I'm in the same boat. I have my xbox360 neighborhood setup and I can connect with it. I have peekpoker and can connect with that too. And somewhere along the lines I thought you were supposed to be able to connect artmoney to the xbox neighborhood process to do dumps. the peekpoker says you can dump with it but I don't know what option to use so I tried them all and the take a very long time. Peekpoker also says to get address info from artmoney but I'm stuck with that part. So maybe I'm supposed to get a smaller dump from peekpoker to use in artmoney but I don't know how. I used idapro to read the xex file but that took about an hour and a half. Then I put the info in ascension to try poking that way. I know I'm close but going in the wrong direction. Would someone please enlighten me as to which of these programs I need and the process to use them. I've read so many tuts but they go back and forth on which tools to use. I would like to use the xbox360 neighborhood, artmoney and peekpoker. Any info is appreciated. Thanks guys.

I'm also a noob to this. I was able to use simpledump and selected ram dump. I only used art money to search for my money. Just having trouble now poking but I believe that might be because I'm using a mac.

Dump the part of memory you want using PeekPoker or SimpleDump
Use Art Money to Search for (Your Value) using - File not Process (Learn to use ArtMoney)
When you find the right address use PeekPoker to
1.Peek the Memory Address and Set the Length You want to peek.
2. Use the Hex Viewer to change the value and then Poke.
Some times the values doesn't change if so (Refresh the xbox screen somewhow) or (You are poking/peeking the wrong address)


-If you have any problems with peekpoker report it or else the problem/s won't get fixed.
-You can use PeekPoker for searching and make it like Artmoney but Large files take too long.
-Do some research, use google and ask questions.

My Setup
I use Jtag and I don't have xbox 360 neigbourhood.
I have xbdm plugin on my JTag
My JTag is connected to a network.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks for the info pureIso. I used artmoney about 7-8yrs ago on the old xbox by way of processes to dump, search, redump and filter but this sounds fine. I am trying out SimpleDump360 and everytime I go to dump the memory I get "Error, the socket timed out because I hit a piece of memory I could not read at address 0x40150000. Try a different address or size." No matter what I choose it gives the same error. Using SimpleDump++ it will read but SimpleDump360 will not. Now I'm wondering if the info is wrong. Any ideas on the error?

I'm not having any luck either. SimpleDump360 gives me an error so I've been using SimpleDump++. No matter what I try I get no results. I am trying to just do money and eridium but none of the values show up no matter how I enter them.

Worked for me. Dumped RAM with simple dump, searched for money, filtered money with a different dump after I spent some, found it right away. Iridium was pretty close to money in my hex editor. Works for skill points and badass tokens pretty well too, but it doesn't seem to find experience for some reason.

Make sure you're not switching characters or exiting to the main menu when you're making multiple dumps to filter, since the memory locations don't seem to be static.

@lookinoverit
You're running the xbdm/memedit plugin on your jtag/rgh, and you have Neighborhood installed on your computer, right?

Yes, I have the xbdm.xex in my FSD plugins folder. My launch.ini points to it in the plugins section (Hdd:\FSD\plugins\xbdm.xex). My Xbox Neighborhood is set up on my PC. I can connect to my RGH with Xbox Neighborhood fine, browse files and launch games. My Peekpoker connects fine and I can get dumps using SimpleDump++. The process I've tried is; 1 - I start up SimpleDump++ and dump allocated memory which is 0x40000000 - 0x50000000 and save it as bl2 dump. 2 - I load the dump into artmoney and search for my money but I get no results at all. I've tried float and interger because I'm not sure which one to use but still no results. At this point I can't continue to do a second dump to filter since I can't get any results from the first try. I've even dumped it three seperate times and seached each of those just to make sure it wasn't the dump but no results on any of them. So right now I'm stuck here. I assume once I do get a result I have to spend money, redump as the same name, then filter in artmoney for the change until I get down to a result and either open the dump in hex editor workshop or peekpoker? And not really sure after that or how to use peekpoker yet. Also I am running the game from an external usb drive so I hope that doesn't matter. Hopefully you can let me know what I'm doing right or wrong. Thank you.

Dump ram instead of allocated data. That should give you search results.

Well I've dumped using the allocated and ram options and allocated takes about 45 seconds to a minute but the ram takes about 9-11 minutes in simple dump and about 20 minutes or longer in peek poker. Anyway when I get my dump I save as bl2_a. I load it in artmoney and search for my current money. I have found a few locations but when I spend some money, I go back to simple dump and dump again, it doesn't matter which option I use (allocated or ram) I have tried saving the dump as bl2_a, bl2_b, bl2_c. When I filter the search, all my locations I found are now gone. The list is blank. It doesn't matter if I use filter or search or wether I use bl2_a to search first and then dump and rename new dump to bl2_a or bl2_b. It all still goes blank. I just can't seem to figure out why it won't change or what is wrong. I use FSD to boot game with plugins correctly in the ini file. Simple Dump connects no problems. PeekPoker connects no problems. 360 neighborhood connects no problems even though I know some of you don't use it, it still connects fine. So it must be something with my process. Does the game have to run from a disc? Does it have to be installed on the xbox hdd? Can it be on an external usb hdd or run from a GOD container?

My whole process is:
1- turn on xbox and it boots into fsd
2- go to games directory and select borderlands 2 (game boots)
3- while game is booting, on my pc I launch Simple Dump, PeekPoker and Artmoney
4- when game loads I select my save and let it load
5- after my save is loaded I connect with Simple Dump and dump memory and save as bl2_a
6- I load that dump into artmoney and search for my money as an interger and it finds 2 addresses
7- I go back to game and spend some then re-dump and save the dump again. (I have saved as bl2_a and bl2_b because of having trouble with artmoney)
8- I go back to artmoney and try filter with new money number using new bl2_a as well as just search again and I have tried filter with bl2_b as well as search but adrresses are gone and list is empty.
9- I have put the 2 original found addresses into PeekPoker adding 40000000 to the artmoney address and the hex shows up on both but poking does nothing. Unless I'm using that wrong as well.
10- I'm lost????

Set Address to C0000000 and Length to 10000000

I have tried it several ways and on a few occasions I have gotten a few results but nothing changes in the game when I use Peek Poker. Unless I'm using it wrong. Thanks for the info though. Anything helps :). Dippidip has been spending a lot of his time trying to get me going using the RTCoD program but even that is not working. Every time I go to load the RTCod_SP_Launcher.xex it just kicks me back to the dash and the game never loads. The poor guy has been racking his brain for me. I don't know what else to try but thanks to all those who have constructive input. :)

if you are talking about RtCod 1.14, it won't work on Dash higher than 14699
for PeekPoker's poke function to work, Length must be set to 240 or lower

Thank you very much for the info. I happen to just find that out tonight. I was also told that I could have stayed on my favorite dash which was 13604 and never had any of these problems but everyone told me I had to update my RGH to 14719 in order to play Borderlands 2. Apparently I could have left it where I was perfectly happy but, "live and learn" I guess. Since I did not have the resistor removed on my my mobo it seems there's no going back. Anyway, my problems are over. RTCoD was a big problem trying to use that until it was found that it could not be used on my dash version. The way I was originally doing it was correct and I was very close but it seems I was just using one of the tools incorrectly. SO....... a BIG THANK YOU to my new friend Dippidip who worked tirelessly to get me going. He was familiar with his way but took the time to do it my way and figured out where I was going wrong. Thanks to all who gave input and thanks again Dippidip. You are a true gentleman.

Can max inventory be modded this way? Usable inventory, not just like the adding 200 guns and still having 12 slots.
