Okay so here's a question for you guys. I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere so far...

1) grabbed the torrent
2) unrared
3) ftp'd to my xbox in the folder where my games are
4) I see the entry to run the Halo 2 Maps Installer
5) Try to execute it, or the default.xbe in the folder, my entire xbox hangs. Blank screen, nothing.

I've downloaded it twice and transferred it 5-6 times, same problem. Seems to work for everyone else. I believe my torrent + rar is good. Is there any way to install by hand? Does anyone have a clue?

I tried it again but for the 1000 time i dindn't work
I have the french pirate version of halo2 is this maybe a reasen why it wont work?

I made the map E:/Tdata/4d530064 empty and then installed the update and right after that the mappacks (killtacular and bonus). Then i rebooted my xbox. Then i placed the update map with the $C map in E:/Tdata/4d530064 After that i placed halo2 in the drive and started the game. Wan's again.. NO NEW MAPS.

Whats wrong!!? Do i have to empty more maps!? my profiels are still there when i have emptyed the 4d530064 map?

I hope you understand my problem ;)

Do a fresh install. Find the folder 4d530064 in E:/TDATA/ and delete it. Delete the cache in X, Y, and Z folders, and also Halo 2 game saves. Boot Halo 2 up and play, then save the game. Put in the disc that you've burnt and choose "Update" then install the maps. Take out the disc, go back to Evox and use FTP. Check the folder 4d530064 again and you should see a $C folder, inside it there are 3 more folders. Find the folder with the word UPDATE at the end and move it to the same root as the $C folder, and rename it to $u. Reboot Xbox and load up Halo 2, the new maps should appear in Multiplayer mode. If not then I don't know what could be wrong. Unless you have some kind of modified Halo 2 maps installed also, then they might be conflicting each other.

oke i tryed it again! dindt work. I think its my halo2 version whats the problem. Iam gona download a new wan.

Very strange is that when i go to the normal Microsoft Dashboard and then go to memory it says HALO 2 MAPPACKS INSTALLED!!! so i dont get it.. why does HALO2 not see it.
With Systemlink i can load the map if the other xbox is hosting. But i can not host the Maps myself!!!? :S :S :S

It's probably your copy of Halo 2 then cuz it should work if you follow the instructions.

I have loaded the update...the bonus pack and the killtacular pack in that order. I cannot play the killtacular maps....it sais failed to load. I have deleted the folders and such and tried again but the same thing happens for both killtacular maps. The map icons show up and everything and it ALMOST works. Other maps work fine. Any suggestions?

No I don't think it will work because you need to patch the game to accomodate the new maps I believe, I could be wrong though but try and see.

Nope, all the maps should work. Maybe yours is corrupted.

just a quick one, probably a silly question, i replaced the xbox fan with a cool 8cm one with 4 diff coloured led's. I switched the fan speed with the 12v mod (split the black ground wire and taped it to the heat shield), noisy as hell by the way, but the led's shine much much brighter.

anyway, the fan blades face the same way round as the xbox fan did before it, but it blows a friggin gail out the back of the xbox, i assumed it would need turning around if thats the case as the gadgets inside would want all the nice air blowing over them....is this the case, do xbox fans and normal pc case fans spin the same way, am i talking out my ass...someone please advise before i take it to bits again and turn the fan round....

its just that i sat and watched the cpu temp go up right infront of me on the 'dashboard' settings screen.

regards...jim

Does anyone have this file that they can give to me? I see the instructions on how to install it onto my modded xbox...but not where to get it.

Thanks.
