How to Transfer a Mod to Your Xbox

Transferring a softmod to your Xbox 360 is much easier than installing mod hardware. The Xbox homebrew community has created mods for everything from game cheats to custom dashboards to enabling your Xbox 360 to support homemade games. Although every mod has slightly different installation instructions, transferring the mod software is a straightforward process. To access the hard drive on your Xbox 360, you will need an Xbox 360 transfer cable and Xplorer 360, a free software application.

  Check with your mod's user guide or website to find the appropriate folder to store the mod. This folder will most likely be located within the "Content" or "Cache" directory. Click and drag the mods from your desktop to the appropriate folder to transfer them onto your Xbox 360. Depending on the mod you are using, additional configuration may be necessary.
