Things Needed:
1. Xsavsig-used to resign saved files
2. Brienjs patch v1.0
3. Qwix iso creator(only if you are not playing forza off of your hard drive)
4. Your xboxs HDD key
5. XSaveMgr(saves manager for xbox)
Using brienjs patch:
To use brienjs patch you must first extract the patchs zip file than extract the entire forza iso to a folder(Just extract the default xbe if you are going to play the game off of your hard drive). The way I do it is: 1. burn the iso to a cd/dvd and load it in my xbox. 2. FTP my xbox 3. extract the Whole d: (you will need it later if you plan to make a dvd instead of putting Forza on your hard drive). There are easier ways to do this, but this is the way I do it. Now that you have the default.xbe file extracted and the authkeypatch.exe file you must put both of them on your desktop, but not in a folder directly on desktop! Next go to (start) and click run. Now type: CMD (you should get the dos screen. Finally type: cd desktop and push enter than type authkeypatch.exe and the patch should run. It will ask you to put in a folder # just type in a number b/t 0 - 65,535. it will give you a number(this is the folder that your forza saves will be in)WRITE IT DOWN! You will need it later. It will also put a new file on your desktop called default.xbe.new, just rename it default.xbe
Using the new default.xbe:
You must put the new default.xbe file back into the Forza folder that you extracted from your xbox(or put the default.xbe file back on your xbox hard drive where your forza game is)make sure you overwrite the old default.xbe file. If you are going to make a dvd copy of the game open qwix iso creator and push the create iso button. Than push the local folder button and find your forza directory(the one with the new default.xbe that you created)and click create iso. Than burn the iso with nero or your choice of burner.
Now What???????????:
You must now run the new game and create a new profile to see if the patch works. Once youve made a new profile open the XSaveMgr on your computer and ftp your xbox(you have to turn the game off and boot to your hacked dash)if there is a file that says Non-XBL forza motorsport than you are on the right track if not than you messed up some where long the line. Copy the non-xbl save to your pc(you will need it later)Now to set up your xsavsig program:)
Getting your xboxs HDD key:
First ftp your xbox so you can see all of the folders in it. Next open up c:/backup folder. Now open the hddinfo.txt file. You will see a number at the very bottom like this: a1 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 00 12 13 14 15 16. Take this number and break it down like: a1112233445566778899001213141516 . Now you have you xbox hdd key
Where to put your xbox hdd key:
Now that you have your xbox hdd key you need to open the xsavsig directory folder(where ever you installed it) and open the xbhddkey.ini file, and insert your xbox hdd key where it says (hddkey=). Next open up the resign.ini file in the xsavsig folder and insert this at the top:
[The number That the patch gave you_3]
ID=[ The number That the patch gave you_3]
Title=Forza Motorsport Texture File
SigKey=DD46A68DB08C6B0086FDE4F198E0C656

DataFile=UserProfile.xml
SigOffset=-20
DataOffset=0

SigType=NoRoam
[The number That the patch gave you _2]
ID=[ The number That the patch gave you]
Title=Forza Motorsport Garage.bin/Garage.dat
SigKey=DD46A68DB08C6B0086FDE4F198E0C656
AuthKey=31A43F9B548DB278EF1D0AF8E74BD5B016324526
DataFile=Garage.bin
SigOffset=-20
DataOffset=0
DataLen=-20
SigType=NoRoam
(for the number that the patch gave you, enter the number that I made you write down it looks something like this 626a0015 somewhere along that line but the number varies)
Testing Your saves to see if the Sigs match:
Go into the XSaveMgr folder and find where it put that non-xbl save (it should be a zip with the same number that you wrote down from the patch) and unzip it. Now open xsavsig and where it says sign: click it and scroll down to forza motorsport. Where it says file click it and browse thru that unzipped non-xbl save you want to open the userprofile.xml file. If the current and calculated match give yourself a pat on the back:) if not retrace your steps.
Using all of this crap:
Now you ask what is all of this crap for? SO YOU CAN GET OTHER PEOPLES SAVE TO WORK ON FORZA AND HACK YOUR SAVES(BUT THEY WONT WORK WITH XBOX LIVE THANKS BRIENJ-WE LOVE YOU MAN) to do this you must unzip any download save, open up xsavsig and change the sig of the userprofile.xml, garage.dat, garage.bin,ect.. to do this just load the file you want, put the sign option on either forza motorsport, Forza Motorsport Garage.bin/Garage.dat, Forza Motorsport Texture File, or Forza Motorsport Package File(which ever you are trying to get to work on your xbox)and click apply.take the newly signed file and out it in your non-xbl forza save folder that you unzipped(overwriting the old file) and rezip it. Than use XSaveMgr to put it back on your xbox.
Have fun and a big thanks goes out to brienj, sniperkilla, and the whole bunch of you fellas out there keep up the good work

Its easy you need to type this
Go to start/run type in cmd
go to the directory of the patch in the cammand prompt
Then type this-------vvvvvvv
authkeypatch.exe default.xbe 0-65,535
Don't put the 0-65,535 just a number inbetween 0 and 65,535 if you still can't figure it out then sorry don't use it then...

Hmm, I still dont quite follow. So, do I have to take every single file out of the downloaded save zip and run it through the xsavsig program? For instance, the save I downloaded has;
Caricons1.xpr
Caricons2.xpr
Caricons3.xpr
Caricons4.xpr
Caricons5.xpr
datelinfo.xbx
gameid
garage
garage
saveimage.xbx
savemeta.xbx
titleimage.xbx
titlemeta.xbx
userprofile
Also, how do I know which sign option to select when/if I am selecting one of these?
Thanks

The thumb sized picture of each car at the bottom of the garage doesnt correspond to the actual car selected.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thnks

i've managed to get through the tutorial and get a downloaded game save working, but there seems to be some slight graphical errors.

Go into the tuning area, then back out, it should update the thumbnail for your car.

i've got the non-xbl forza on my drive, i've created a default save and checked it's signature against my settings in xsavsig and it matches up but when i copy over my old save(s) i still get a corrupt profile error. it does show the percentage complete and all that stuff, but when you go to load the profile it says it's corrupt.
i just ran xsavsig on my userprofile.xml, garage.bin, garage.dat and then all the pkg and texture files, is there something i missed?
TIA

If someone tells me to use this one, then can you basically spell out exactly what I need to do and where I can find those files, etc:

As you can see, I've requested some help on those as well. I really want to get this game working.
Thanks everyone!
