Running debug builds

This feature allows you to run XEX files built in debug mode or EXE files that can normally only run on Devkits.

It is recommended NOT to rename the plugin XEX file. Or if you do, make sure the name is 11-characters long AT MOST!, otherwise loading debug builds won't work. This is due to technical limitations.

Note: You must NOT be signed into a profile to start the MW3 EXEs, otherwise it will display an error or crash because you have DLC content (at least Erosion, Aground and Terminal) installed for a different version of the game. Just start the EXE and then connect to a profile after.
