This is a guide I made that will teach you how to hotswap, and what hotswapping is.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you break, or harm your xbox 360 or yourself in any way!

Video Tutorial: This is my video on my channel. So don't worry I didn't just get some random video I found.

What is hotswapping?

Hotswapping is a common method to modding. It can be used to mod Nazi zombies, grand theft auto, and many other games. Your xbox must be taken apart. To hotswap you switch your original disk of the game with a modded disk of the game while the disk is spinning. Basically your making your xbox think that the modded disk is the original disk of the game.

How do I hotswap?

Like I said before, to hotswap you will need to open your xbox first unless you have a benq drive. Dont bother with it, its not worth the time or money considering you have to take apart your xbox anyways to get the drive in.
STEP 1)
Turn your xbox 360 on, put in the disk for the game you want to hotswap (make sure auto play is off), and go to the my xbox section. Go to game library and select the game you are going to hotswap. (If it doesn't show up it may still be verifying the disk. Just wait and the game will show up)

Step 2)

This is the physical step. Make sure your modded disk is near, and can be accessed within seconds. Take your index finger and your middle finger and stop the spinning disk. When the disk stops take the magnet off the disk and QUICKLY put the modded disk in the disk tray and place the magnet back on. If the magnet is not in the right place the disk will be sent flying across your room and will probably be damaged, if it doesn't hit you.

Step 3)

Alright, now either press the install to hard dive or play. If you install it to hard drive you will have to delete the game to play the normal version again. And there you go, you hotswapped! Have fun!

Please thank or +rep me if I helped!
