This is some older news ish, by some months now, but me and Itchy fixed Halo Megabloks and it is public for download and play. The build is dated both October 21 2013 and September 27 2013, as the release xex file is dated October 21st 2013, while the xex we fixed, Mprof, is September 27 2013. All the fix was was some UBind thing Itchy NOP'd out if i recall correctly. Also I may have the dates wrong ish, this game is a pain in the ass to date correctly as the XEX file isn't so reliable as sometimes the packages have later dates (most the time they do) than the XEX file does. If you want to download it, a full download is here, including a emulator just for this game to play it on PC (just know the game memory leaks on PC overtime, and on actual hardware it is a bit laggy and it will crash after returning from the swamp to the pelican unless you do complete objective and ghost walk to the forerunner complex): https://archive.org/details/halo-megabloks-oct-21-and-sep-30-2013-v-1.0.10246.0
Also this is like one of my first times ever writing in a forum so sorry if this is sorta messy or maybe not the right place to put this. Also the link above is just the fix to make the game boot, here is a xex to fix the warthog crashing the game, but just know it isnt a full good fix (the turret cant rotate, it was the thing causing the bug to begin with) https://mega.nz/file/iBESxb7D#ebgKfHP77DyPfCJWSdQHo6cAZN98YyswtfX4XKf8ztc
Heres some important notes:
The game takes a long time to start, wait like 3 minutes (and sometimes it crashes)
To move when you start the game, open the console with either "`" or "TAB" and type "re playintrocinematicfull" which will play the cutscene.
While playing your character may start walking on its own with 0 input, to fix this hold the back button on the controller and a debug menu will appear and click on suicide.
If you don't use the patched xex file for the Warthog fix, you can spawn the mongoose for the area where you are supposed to build a warthog, and when it asks you to use the winch you can do complete objective in the debug menu and use ghost walk to get to the other side of the shield
trying to go to the main menu will crash the game
you can complete the whole game but it will get laggy overtime and audio will disappear on the custom version of Xenia in the download.
On actual 360 hardware no matter if your on a devkit or RGH the game crashes on the way back from the swamp right after the crashed pelican (to avoid this do complete objective in the debug menu and ghost fly under the map to the forerunner temple to avoid the crash area)
-----
Thats about all, here are some special little extra commands you can do in the console
"givevehicle SEP_warthog" (some weird special version of the warthog that causes broken animations, only works with the warthog patched xex)
"givecharacter engineer" (some character class like the soldier and scout but doesnt have any special ability and is rather incomplete)
