ok we all now the Game Demos option in the main menu of Halo
wouldnt it be cooler to launch HCE instead  
Halo will start D:\Xdemos\Xdemos.xbe
so my first thought was put everything in from HCE in \Xdemos and rename default.xbe to xdemos.xbe
tried to run and hce gave me a black screen
so after some more testing, it's just that halo doesnt remap the D drive
so I've just put everything in my Halo directory and then hce in xdemos
it woorks
so you have like

QUOTE

Halo\default.xbe (halo) Halo\Maps.. (halo) Halo\config.ini (HCE) Halo\Xdemos\Xdemos.xbe (HCE) Halo\NTSC\... (HCE) Halo\Media\... (HCE) Halo\meta\... (HCE)

then just select Game Demos in the menu and it'll run HCE

xdemos\xdemos.xbe, not good enough
so I open my hex editor and search for it,
found it 2 times
changed both do just D:\hce.xbe (filled rest of it up with 00)
moved Halo\Xdemos\Xdemos.xbe to Halo\hce.xbe
there, that's better

now changing the menu thing...
nothing in default.xbe,
found GAME DEMOS (in Unicode) in cache002.map (ui.map)
changed to HCE, saved
start halo,.... its still Game Demos
redownloaded cache file, checked it and it's still HCE

so it had to be a bitmap or something else

if anyone has any ideas please lemme know

[edit] fixed paths

[d3fault_dot_xbe]

i'll go change it and make a mod for it... mkay! that is a Great idea! i can edit bitmaps and shit in halo (why can't you xbox warez?)

p.s. i know it is a bitmap almost 4 sure

[d3fault_dot_xbe]

shit, i forgot to rename the hce xbe from default.xbe to xdemos.xbe b4 i transferred... so i overwrited my halo default.xbe... lol no biggy

[d3fault_dot_xbe]

dunno when I opened my pal ui in hmt it crashed
but it worked in the old hmt .03beta
but didnt seem to extract the correct stuff

anyways gonna patch the ui file with HCE

[XBOX War3z]

patched worked fine, yea when you go over it it goes all funky
tried to open cache again, always get this error
for both my ntsc and pal cache in HMT3

[pimp]

text is a little messy, might want to write it in note pad, and then just print screen and open it up in paint, and paste then just copy it to the bitmaps.

[d3fault_dot_xbe]

yea, i rushed that patch.... i DID do another in Halo font....

....and Xbox War3z.... try HMT2..... i guess Monoxide and Tjc forgot to add the UI menu for HMT3...... maybe we should report that as a bug...

[d3fault_dot_xbe]

i have a kool ui HCE mod at home...i'll make a ppf when i get home!

[d3fault_dot_xbe]

ok, here is the new v2 patch....   http://www.xbox-save...ownload&id=1791

[Frag Daddy]

Do you patch the cache002.map, or the ui.map?

::Edit::  Nevermind, figured it out!  Good job default_dot_xbe!  Could you make a patch that maybe just says "HCE" because new versions of the program are already out?

[d3fault_dot_xbe]

o yea, i never really thought about that..... cuz i don't use HCE that much anywayz (i usuuallyy do stuff too advanced..... but i do admire the proggy)
