    here's mine as an example

    Section "Emulators"
    {
    Line "- Emulators -",1
    SortStart
    AutoAddItem "e:\Emulators\"
    AutoAddItem "e:\Apps\Emus\"
    AutoAddItem "f:\Emulators\"
    AutoAddItem "f:\Apps\Emus\"
    SortEnd
    }
    Section "Programs"
    {
    Line "- Programme -",1
    Item "Xbox Explorer","f:\Apps\boXplorer\default.xbe"
    SortStart
    AutoAddItem "f:\Apps\"
    AutoAddItem "e:\Apps\"
    SortEnd

    dunno if this will help you or not

    the evox.ini file is in the C drive. If you want,backup the file on the xbox by ftping it to your pc and renaming it evoxold.ini that way you can edit the evox.ini filoe on the box without worries. If anything went wrong you'd just have to use a boot disk and boot to it. Then all that'd be left is to delete the bad one and rename the evoxold.ini back to evox.ini and everything will be back to normal.

    Where it says this

    Section "HOMEBREWGAMES"
    {
    AutoAddItem "E:\HOMEBREWGAMES\"
    AutoAddItem "F:\HOMEBREWGAMES\"


    change the word HOMEBREW to Games. Most apps that copy to the mard drive will send it to either E:\Games or F:\Games.


    give that a try and see what happens

    There is a section on my hard drive called homebrew with games in it there are also files called Applications and Emulators all with different programms and games in but i can't seem to get the games to appear on the dasboard to alow me to play them. On the hard drive are about 5 different emulators also non of which are accesable through the dashboard.
