Welcome to the XBMODZ Modding Help Series. In this guide, we’ll cover how to properly load mods from your dashboard using DashLaunch, and why it’s critical to be on the latest version.

📝 What You’ll Need

• A JTAG/RGH Xbox 360
  
• DashLaunch v3.21 (latest version, required for kernel 17559)
  
• A mod plugin (e.g.,
  .xex
  or
  .xpp
  )
  
• XEXMenu, Aurora, or file manager access

⚡ Step 1: Check Your DashLaunch Version

1. Boot into your homebrew dashboard.
   
2. Launch DashLaunch.
   
3. Look in the top bar — confirm it says v3.21.
   

❌ If you’re still on v3.19 or earlier, plugins may fail.
✅ Download and install v3.21 before continuing.

⚡ Step 2: Add Your Mod Plugin

1. In DashLaunch, navigate to Plugins.
   
2. Select an empty slot (Slot 1–5).
   
3. Point it to your mod plugin file (
   HDD:\Plugins\example.xex
   ).
   

💡 Many Call of Duty mods are injected this way—when the game launches, the plugin will auto-activate.

⚡ Step 3: Save Your
launch.ini

1. Press RB to move to the Paths/Save/Load menu.
   
2. Highlight HDD and press X to save.
   
3. Confirm that
   launch.ini
   has been written to your hard drive.
   

⚠️ Forgetting this step is the #1 reason mods don’t load.

⚡ Step 4: Reboot and Test

• Restart your Xbox.
  
• Load the game associated with your plugin.
  
• If the plugin matches the correct Title Update (TU), your mods should now be active.
