FAQ

If you create a thread asking any of the following, IT WILL BE REMOVED.

What is the latest version of EvolutionX?
Build 3935
It is *not* 1.8.3935, the 1.8 stuff has been dropped.

Where can I download Evox (or any other files)?
Read this

Is Evox dead?
No

Can I use a USB hard drive with Evox and run games/apps from it?
No, you cannot use a USB hard drive with Evox. You cannot run games or apps from a USB hard drive. This is not just becuase of evox. The USB 'drivers' for this hard drive would need to have support from at a lower level: ie: the bios

Can I stream games/apps over a network to my xbox?
NO, there is no way to do this, and most likely never will be.

Can I remove my dvd drive, and use a hard drive in its place?
NO, not at this time. Team Xecuter has stated that are looking into, but no one knows for sure if/when it can be done.

Do I have to use an EvolutionX bios in order to run the EvolutionX dashboard?
No, you are free to run whatever bios you want, on whatever chip you want.

Why do some files fail to transfer to my xbox?
Most likely you are trying to transfer files which have too long of a file name, or use 'bad' characters. Below are the 'specs' for the fatx filesystem.

Filenames are not case sensitive.  XBOX, Xbox, and xbox are all the same.

When I start my backed-up game, I get a black screen with sound?
Turn off all three IGR sections in Evox settings.
