Upon first launching the Mod Manager, you will be presented with a First Time Setup. This menu is designed to streamline initial setup, by selecting the various required paths from one section.


Mods Directory

This is the folder where you intend to place your mods; this folder can be placed anywhere you like, but it should be kept separate from your game directory.

Game Executable

This is the game executable for your copy of Sonic ‘06. Depending on the platform you intend to use, this file should be named either default.xex (for Xbox 360) or EBOOT.BIN (for PlayStation 3).

If you have a disc image (*.iso) of the game, then you will need to extract it.

  1. Download, extract and run Sonic ‘06 Toolkit.
  2. Once opened, go to File, then Extract Xbox 360 ISO…
  3. Navigate to your Xbox 360 ISO and select it.
  4. Wait for the status text at the bottom to display Extracted ‘ISONAME.iso’ successfully…, do not close the Toolkit until this is displayed (to check previous status messages, simply click on the status text).

Emulator Executable

This is the executable for the Emulator you plan to run the game on (likely either Xenia or RPCS3 (currently unable to run the game properly). If you only intend to run the game on real hardware via an install on a USB Storage Device, then you can leave this box empty.

Launch emulator after installing mods

Simply tells the Mod Manager whether or not it should launch the specified emulator once mod installation is completed. If using real hardware, then this option should be unchecked.


Once you have configured your options, you can hit Continue to complete the First Time Setup.
