Installation

Video guide on how to install.

1. Extract SEE Gamecube/Xbox zip file to a folder

2. Have BfBB files from an unmodified game extracted to a folder:

• Dolphin: Right Click a BfBB iso, click Properties, click Filesystem, then Extract Entire Disc and choose a location
• Xbox: FTP the files from your Xbox to your PC

3. Copy the files from the Sock Expedition Extreme mod and paste them over the original game's files

4. Now all you have to do is set up your method of playing:

• Dolphin: Click Config, Paths, and click Add, then choose the "sys" folder from where you extracted the original disc (folder should have "files" and "sys")
• Xbox: FTP the modded files back to your Xbox, go to the file explorer, and launch default.xbe from your game directory

You should be all set to go, you will know that it's working if the intro videos are different and the new logo appears on the title screen.

For Gamecube users, you can alternatively play on an ISO too:

Setup 1:

1. After adding the sys folder as a path, an iso can be created from it. Right Click on the 0.00 B game you added > Convert File.
2. Make sure ISO is selected at the top then click convert.
3. Save the ISO wherever you want

Now your ISO file is ready to play in Dolphin and Nintendont.

Setup 2 (if Setup 1 does not work

1. Download GameCube Rebuilder and open it.
2. Click Image, then select Open.
3. In the window that opens, select your original Battle for Bikini Bottom GameCube ISO file.
4. On the right side of the program, a list of files appears. Right-click "&&SystemData" and click Export.
5. In the window that opens, select the folder of your mod.
6. Click Image, then select Close.

Since the mod has all of its required files, you can now create an ISO file to play it.

1. Click Options, then select "Do not use 'game.toc'." This is necessary because of additional level files in the game.
2. Click Root, then select Open.
3. In the window that opens, select the modded folder.
4. Click Root, then select Save.
5. In the window that opens, select any location for the ISO file.
