Biollante GSTE - Tutorial for Xbox in Description

Video shows the PS2 version of Biollante.

Biollante does work in the Xbox version and is actually MORE stable than she is the PS2 version! Or at least, that's what I assume. I played through Survival Mode and the game never crashed. Her model/texture looks better than the PS2 version but the HUD is messed up badly. Ah well.

The method is totally different for the Xbox version, it turns out. The Xbox version doesn't have a .VOL archive file so that makes things a whole lot easier. I'd say that Xbox hack is better than the PS2 hack, even with the HUD bug. The PS2 method is.... outdated. The only advantage with the PS2 hack is the HUD. Otherwise, it's laggy when played on emulator, worse graphics, and much less stable than the Xbox hack. If you have a softmodded Xbox, I'd highly recommend the Xbox hack over the PS2 emulator hack.

If you own a softmodded Xbox and can FTP files to it, here's a tutorial on how to unlock her data:

Requirements:

- A Softmodded Xbox (Google a tutorial if you don't have one, the process is quick and easy, and cheap as well). You must also be able to either transfer files to your Xbox. This tutorial will assume you can transfer files through FTP.
- 800-900 mb of Xbox hard drive space
- A copy of Godzilla Save The Earth
- DVD2Xbox
- Patience
- A brain*, don't mess with something you should not mess with
- Basic knowledge of FTP

If you meet these requirements, you will be able to enable Biollante. ☺

2. Browse to your GSTE backup directory - Self explanatory, default location is probably E:/Games/Godzilla Save The Earth/bundle/

3. Decide on a kaiju to replace - Yup, you still have to replace a kaiju but you have more freedom on who to replace than you do with the PS2 version. As the Xbox version does not use a VOL archive, you can replace any kaiju regardless of how many characters are contained within the file name.

5. Reboot your Xbox - Just in case, make sure it registered all of your changes.

6. Load up the game and play!

Biollante's textures and character model are more detailed than they are in the PS2 version, as expected. The tradeoff, however, is the the messed up HUD icon. As you can see, there is a hideous white block in the corner of the screen. Unfortunately replacing the HUD file didn't work for me, but you're always free to try!

Well that's it for the tutorial! I hope it works for you guys and thanks for all of the support over the last few years! ;D

* For those brave souls who think this method will work with Ebirah or the Carnival characters, no it doesn't.

** Monster File Names:

Anguirus
Baragon
Biollante (Do not replace this file as it is not used in Monster Select)
Destoroyah
Destoroyah_Carnival (Not loaded in select screen, crashes game when used)
Ebirah (Not loaded in select screen, crashes game when used)
Ghidorah
Gigan
Godzilla2k
Godzilla90s
JetJaguar
JetJaguar_Carnival (Not loaded in select screen, crashes game when used)
MechaGodzilla2
MechaGodzilla3
Megaguirus
Megalon
MGhidorah
MOGUERA2
Mothra (This is the adult form)
Mothra_Larvae (Larvae form)
Orga
Rodan
SpaceGodzilla

This method is confirmed working! =D

Here's some other fun stuff you can do with the Xbox version:

- You can (probably) take the video files from G:DAMM or other Xbox games and replace the existing videos. You might even be able to create your own videos in the format!
- You can replace the boring music with the awesome G:DAMM soundtrack or any other music files in the same format (lwav if I'm not mistaken, the extension was switched).

Some Youtube staff prick decided to add a character limit to the description of videos. -_- Guess I'll just post what I was gonna add to the description as a comment:

You can keep actually keep all default kaiju and Biollante at once.... somewhat. Follow the steps and replace the Zip for, lets just say, Megaguirus. When you go in game, Player 1 will play as Biollante and Player 2/AI will play as Megaguirus. Basically, the zip files are for Player 1 and cmf files are for Player 2.

Had no idea you could softmod the Xbox! Would love to try this one day. If there was a way to obtain the textures, would love to edit those in the process...
