Trying To Get Xbmc As Dash Cant Find Any Threads That Help :( Options

[steveo1978]

maybe but i say but the there is a few points that can be soldered to get it to flash

try and flash it with slayers if it flashes and gives no error the you can flash it

[Heimdall]

you should not have to format the hdd if you flash the bios

He will if he changes from a .67 BIOS to an .06 BIOS......

One way to tell how the box is modded is to run BIOSChecker. If it comes up with a retail BIOS then the box is softmodded, if not then it is flashed.

It sounds more and more like the box is softmodded.....

if it was soft modded wouldn't i have munted it by screwing around with the c:\xboxdash.xbe or the e:\GAMETRONIX.xbe files changing them to the shortcut??

[wesleymartin]

lol i made a boo-boo but i found where the gtx dash is by going to the gametronix website someone else was asking the same qn, to stop the xbox booting to the gtx dash you have to rename the sys folder in e:\ to something else and put the xbmc files in there so i tried that and i get error 13. ive been trying to do a hotswap to change it back or try placing a shortcut in there directing it to the xbmc xbe but if i pull the ide cable out when im told and plug it to my computer then windows won't boot, it gives me a boot error and im sure that its boot priority is to my normal hdd and the only way windows recognises the hdd is if i dont do a hot swap just plug it in, but of course its still locked am i stuffed or is there a way out of this??

would slayers answer all my problems? ill give it a try anyways cos theres nothing to lose i guess

[wesleymartin]

ok i finally got it to boot to xbmc i soldered the points, used slayers, flashed my bios successfully and then used the shortcut to get xbmc to boot on a bad note i lost all my games :'( when i installed evox on the f drive it deleted everything i dont know why i made sure i selected one that didnt require data loss i may not have achieved much lol but i learned alot about xbox's thanks to everyone for helping me id be lost without it

I wouldnt say im a very smart modder but i just but xbmc on my box and had the same problem I just renamed the default.xbe to match the dash my bios was bringing up (in my case evoxdash.xbe) That worked great I would back up though if you havn't already

So if you didn't understand that
I renamed xbmc file default.xbe to evoxdash.xbe
then deleted my orginal evoxdash.xbe
then when my bios loads evoxdash it'll load xbmc.

you can also edit your bios with xbtool or something, there you can keep all your dashs and change the order that your bios will load up in
