I'm not an Xbox owner, but logic tells me:

1. This thread will be locked quick if not flat out deleted. Beth and M$ doesn't support/condone hacking the Box.

2. Hexing is short for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimalediting. On the Xbox this would require "illegal" tools to circumvent the security and allow you to customize the OS into allowing you to run "outside" programs/tools such as a hex editor.

Probably involves hacking the hexadecimals in the game files. Also probably requires a mod chip. If my knowledge of other hex-editing examples is right, it's a right pain in the butt for very little gain. You could maybe change a character's inventory and add a billion stimpacks, but adding a new weapon or something wouldn't work out too well.

Definitely isn't condoned by Microsoft, and hence I expect this to be locked.

Just get a PC, then you can have the GECK, FO3Edit, FOSE, the benefit of the modding community's work, etc...

It is not illegal, you do not need a mod chip, it is all free, you need a Data Migration Cable, and it is very fun to do

take the normal ID

00012345

00 01 23 45

then switch it

45 23 01 00

45230100 and that is the Hex ID

Mods are not available for the XBox, they are pc only and any discussion contravening Microsoft's EULA is not permitted on the forums.
