I'd like to thank Sephiroth for helping provide the offsets and designing a sexy new GUI <3

Note - This will only work with editing the Disk files, This is NOT a SAVE EDITOR!

2.5
This update includes -
- The ability to edit more features within the Bigfiles.
- More weapons added to the app, However only the Plasma Cutter is functional, We will release regular updates in the next few days as well as attempting new findings to add to the application.
- Edits Both Bigfile0's (Disk 1 and 2)
- Super special awesome re-vamped GUI

Update 2.6
- Added support for the Italian and German version of the game.
- Added Pulse Rifle, Line Gun and Plasma Cutter Extra's.
- Fixed some bugs that occured, such as super short range kinesis :P

Update 2.7
- Added all weapons to the appropriate tabs and added their modded features
- Fixed some bugs you guys were experiencing.

Update 3.0
- Added support for the PS3 PAL version of the game.

Update 3.1
-Added support for the PS3 NTSC version of the game.

This is most likely the LAST update we will be doing, Nothing major will be added to the tool now, We have had a good 3 days of coding and testing for the game and tool, and hope that it brings joy to the modding community. We're done.

Sephiroth's Max Ammo Method.

- So as you know, When you use the tool to Max the Ammo of the weapon, it will appear as default, So basically go and sell your weapon at the store, and purchase it again and it will have Max Ammo.
- You see guys? Don't waste credits on buying ammo for the gun, sell the damn thing and re-buy voila! H4x.

Invincibility Method -
- When you use the tool for infinite health, It will show your HP as red, You will need to go and get a new suit for this effect to take place.

Credit Farming Method
- When you obtain the Detonator weapon, You can place a mine, and then disarm it, and sell it at the store for 200 credits.

So..

99 Mines x 200 credits = 19800 credits
Now you can sell the weapon and get 4000 credits, Rinse and repeat.
5 Minutes of work is equal to 23800.

Power node glitch
- The Save Station in the is located on Chapter 14 after the anti-gravity section. Shortly after sticking your eye with needle, you'll be chased by the necromorph that doesn't die. You'll eventually reach the anti-gravity section. After you pass the anti gravity section, you go through two doors and on your right will be a door requiring a power node for access. This is room that replenishing the items. You'll find the Save Station two more doors if you head left from that T intersection.

Steps (read description above to locate starting point):
1. Unlock the door with a power node. Title above door: 6: Secure Storage, Power Node Access Only
2. Advance through two more doors to reach a Store, Bench, and Save Station.
3. Save at Save Station after the anti-gravity section on Chapter 14.
4. Reload the save point by quitting to main menu
5. Back track to the anti-gravity area (most of time you can go directly to the room). Once you get back to the anti-gravity area, go back through the last two doors and go into the room on your right. This is the room that required a power node to open. Inside this room is where I find either 2 power nodes, 1 ruby semiconductor, and/or 3k credit.
6. Go back to Save Station and save the game.
7. Repeat steps 4-6

NOTE: if you start finding only credits in the room, try going all the way back to the switch in the antigravity area, then go to the room. Doing this has reset the 2 power nodes for me.
Credit goes to - jpric18

Here is a video of the glitch in action.

Thanks, you put this out pretty fast. I modded the other weapons such as the Line Weapon. you can make the shots stretch all the way across the screen when you fire it. I think I changed the vaule to "999" or "99". I will check when I get home if you want the info. Nice tool


Update: In your "about" section, you are talking about Sonic Unleashed, just a heads up

Update: In your "about" section, you are talking about Sonic Unleashed, just a heads upLMAO, Yeah just copied the about section from my SU Source, Too lazy to type it all out again haha, Will have it removed by tomorrow...lol wutafailureiam XD

[blacksnight]

sorry for the nob question but how do u extract the Bigfile ????

[Renegade]

sorry for the nob question but how do u extract the Bigfile ????By using one of the many ISO extraction tools. You will need the ISO of the game in order to modify this file.

[Sephiroth]

i used con manager 1.4

[Creeative316]

your a god amongst men there dude thanks for the program :D

[aubrey76]

Have you been able to locate the "Credits" or "Nodes" offsets yet.... After modding all the weapons and shit, I gave up on looking for the night, I will get back to it tomorrow

[Renegade]

Have you been able to locate the "Credits" or "Nodes" offsets yet.... After modding all the weapons and shit, I gave up on looking for the night, I will get back to it tomorrowWill search tomorrow.

[jkipp82]

im glad at this release but will this affect the verification of the game through abgx?

[EmuBoarding]

Thx, im try! =)

[BrayWyatt]

hope to see a save editor soon.

[qnu7days]

hope to see a save editor soon.
i hope it will be release b4 i start hardcore it would make that easier.

[jkipp82]

if you just edit the bigfile you can play hardcore and have inf health yea i know that its really hardcore cheating but hey its something.

[BrayWyatt]

not everybody has a jtag 360. :) unless you can do that in the save somehow. like the CoD games. i have yet to start the 360 version. ive already beat the ps3 version. if anybody wants to check out the save (ps3) for it. just pm me for it.

[superthug]

so this Bigfile Editor only works if you have a Jtag xbox360?

[Creeative316]

nope you can use it with a flashed 360 as well just xtract he bigfile.0 using x360 and mod what u want and repleace and burn using verbatim dl +r works a treat :D

[blacksnight]

anyone know where i can find a ISO extraction tools to extract the Bigfile.?

[kratos]

you don't have to extract the bigfile, you only need to extract the iso file.

if you do mod it to play on flashed 360, it will work but abgx won't verify it. I know that cause I have done it with dantes inferno.

[BrayWyatt]

can the game save be hexed to get credits/nodes?

[Creeative316]

you don't have to extract the bigfile, you only need to extract the iso file.

if you do mod it to play on flashed 360, it will work but abgx won't verify it. I know that cause I have done it with dantes inferno.

yeah but the campaign can be played offline though for peeps who can"t afford a jtagg yet :)

[BrayWyatt]

when i do start the game. do you think that you could do it for me? and, i could also send you my ps3 save as well.

[iggy123]

thanks iv been tryin to mees around wit the tool with no luck ill try this out

[buster12]

Renegade & sephiroth thanks
Will you be working on a fix for the save game file? can it be done?

Would be nice if someone made a TUT using
ISO Extraction of file
editing and then re creating ISO
Just a thought

Great work

[Creeative316]

well you ll need wx360 or other methods to open your iso

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/9954/ferk.png

and it should look like this :)

http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/4628/ferk2.png

then after you finish right click on bigfile0.viv and replace

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/7949/ferk3.png



not the best tut but i hope it helps :)

[Insane JIC]

So this app will only work on Jtags right?

[Creeative316]

nope it ll work on flashed 360"s as well there dude

[lovexbox]

nice work guys!
with some "Credits" and "Nodes" would be even better.

[Creeative316]

nice work guys!

that ll be pretty awsome credits and nodes maxed out :)

[madasahat]

wow really? :-r
U dont need a jtag this is an ISO mod ffs, I have burnt the mods and abgx still varifies this game, I was playing with multiplayer mods :) this is just like the iso mod for dantes inferno

[madasahat]

you don't have to extract the bigfile, you only need to extract the iso file.

if you do mod it to play on flashed 360, it will work but abgx won't verify it. I know that cause I have done it with dantes inferno.

WRONG! the bigfile0.viv is extracted from the ISO so what are you on about, ABGX DOES verify the game as I have done it, Dantes Inferno also ran through abgx and I played with my console online

[Renegade]

Can someone who has the PS3 version and a jailbroken console, Private message me your AIM/MSN, I would like to add PS3 support to the app.

[Ninja Twin]

Thanks for the app. Would be nice to have one for DS1 as well if not much trouble.

[Renegade]

If it's the same kinda thing with the DS1 files then sure once i finish this one I'll get right on the other.

[buster12]

thegame thanks the quick TUT

Just hope Renegade & sephiroth may crack it to enable the save game hex edit to work, would be more fun with credits and nodes

[Renegade]

thegame thanks the quick TUT

Just hope Renegade & sephiroth may crack it to enable the save game hex edit to work, would be more fun with credits and nodesWe are gonna search the Bigfile a lot more today for credits/nodes, If we do indeed find some things, I'll be sure to make a gamesave with everything at the start of game for people to play through (call it a temporary solution until the hash method is fixed).

[bigcol]

So let me get this straight, you need to use this tool on the actaul game iso before you burn it to a dual layer? Sorry if that sounds like stupid question guys. Thanks

[buster12]

So let me get this straight, you need to use this tool on the actaul game iso before you burn it to a dual layer? Sorry if that sounds like stupid question guys. Thanks

Hi bigcol yes this is the ISO mod for disk 1

Renegade & sephiroth are working the programme to alter disk 2 and hopefull we may get a hexed savegame file soon with cash & nodes

[Renegade]

So let me get this straight, you need to use this tool on the actaul game iso before you burn it to a dual layer? Sorry if that sounds like stupid question guys. ThanksWhat you wanna do is, Have the DS2 ISO on your computer, Then use any ISO Browser tool, I prefer Xbox Image Browser, Open the ISO, extract the Bigfile0.viv from Disk 1 ISO, and then simply open it up in my tool, Check off which mods you would like to apply, hit save, Replace the Bigfile0.viv to the ISO using the ISO Browser, and then burn, and M4d H4x0rz

Renegade, I knew you would would come up trumps with this game. Surely if you use this on disc 1, you save your progress, so surely this would carry on to disc 2 as you would have saved your progress? Maybe not the inf health but surely maxed out stats on the weapons?

[Renegade]

Maybe not the inf health but surely maxed out stats on the weapons?*shrugs* I only just got my copy of DS2 in the mail today, But i no longer have a JTAG, so it's hard for me to check it out, If someone that has reached disk 2 and applied mods to their Bigfile can confirm Bigcol's question it would be great, However, I will still add support for the second disk anyways.

No sign of mine yet but the postman is always late round here. Yeah Ive had this preordered for months. Ive only really played through chapter one. Im going to mess around with the iso, as I want to learn how to do this stuff. What other game ISO's can be modded this way? Ive got over 100 isos are various storage devices.

Ive got over 100 isos are various storage devices.Quite a lot of them, However at the same time a lot of them have security, So a JTAG is necessary for a lot of ISO file edits, Hence the unsigned code.

and where did you order your DS2? I got mine from shopto.net (always get my games 1-3 days early).

Ahhhh, the penny drops. I dont have a jtag, Im afraid so I'll probably just stick to the games that I can mod (without security). My DS 2 has arrived. Looks nice ace, I'll leave the sealed for now lol

daveYou used the tool on Bigfile1? Oh dear, i stated in the main post that there is no support for Disk 2 yet, Me and Sephy are working on it as i post this...I do hope you made a backup of that file, Because the version released up there is...let's say a lazy beta?

[bigcol]

I can confirm that Dead Space 2 - Bigfile Editor by Renegade & Sephiroth works 100%. Brilliant work guys. Maxed out Nodes would be a major plus aswell as credits.

[lamesnipes]

Very nice tool. Thank you for saving me a load of time.

[Renegade]

Very nice tool. Thank you for saving me a load of time.You're welcome my friend :)

[shinji200]

[Renegade]

thanks for the tool, I just have a question Renegade, are you going to fix your first SE? or now it's going to be just ISO mods, anyway, again thanks for this tool :)Yeah we will get around to fixing the first save editor, I assure you it is not forgotten :)

ill use your tool on cd1 and start it on toughest level

thanks again mate

dave

[xICEMANx117]

yea id like to get the unlimited Power Nodes i hate looking for them all

[Ravanofdarkness]

Nice Tool, hopefully i won't see anyone Cheating Online because the Multiplayer is kinda fun and doesen't really need to be ruined by Cheaters/Glitchers/Modders. :)

[Renegade]

Figured i'd give you guys an update, Me and Sephy are close to finishing and releasing the second update of the tool, You will notice some changes immediately.

[bigcol]

Superb, but I wont be able to try it if its released tonight as I have to tear myself away from ds 2 as Im on night shift tonight. Bit of a downer but I'll be looking forward to trying it tomorrow. You guys are pure genius! Thanks goes to Sephiroth aswell.

[blacksnight]

Thanks goes to renegade and Sephiroth aswell for there work on this tools and many more to come thanks guys.

[Renegade]

Updated version of the app added to main post :) Enjoy.

[BrayWyatt]

when will the se be fixed?

[Renegade]

when will the se be fixed?When someone helps me fix the secondary check (Mojobojo) But he is busy atm.

[xICEMANx117]

You all found anything with the Nodes or credits

[BrayWyatt]

When someone helps me fix the secondary check (Mojobojo) But he is busy atm.

no problem :)

[Renegade]

You all found anything with the Nodes or creditsNot yet. Still looking

[Renegade]

Fixed small bug, Was writing to the wrong offset, Fixed now :)

[Punker]

new version of editor looks cool

[Ninja Twin]

Excellent work guys. Thanks to both of you for the time and effort put into this.

[Renegade]

Updating 1-2 of the weapon tabs tomorrow. Also the bad news - Doesn't seem like the Credits/Nodes are stored as an edit value in the ISO, So unfortunately you're gonna have to wait until we find out how to fix the second checksum in the save file :(

[xICEMANx117]

i must have over looked it but what Bigfile i see bigfile 0 and 1

[ferval100]

Is that the same thing giving you trouble on the save editor?

[Renegade]

i must have over looked it but what Bigfile i see bigfile 0 and 1It edits both of the Bigfiles now, Bigfile0 (Disk 1) and Bigfile1 (Disk 2)


Is that the same thing giving you trouble on the save editor?Yeah the checksum is the only thing stopping the editor's progression.

[xICEMANx117]

It edits both of the Bigfiles now, Bigfile0 (Disk 1) and Bigfile1 (Disk 2)

Yeah the checksum is the only thing stopping the editor's progression.

Yeah on disk one only i have bigfile 0 and 1

278

[Insane JIC]

nope it ll work on flashed 360"s as well there dude

Well I'll be damn.

[gawl]

It edits both of the Bigfiles now, Bigfile0 (Disk 1) and Bigfile1 (Disk 2)

Yeah the checksum is the only thing stopping the editor's progression.

That's... very confusing.

Do you mean bigfile0.viv from disc one and bigfile0.viv from disc two? Because bigfile1.viv doesn't have the weapons data.

[hoxlund]

bigfile0.viv should be the files from both isos you open up, since when you try bigfile1.viv from both isos nothing happens when you try to open them with the editor

[bigcol]

Thanks Renegade and Sephiroth, brilliant work. So no max credits or Nodes, its not the end of the world. make playing the game more of a challenge. Thanks guys, very much appreciated.

[doket]

is that the infinite health will make me invincible? or it is nearly and still can be die after take damage too much? i never play dead space series before and friend said hardcore mode too hard, i will try modding it and start for hardcore my 1st run... hope i wont shit in my paint...

[bigcol]

Yes, its infinite health. Your health wil be on red and you will limp, you will not get killed or hurt any further BUT when you get your first suit, your health will go up and you will be able to move around properly.

[Renegade]

That's... very confusing.

Do you mean bigfile0.viv from disc one and bigfile0.viv from disc two? Because bigfile1.viv doesn't have the weapons data.I haven't looked at the actual DISK ISO's, I have just been basing stuff off on what i've gathered here, So yes it will be BF0 on each disk.


bigfile0.viv should be the files from both isos you open up, since when you try bigfile1.viv from both isos nothing happens when you try to open them with the editorYes.


is that the infinite health will make me invincible? or it is nearly and still can be die after take damage too much? i never play dead space series before and friend said hardcore mode too hard, i will try modding it and start for hardcore my 1st run... hope i wont shit in my paint...It's not really *Invincibility*, Just a huge amount of health that allows you to take a beating like a dancing frog apparently.

[buster12]

Just completed it played in the dark 46" TV and headphones very loud. Shit my pants every 10 minutes what a game.

I hope Renegade gets a fix for hex editing, wanna play it again when I can hex it just to have a bit of fun with cash and nodes

i did pretty much the same except on a 50" with suround sound compleated it in about 13 hours of straight play through the night with no light except for the tv, and i agree can't wait for the save editor to be fixed so i can max my credits on my retail 360 (you just don't get enough nodes or credits to max your stuff i a single game).

[bigcol]

Ive played for half an hour or so on the modded disc 1 but Ive decided not to use the modded disc. Why? Dead Space 2 is a game that deserves respect. Its brilliant game. I will use the modded discs on my next play through.

[STRATEGIZER]

Is there a tutorial on how to do this manually ? Im asking because I have this for PS3.

Thanks

[eric22]

thanks dude

[Renegade]

Is there a tutorial on how to do this manually ? Im asking because I have this for PS3.

Why, I specifically recall this being 360haven not ps3haven....womp womp. Anyways I will be trying this up today burned disc 2 with it and will see how she goes.

[EmuBoarding]

The option of infinite life is not working right. Im get my fist suit and my life is always in the red and when multiple enemies attack me I will die anyway. Is something wrong or is correct?

great tool.

thx

[Sephiroth]

Did you replaced your modded file before you got the new suit or after?

[Renegade]

Why, I specifically recall this being 360haven not ps3haven....womp womp. Anyways I will be trying this up today burned disc 2 with it and will see how she goes.Doesn't matter, I'm going to start to develop tools for both platforms now, and what way better to start is adding support here.

[EmuBoarding]

before =( its a problem?

[Sephiroth]

before =( its a problem?

Your character can have max 9999 hit points, your current hit point is 120/9999
A large med pack recovers 100 hit points, to have a max/full recovered hp you need 99 large med packs OR.. a a new suit ( works only for 1 time)
changing suit's will not recover you hit points!!

[claudiuccio]

hey man i have the italian version of this game and i have extract ONLY bigfile0.viv from disk 1. Start the tools and open the file but i can't enable any option, no check box, nothing, only the save button is enable ......( I'm running on windows 7). Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Download somewhere a free hex editor.
open your file with the hex editor and give me the first 10 bytes from offset 0

here is a example


http://i52.tinypic.com/2lmrtop.jpg

[loki9675]

I have the same problem. but i have the german version.

[loki9675]

42 49 47 48 00 b8 54 cd 00 00

[Sephiroth]

42 49 47 48 00 b8 54 cd 00 00

this is from the file of disk 1? if yes, can you post the values of disk 2 plz.

[loki9675]

No this from Disk 1 (42 49 47 48 00 80 82 C3 00 00)
and this from Disk 2 (42 49 47 48 00 B8 54 CD 00 00)

[claudiuccio]

bigfile0 disk 1 italian version :

42 49 47 48 00 28 6E C3 00 00

bigfile1 disk 2 italian version :

42 49 47 48 3C 58 5C C7 00 00

[jkipp82]

so your supposed to wait until after you got your first suit to use a modded disc? meaning inf health.

[Renegade]

Ok, Basically what we added to the tool was a check from each Bigfile0 of the disk, This basically would disable the checks for the checkboxes. e.g If you opened Bigfile0 Disk 1 - it would disable the Disk 2 checkboxes and vice versa.

However what we didn't know is that the header/s check we added is different for each version of the game.

So can we post a list of headers, Just like sephiroth posted in the pic above, Take the first int32 bytes like he has shown, from the language of your game, and post here.

[Ironflute]

hi renegade i post a comment for you on xboxdev, but our you going to edit the amount of saves available on hard core?

[Sephiroth]

Thank you, now i need to be sure if the offset of the characters hp is the same as in other versions

As you see from this picture, the offset we put in the tool for the characters hp = 1D23E.


http://i51.tinypic.com/34ytvcz.jpgCan you post here the offset of the characters hp plz.
You can do this by searching for


BaseValue("RIG", "HP"

[loki9675]

german version:
1da24

[claudiuccio]

from italian bigfile0 disk 1 it's 01d23e

[Sephiroth]

it seems this tool wont work with the german version,sorry :(

Claudiuccido, can you give me the first 10 bytes at offset 0 from the bigfile0 of both disk.

[STRATEGIZER]

Once we finish up the x360 stuff, I'll be adding support for the PS3 to the app.

Ahh cool ! Iv managed to find a tutorial & use all the value's that fradulant (or something like that) posted & they all work fine. Thanks guy's for your work & figuring this mod out !

[claudiuccio]

bigfile0 disk 1 italian version :

For those wondering about the health... It isnt infinite, it goes from 100 to 999...Jus use large medpacks to get back up to green. The other problems are that not all values can be changed to 999. Some are capped at 99. Also kinesis doesnt work properly either. its range is gone after using editor.Im curious were the values are for the ammo and other store items are. Shouldnt we able to change the amount you get when buying jus one?

However we want to get the language thing out of the way first.

EDIT - I need someone with the PAL version of the game and must be from the UK and have downloaded it, Private message me your AIM/MSN I want to do some research on your files.

are you talking about kinesis duration causes the bug or kinesis energy?

[Sephiroth]

No the StasisModule charger is causes the bug.

To fix this you need to set the StasisModule charger to 20
All upgradevalues of StasisModule charge set to -00
KinesisModule range to 999.

[claudiuccio]

any chance to have a fix for italian version ?

[Renegade]

are you talking about kinesis duration causes the bug or kinesis energy?There's a link between the both, So you need to choose between them, Me and Sephy discussed a fix, so we will apply that.

thanks seph and renegade. its times like these that remind of the 360 content days.Just doing our job ;)


now the program load bigfile0 from italian version. Good job menYeah we just needed to add an indentifier that would allow the Italian and German version of the game to be loaded, If anybody else is having this problem, Remember to post so we can add support for your Region/Language.


Can you please put version on the app so we knwow which one we have if your planning to release more moving forward?Well the version of the app, is actually there if you right click > properties, But sure we will add a version watermark, and also a changelog of the things added/fixed.


can the big file in the first dead space be modded the same way or by hex
?I'd assume so, After we finish this one, I'll have a look at the first game, and if Sephy wants to pull together again to help me with it, I would be greatful

I'll do my best to explain.

First of all, download xbox image browser, you can find it on Xbox-Scene.

1) Open up xbox image browser and click on file. Then "open image file"
2) Locate your Dead Space 2 iso file
3) Once it has been opened up in xbox image browser, you will see a list of contents, down the list you wull see the file called "bigfile0.viv", Right click on it and extract it. Exttract to your desk top or somewhere else that you can find it easilty. (takes a minute or two to extract, so sit back and wait)
4) Open up the Dead Space 2 - Bigfile Editor (assuming you have alrready downloaded it, if not, download it now)
5) In Dead Space 2 - Bigfile Editor, click on file/open. Locate your bigfile0.viv file and select open. You will get a pop up saying "file loaded".
6) Tick off what you want in the bigfile0.viv editor. Inf health, ammo etc
7) Click on save. You will get a message telling you that the selected mods have been applied to the bigfile0.viv. Go Wild
8 Go back to the xbox image browser, right click on the bigfile0.viv, same as you did when you went to extract it before but this time, click on "replace". The just replace it with the one youve just modded. (takes a minute or two to replace, so sit back and wait)
9) Burn the newly modded iso to a dual layer dvd. I have always use imgburn at 2x speed.)

All done, you can now play gthe game with the mods working fine.

Edit.............bigfile0.viv is on disc 1. I havent modded a disc 2 iso yet. In fact I havent even opened it in xbox image browser yet!

Renegade, does this sound easy enough to follow? Wasnt too sure when I typed it out but Ive tried to make it as easy as poss.

[jkipp82]

disc 2 will also have bigfile0.viv its not named anything different.

[misterx]

are u still working on the save editor ?

can the big file in the first dead space be modded the same way or by hex

The first Dead Space also has the bigfile0.viv and can be modded with a hex editor as well. Just modded mine and it plays fine.

[pureIso]

Thanks mate was wondering that myself. I would love top play the first one.

[Renegade]

The first Dead Space also has the bigfile0.viv and can be modded with a hex editor as well. Just modded mine and it plays fine.In that case, Once done with the Dead Space 2 stuff, Will get to work on a DS1, However only if there is a high demand for it.

[keksi360]

looks like there is a problem with the german version of dead space and this editor.
i successful edited disk one and played till the end without problems but disk 2 seems to be broken.

im on chapter 9 to 10.
after i blow up the things :D and run to the train my xbox shuts down
when i play this scene without mods everything works fine but when i load up the modded one it gaves me the same error after a little bit of playtime.

[Insane JIC]

Just a quick question, is there an achievement for dying in the game or something? I know some games do.

[gib6717]

I think this screwed up my telekinesis.. I can't grab anything unless I'm right next to it... Tried adjusting it in both files.. 999, 500, 20 nothing works.. ANyone have any ideas?

no there is no achievement for dieing in game. nor is there one for using the plasma cutter through out the whole game. i really liked that one from the first one it made it quite challenging.

is this only for ISO modding or will it work on a normal xbox (not flashed or jtagged).....

[xICEMANx117]

Sorry but no you have to burn a custom ISO disk for this to work

[pureIso]

is this only for ISO modding or will it work on a normal xbox (not flashed or jtagged).....

It can work on normal xbox if you can install the modded ISo dvd on your xbox 360 but for that you need someone with a flashed console. Since the game is being read from the HDD.

[jkipp82]

yeah its really cool that you dont need a jtag for this work.

I mean why would you waste so many dvd for a game?

there should be an advanced save editor which allows you to do all these mods .

Easy for you to say Sephy, all this coding makes me wanna leave it until tomorrow, But must finish the update.

[jkipp82]

personally im waiting for the final update first then burning i have other games i can play in the mean time.

[someairforcedude]

I am ready to burn Disc 2 finally as I am stuck on Disc 1 at a point where I can't save until I am at Disc 2. Just waiting on the final editor with all weapons so that I can burn the 2nd disc and play away... Thanks again for this awesome editor.

[bigcol]

Ive just completed it. Amazing game. Got to be a Dead Space 3 surely???? Right, I think its time I modded a couple of ISO's. Im glad I played through the game without having cheated. Yeah I got short of ammo, yeah, I died on more than one occasion but damn, I enjoyed every minute of it. Now for hardcore

[Renegade]

Sephy is coding the final weapons, Unfortunately..a few complications in my life have just occured, and it's putting me rather off, and making me stressed out with the coding, So Sephy is going to have it done within 1-2 hours then we will release the final version...Well not really final version as we might tweak stuff in future such as Region issues or ingame bugs. Thank you all for your feedback and using our tool, I salute you all.

[EmuBoarding]

Any news for nodes and cash? Thx alot.

[bigcol]

Any news for nodes and cash? Thx alot.

You need either really. You have infinite health, so no need to upgrade to a better rig. You will have more ammo than you can shake a stick at. Just started the game again but this time on Hardcore. Ive modded my isos and have not died once. Ive also got plenty of ammo.

[Renegade]

Sephiroth found a little method for getting credits, It's kind of a long shot, But i'm sure he will tell everyone how to do it once we release the full weapon update.

[jkipp82]

cant wait renegade

[blacksnight]

that ill be sweet renegade, thanks for the hard work o and thanks to Sephiroth too for his hard work!!!!!

[Renegade]

When i said "A long shot" i meant it :P It's something you have to manually do ingame, But if you guys like farming, You won't have a problem doing this, As for the nodes, if you just do that glitch, that pretty much covers credits and nodes :P everyone's a winner...now i have the urge to post the tool on the EA forums.

Whats the best mods/settings to enable if I want to run thru (first runthru)the game and have achievements popping in a legit manner?

you can still earn everything nothin is tied to life as far as allowing yourself to die or something like that.

[derrickscopion]

Is it known whether doing this can get you banned or is detectable at all?

Would modding the Plasma cutter affect the upgrade achievement?

[Sephiroth]

Would modding the Plasma cutter affect the upgrade achievement?

Using this tool wont effect any archievement, so.. no it wont effect the upgrade archievement if you mod plasma cutter or any wpn.

guys .. I have big problem with Disc 2 , I mod ISO file and burn it but every ammo become 1 and when I going to upgrade weapon it's freezing on this picture :sendorq:

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/2668/snc00098k.jpg

By the way .. The Disc 1 modded perfectly :bigsmile2:

[majorspawn]

I have the same problem with Disc 2 as well. I can confirm that the screen freezes on the same "bench" tool. I can also add that after using the editor all ammo is reduced to 1 and air is reduced to 1%. This is the same via jtag or disc. When I revert to un unmodified bigfile0 then the air reverts to 15%. I think the editor is not patching the correct values on the second disk. Disk 1 works perfectly. Is anyone else on disk 2 that can confirm the same behavior?

[lickerout]

are the credits randomly droped in random amounts? or are they set amounts? if they are set amounts could you change the amount thats droped in the bigfile? that would make it more or less infinite cash and it could allow someone to make a save with tones of credits on it right near the begining for those with none jtagged consoles.

I had the same problem and tried many methods but no avail :(

update:
just figured that u don't need to mod Disc 2 . if u have a save file on disc 2 and want 2 play with ur modded weapons on disc 2 just insert your modded disc 1 and load the save file that on disc 2 after that insert Disc 2 . so i think u need just to mod disc 1

8 Go back to the xbox image browser, right click on the bigfile0.viv, same as you did when you went to extract it before but this time, click on "replace". The just replace it with the one youve just modded. (takes a minute or two to replace, so sit back and wait)
9) Burn the newly modded iso to a dual layer dvd. I have always use imgburn at 2x speed.)

Here is the tut I knocked up. Very easy to follow

I had the same problem and tried many methods but no avail :(

update:
just figured that u don't need to mod Disc 2 . if u have a save file on disc 2 and want 2 play with ur modded weapons on disc 2 just insert your modded disc 1 and load the save file that on disc 2 after that insert Disc 2 . so i think u need just to mod disc 1

and every time when I want play I doing this ? How Playing Disc 2 from Hard drive ?!
Hard way

I think there are wrong with new version of the tool .. I mod Disc 1 with old Version

[purpletentacles]

is it just me or does the line gun's "super laser" mod make the gun work only half the time? Seems like when i get a direct hit on an enemy the game decides that it just wants to pass straight through. This can be seen big time when fighting "the pack" where 5 or 6 will be in front of me but only one dies. Or am I just retarded.. Other than that sick tool guys

I think there are wrong with new version of the tool .. I mod Disc 1 with old VersionThere's nothing wrong with the tool, We have tested this prior to release, We always do. You're obviously doing some human errors.

[suxers]

One thing tho thanks for the info on ammo returning to 999.....but i have a problem with the suit it no longer wants to make me invincible i lose health when hit and i do no kno how to get it back to invincible.. i tried changing suits.. and or putiing a node in the health...to no avail... hmm

Need a tester? I am bored and figured could contribute somehow...

we are not only testing the mods in the game, we also check every modified value in the bigfile0.viv file.

Version 2.7 Final - Released and added to the main post.

[jkipp82]

sweetness thanks.

[fossilk1]

what about credits and nodes?

[Renegade]

what about credits and nodes?Just use the glitch lol...ask Sephiroth for more details.

[lickerout]

so by the glitch (from what i hear, i have not tried it yet hard to see that it would work) i take it you mean In Chapter 14, after the zero g spot, there's a power node door. Get the items, save at the nearest save station, then restart from your last checkpoint (the station). Return to the room and the nodes and a semiconductor will be there. Rinse and repeat for infinite nodes and cash. Enjoy!

[Sephiroth]

so by the glitch (from what i hear io have not tried it yet hard to see that it would work) i take it you mean the chapter 14 glitch (just before the end of the game) where you save just after the zero gravity section shortly after that there is a power node door enter there collect everything and restart from previous checkpoint.

it doesn't have to be only on chapter 14, i have found those glitches on other chapters too.

[lickerout]

any early one by any chance if so where? i'm about to go into chapter 7

[Renegade]

Glitch and methods added to main post.

[Creeative316]

as always pretty good job there guys :)

[pureIso]

very well done guys :)

[Sensi420]

Great Job. Working great
Couldnt u just buy power nodes after doing credit glitch.

[eric22]

wow great update 2.7. trhanks again dude .

[purpletentacles]

Awesome Update... If it were even slightly possible I would have your babies

[BrayWyatt]

now this is working. when will the save editor be fixed? thats what im waiting for. since my slim cant be modded.

[Bigfishhead]

just a quick thank you it works great, well kinda got all the infinte ammo and stuff but because were i was in my save, i had no heath left so and plus i cant buy any suits at the moment because there is none in the store ( disc 2 chapter 11 )

Wat can i do so i can get infinte heath to work???

[unknowhuman]

Oh guys I love you LOL

I modded Disc 2 with newest version and it's work perfectly without freezing problem

Thanks Renegade and sephiroth , good work guys

[Renegade]

now this is working. when will the save editor be fixed? thats what im waiting for. since my slim cant be modded.The save editor was never broken, It's just the checksum that is holding me back from re-releasing, Unfortunately i'm not really fluent in PPC so i'm not sure how this secondary check works out, Mojo told me it looks to be another EA check but even he is confused and doesn't understand the structure, and that's saying something.


just a quick thank you it works great, well kinda got all the infinte ammo and stuff but because were i was in my save, i had no heath left so and plus i cant buy any suits at the moment because there is none in the store ( disc 2 chapter 11 )

Wat can i do so i can get infinte heath to work???You should really only use the infinite health option when you are near to obtaining a suit, Only thing i can suggest is use a crap load of medi-packs and hope for the best until you obtain a new suit.


Oh guys I love you LOL

I modded Disc 2 with newest version and it's work perfectly without freezing problem

Thanks Renegade and sephiroth , good work guysYeah we found the cause of the freezing isses, So just re-coded those parts with more support for Disk 2. You're welcome....I've not even had the chance to use the editor myself lol...

[Bigfishhead]

Its ok ruff'd it till i got the advanced suit............its all good now thanks a bunch can't wait to finish the game and go thru it on hardcore..........:)

[xICEMANx117]

Also if you spend one node upgrading the HP on the rig it will automatically put you at full health

[doket]

well done. i will gonna try this and play it....

[lickerout]

if you load a save that was used for infinite hp and increased ammo on a modded iso and use it on a retail does it still have the modded stats? or does it have to be used witth the modded iso to get the benifits from that save? if they can be used can someone upload a save for each difficulty so we can have some fun.

[Ninja Twin]

I injected the modded bigfile into my ISO and since I plan to play it while connected to XBL (Not MP) ..i decided to run the ISO through ABGX. This is the error i got. Any idea if it is safe to go online with this ISO?

Game partition CRC does not match the verified ini! There are 4 possibilities:

1. This is a bad rip (the most likely cause). If you're checking a DVD backup
and have AnyDVD or a similar app installed, make absolutely sure the process is
killed! If this is a scene release, search for it on abgx.net and look at the
column "Bad CRC or Needs Fixing". If you see a <!> icon, hover over it with
your mouse to read the alt text. If it says something like "Bad game data CRC"
or gives the name of a fix (PPF patch), we already know about it. It's also
highly recommended to run abgx360 again with AutoFix set to level 3 if you
applied a PPF to make sure stealth files haven't been corrupted. See "What is
AnyDVD style corruption?" in the GUI Quickstart tab for more info on game data
corruption.

2. Your CPU/RAM/HDD/data bus is unstable and corrupted the data during
extraction/burning or while checking the CRC. Make sure to run the sfv and try
extracting it again (assuming you have the sfv/rars) and recheck the ISO/DVD to
see if you get the same CRC.

3. Game data was intentionally modified for some reason. Microsoft does not
take kindly to modifications for any purpose, and even benign changes to game
data or settings will get you banned from Xbox Live!

4. The verified Game CRC in the database is wrong (very unlikely).

Stealth was verified but game data wasn't

To be safe. Install the game with the modded ISO and if you play with an unmodded version the game still reads from hard drive so the mod still works.

[jkipp82]

your gonna get that warning because you edited the disc. no matter what game disc you edit you will always get that. as long as you dont edit mp stuff then your fine

[misterx]

any news considering the save editor?

Will it ever be possible to have a save editor for dead space 2 ?

I only want to cheat credits, so that I can buy all the stuff I want.
That's for me the best way to enjoy the game.

And I dont want to waste my dvd. Because I bought the original game

I bought the game but still modded the isos. The finall version of the bigfile editor has been released, so now would be a good time to get modding. Ive playing the game again but now using the mods now that Ive completed it forst time around. Try it, you might just like it. I will be pleasently surprised if we see a save editor. Thanks once again to Renegade and Sephiroth

[Ninja Twin]

Mod tool works great on the US version but not on the J/Asian version. I have it on me so is there any way to upload the bigfile for you guys to look at. Thx
