    Ok guys, so I am interested in modding the game so we can enjoy the game in 720p. I know people mod GTA VC and SA a lot on Xbox, but not seeing any mods for the 3rd game. Can anybody point me in the right direction to some Xbox mod tools for this game? I know I remember seeing some stuff for SA but I can't locate it now. Can I just use the PC mod tools or does the textures or something else have to be converted for Xbox?

    I am wanting to replace every single vehicle model manually to save a lot on resources. I believe by doing this the game should run much smoother by hex editing the XBE. Apparently the game also forces Anti-Aliasing x2, so figuring a way to disable this effect should also theoretically help further optimize it for 720p.

    Thank you. I found this thread and it alluded to needing to save them in a special format for Xbox.

    Also another thing to remember, everytime you mod the xbox version of any gta, you need to delete GTA3.CAP.Final from where the xbe is located, i'd back it up incase if I want to go back to the original game
