Don't you sometimes have to register stuff in system32 with windows. Not sure but that could possibly be the problem.

What exactly does this do?

It allows you to add the ability to connect with an xbox running a debug bios to your .Net programs.

yes <_< that <_<

So I went ahead and posted my current version of this...for the most part you shouldn't need to use xboxdbg.dll so that should eliminate most of the problems I've been seeing. Let me know if you guys have any more problems. Also I suggest using xbdm.dll v5455 when working with Halo 1 or 2 as it doesn't take up as much memory as v5933.

Thank you very much for updating it, hopefully I will be able to use this now. I appreciate all the work this must have taken.

I <3 you

um sry for the noobish request... can someone post a tutorial on how to use it... Thanks

Learn how to program using a .Net language.

i know a little bit of C...

What do you want to do with it, or do you just want to "use" it?

well i wanna do what every1 says it can do, edit maps on the fly...
itd be cool to do anything else it can do too

Add the DLL to your C# application and use the references in the DLL. You have to know a moderate amount of programming to use it, though.

dang... forgot all of my vbs... dont know C

EDIT: wait can i use this with Entity?

I'm trying to use entity v1.6
I know this program is probably the reason for failing but..

I was Just curious,
I connect to my xbox using a debug IP address then a make a meta edit to say, battle rifle [proj] and change it to beam rifle [proj]

I hit save then as soon as I click 'sync xbox' The map on my xbox freezes
Any ideas?
Should I maybe use xbox7887's YeloDebug.dll and replace it with entity 1.6's original RthDLL.dll?
Would this solve freezing problems?
I just cannot create programs at this time.

*edit* don't worry I sorted it out.
Took a really pathetically long time, but i managed to connect to a debug IP and make safe changes through RTH without freezing, WOOT!
Oh and I'm using entity beta 1.3

You should have been using that version in the first place. It's the last and best version of Entity.

Gawsh I'm sorry.
I find it annoying that even a simple change like a BSP lightmap edit will crash the map in RTH.

Actually, only ONE version of Entity can do Real Time Halo. 1.5 UE. And the game freezing is normal. That means it is poking the memory. Wait a few minutes for it to finish. And I don't think replacing the DLL with do anything. The original DLL is made for Entity and this is just made for programmers.

Hmm? Not really, I've used 1.3 for RTH many times and it works fine.
