Questions and Answers: Q: Can I mod Halo 3 without a development kit or a JTAG Xbox 360?
A: Yes, but there are limits to, you can only mod a Map Variant, not the whole .MAP File. For example, you cannot mod a projectile as the Map Variant doesent have control over what your weapon shoots.
Q: Why do I need a Development Kit or a JTAG Xbox 360?
A: The reason is because when you mod a .MAP file, the encryption signatures do not match and the Xbox 360 will not allow the game to be played with a invalid encryption signature.
Whenever I have time to post a few more, I will. _________________________________________________________
