New To Softmodding, And I'm Overwhelmed By The Options Options

[Ash123]

Heimdall. I have two questions if I may. First, just of curiosity how would I find out what's on the USB drive that this guy sent me? If I connect it to a PC it won't find the files as the USB drive will be formatted to FATX, right?

Second, I'm using your HeXEn disc to install a larger HDD. I followed the instructions on the disc and I'm getting error 16 instead of error 5. Can I proceed or do I need to do something else?

Thanks.

Never mind, I proceeded and it worked OK. I swapped the dashboard from UnleashX to Evox as I prefer that one but noticed I cannot access the XBMC link in the main menu. To get to XBMC I have to select Xbox Admin/ Apps and then XBMC. Is there a way to get the link working in the main menu?

Also, there's no reboot or shut down option in the main menu. Is there a reason for this and can I install this function so it appears in the main menu?

Yes, there is. You just need to (carefully) edit evox.ini : http://xbox-scene.com/articles/evox-ini.php

The top-level XBMC menu entry is/seems pointing at a location/file that doesn't exist, whereas the other entry is perhaps auto-added.

Either way, you can accomplish what you want. Heimdall will know better than anyone how to make the changes, but feel free to post the [menu] section of your evox.ini here and we'll all help with the edits.

OK. So on the first line there is a shortcut to XMBC in that folder but it's still showing up red on the evox main menu screen. I edited the first line to where XBMC actually is, f:\Apps\XBMC\default.xbe but it reverts back to the original line. I even copied over an evox.ini with the new line but it automatically went back to the shortcut folder.

Plus, there's no shut down or reboot on the main menu screen but in the ini it's there.
