:wizard:Javierabegazo has taken the liberty of updating. The outdated FAQ is here
Modding on the Xbox 360 is about as easy as eating Waffles.
Following common sense, no one needs me to say that it's always prudent to keep a folder of all your save files as Backups in case you mess up a modding code and the file ends up corrupted. Don't be scared, like I said, it's easy as eating Waffles.
The official Xbox Live update from a year ago enabled USB memory drive options.
****
You'll need 3 tools, a USB device, a Save File Extracting/Injecting Program, and a Save File Editor.
******************* You'll need: *********************
1) USB Device
How to format a USB flash drive as a storage device for the Xbox 3602) Save File Extracting/Injecting Program, Modio
3) Save Editing Program: Pordis Shepard's customized Mass Effect 2 Gibbed Save Editor
*Highly Recommended* or the old Gibbed's Mass Effect 2 Save Editor Xbox360
***************************************************************************
The actual mod process is very simple, and once you get the hang of it, modding will take you easily less than 5 minutes.
- Put Shepard Career Save on USB with Xbox
- Open Shepard Career Save with "Modio" on PC
- Extract individual Save File (i.e. 021.xbsav) and open extracted save with "Gibbed Save Editor"
- Make changes/mod values to Save File, save the changes in "Gibbed Save Editor"
- Inject newly modded Save File into Shepard Career Save with "Modio" on PC
- Rehash/Resign, then Save to Device with "Modio" on PC
- Play Mass Effect 2 without tedium and with fun new Abilities on Xbox
Throughout the FAQ, I will be assuming that you make:
1. A folder for Backup Save Files
2. A folder for save files you will be modding
The Steps:
In MEMORY of the Xbox Dashboard, find the Shepard Career file you wish to mod and move it from your Xbox HDD onto your newly formatted USB MEMORY STICK Unplug your USB and plug it into your PC Open Modio, and click on OPEN FROM DEVICE
Click through Mass Effect 2, and click on your desired Career you wish you mod. Click on the top-right tab, FILE CONTENTS
Right-click on the save file you wish you mod, and click EXTRACT TO and put it where ever you are keeping your save files to be modded.*Smart Tip: If you have never made a backup of this career, click on [Show File] and Copy---do not move---the career file to your backup directory. If your career is ever corrupted, you can use a copy of this career file, along with your game saves to recover.
Open Gibbed Save Editor and open up your extracted save file and it will look something like this:
From here you can do a great many number of things.
*Smart Tip #2*
If you see a really cool Shepard on the database, plug in the face codes into Gibbed Editor. The next time you open the game save you can EXPORT the Headmorph and keep a Folder full of Headmorphs that you can switch in and out and easily give your Shepard a makeover
After modding, click SAVE and either overwrite the save you opened or you can just rename it as the next successive save, like instead of 021.xbsav, you can rename it 022.xbsav so that you keep the prior one as an unmodded backup save In Modio, right click on the FILE CONTENTS, and then click INJECT FILE and insert your modded save file. Click on the top-left tab, GENERAL FILE INFO and click REHASH & RESIGN and then click SAVE TO DEVICE
