Note: Since we will probaly never see a program that will automatically relink a Xbox DVD I decided to write this complete tutorial for everyone to use.

This Tutorial is only for people using Linux or Windows

Linux and Windows Guide:
(Tested with SuSE Linux 8.2)

Applications Needed:
Wine (Only for Linux users)
Extract-xISO
Download Extract-xISO for Linux HERE
Download Extract-xISO for Windows HERE
Hex Workshop (Tested with v4.10)

To start off, I couldnt find a good Hex Editor for Linux, so I tried Hex Workshop with Wine and it worked 100%. If you have a good Hex Editor for Linux it should work fine, aslong as it has a “Find” feature built into it.

Re-Linking
Re-Linking – Done with Xbox Games Cut Scenes and Audio, this hack will link a certain Movie or Sound in another ones place.

Known Xbox Video Formats: [.xmv], [.bik]
Known Xbox Audio Formats: [.wma]

To start off, open Hex Workshop

Click “File” and then “Open”

Go into your folder with the game you wish to rip in it, and double click on the default.xbe

Your screen should now look something like this:

Click “Edit” and then “Find”

Where it says “Type:” If not already change “Hex Values” to “Text String”

Now after you have done this, the screen should look like this:

Now where it says “Value:” type in the name of the file which you wish to relink, for example if I have a intro.xmv and i want to relink it to outro.xmv (which means the xbox will play intro.xmv instead of playing outro.xmv) you will type in “outro.xmv” in the “Value:” box.

After you have entered the name of the file you wish to relink click ”Apply” and then “OK”.

Now look at your screen and see if you got this, where it says “outro.xmv” you would name it to “intro.xmv”

click image for full view

Like I said above, you would now change “outro.xmv” to “intro.xmv”

Then offcourse click “File” and then “Save”

NOW: The reason Re-Linking is important is because Xbox Games get big for only 2 Reasons, a lot of Video and Audio. Now that you can relink a 50MB movie to a smaller one such as 2MB, you can cut the size of the game BIG TIME.
