Install CoD Xe

CoD Xe is the plugin that loads CoD Xenon mods on Xbox 360 and Xenia.

Follow this page once, then return to the game-specific guide for the title update and mod files.

What You Need

• An Xbox 360 that can run unsigned code: XDK, RGH, JTAG, or BadUpdate
• Or Xenia Canary Netplay on Windows
• A supported game extracted to a normal folder

Use game-specific title updates

CoD Xe requires the correct title update for each game. Install the title update listed in the guide you are following.

Xbox 360

Download the standalone plugin:

Download CoD Xe

Set codxe.xex as a DashLaunch plugin.

Your plugin setup should look similar to this:

After saving your DashLaunch settings, reboot the console.

Xenia

Use this path when running CoD Xe through Xenia instead of Xbox 360 hardware.

Use the latest Xenia Canary Netplay

CoD Xe requires the latest version of Xenia Canary Netplay. Older builds may fail to load plugins or crash in ways that are already fixed upstream.

Download Xenia Canary Netplay:

Download Xenia Canary Netplay

Enable Plugins

Open Xenia once so it creates the config file beside the executable:

• DirectoryXenia Canary Netplay

  • xenia_canary_netplay.exe
  • xenia-canary-netplay.config.toml

Close Xenia, open the config file, and change these values:

allow_plugins = false
allow_plugins = true

allow_game_relative_writes = false
allow_game_relative_writes = true

Close Xenia before editing

Close Xenia before changing the config file. If you edit the config while Xenia is open, the change will not save.

Copy Files

Download the latest CoD Xe release .zip. Do not use the standalone codxe.xex download for Xenia. The .zip contains additional Xenia files that Xbox 360 hardware users do not need.

Download CoD Xe release zip

After extracting the CoD Xe .zip, the folder should look similar to this:

• Directorycodxe

  • Directoryiw3/

    • …
  • Directoryt4/

    • …
  • Directoryxenia

    • Directorypatches/

      • …
    • Directoryplugins/

      • …
  • …

Copy the contents of the extracted codxe folder’s xenia folder into the same folder as xenia_canary_netplay.exe.

When copied correctly, your Xenia folder should look similar to this:

• DirectoryXenia Canary Netplay

  • Directorypatches/

    • …
  • Directoryplugins/

    • …
  • xenia_canary_netplay.exe
  • xenia-canary-netplay.config.toml

Next Step

Install the title update required by the game guide you are following, then boot the game’s multiplayer .xex.
