XBox 360 Mods

[Vinny Cap]

I was curious if anyone on TST has any experience with Modding the XBox 360.  My son wants to do some mods to GTA5 and shows me these silly YouTube videos that only talk about doing it.  They don't show actual instructions.  I was trying to explain to him I need file info, what to do with it, where to put it and so on.... you don't just download a file, waive your magic wand and Wolla! 

If anyone has any info, pointers or tips it would be appreciated.

Thanks!  VC

Based on the people who ask me for computer help, this is exactly what people think I do all day.

Looks like gta5-mods.com has a lot of tools, mods, and a forum with a sub-forum for installation help:

The instructions and file paths and whatnot seem to be right there.

Thanks guys!  I checked those out and they look to be PC mods not 360 ones.

Not bad instructions but PC.  I will keep looking on forums to see if I can find something that is for the 360, not linked to a virus file and has decent instructions.

I thought that the GTA mods were really just for pc and even then aren't supported by rockstar games.  To do things on Xbox might involve a bit of hardware adjustment just to get started and even then there are probably restrictions on what is possible.  

I have also heard stories of people sending their Xbox and some money to a 'reputable hacker' to get the hacks applied with varying results.

i was involved with an unreal tournament mod back in the day and it is a great way to get into game development.  If you have a pc then there are lots of games that officially support modders (like giving out instructions on how to do it).  If your son is interested that would be the best way to go.  If it has to be Xbox and it has to be gta5 then I think it might be a more complicated situation.

Thanks Zappy.  It is an odd situation.

I see a lot of Mods and stuff for the PC but all his friends are on Xbox so that's what he wants to do... of course... don't make it easy on Dad!

He has shown me a lot of videos and I can tell when they are on the PC and when they are on Xbox.  99% of the ones for Xbox do not show any thing about doing it.  They talk about it while playing then show this modded menu pop up.  I show him the comments from tons of people asking to show how to do it, not talk about it.
