Where do you want to go today ?

Change your HDD for a 160Gb drive ?
Used advanced skinable menu systems to replace the MS Dashboard ?
Use Linux ?
Play Emulators for legacy consoles ?
Play multiregion DVD ?
Play games faster from the HDD ?
Not have to carry your X-Box games around ?
Play online without the need for X-Box Live ?
Play Divx/MP3 ?
Stream media from your PC or the Net ?
Play any region game ?

The world is your lobster Check the tutorial section here.

Wow all that seems great. To start with:

Use advanced skin menu systems to replace the MS Dashboard.
Play Emulators for legacy consoles (sounds goos but what is it)
Play multiregion DVD
Not have to carry your X-Box games around.
Play any region game.

Beens checking out xbox scene and im getting lost. I think the next step it to do the bios and change the dashboard. is this currect?
I think I need evolution-x bios, dashboard and DVD-X2.

DJ Dunk. i believe you are the man i need to speak to.

I'd try to make sure that you have the correct bios for dash you are using if its EvolutionX. So for the latest EvolutionX release (Build 3921) you should have the M7 bios, that way it will support the new functions like Smart HDD Temperature, HDD Lock & Unlock.

Just got this e-mail.


*****************************************
the chip is pre-flashed with the latest bios and does not need re-flashing,
evolutionx isn't a bios, it's a replacement dashboard and only use it after
reading up fully or you risk damaging your hard drive.
All the best Bald Bouncer

*****************************************

So it looks like I only need a new dashboard to do all the amazing things you guys do.

You still keep the oringinal xbox dash but another one gets added to hard drive, when mod chip is on this is one runs when it's off standard one runs there are a few auto install dashboards slayers the one i use never had any problems with it comes with

XPMP (xbox media player) used for playing avi (including divx and xvid) mpeg, mp3's, wma's and jpg's
PHHLoader Installs games from disc to hard drive

XBMP is now finished and will nolonger be updated team that was doing it have move on to XBMC (xbox media centre) currently in a alpha release, it's quite buggy doesn't like playlists and wont play some avi's does .mov (apples quick time files aka movie trailers)

Sorry just spotted other questions

Standard xbox hard drive iseither 8 or 10 gig depending on what drive seagates are 10 (but you'll need to do stuff to get extra 2 gig)iirc weston digitals 8.
Unless you run a router or hub you'll need a crossover cable to get box and pc talking

Si
Ps Hard drives are roughly a £1 a gig, and up until recently 137gig was maz size xbox could see but that's changed now

thanks Mr Cookie. Now I need to get my hands on a das and decide which method to install it.

beemerboy.

Had the xbox for a month. had a good think about it and if i waited for the warrenty to be over I would have spent well over £130 on games (price of xbox) this way I save money.
