome times when modding I run into problems, most of these errors can be resolved. A common one you might see is "Invalid STSF Package", normally to fix this I usually just redo the steps I did, always make sure you have a backup of your profile or gamesave whichever your modding.Other than that error I almost have no issues. Feel free to PM about any issues you have modding and Ill add them to the thread.

Be ResponsibleModding is fun to do but be RESPONSIBLE, ruining the game for other players is not fun and you probably wouldn't like it either. Doing illegal mods come with consequences, by illegal mods I mean illegally downloading isos and more.

Happy Modding!
