    I downloaded Dash2Gam from xbins. I can't get the dashboard to load. When I attempt to load it the LED turns orange, the screen turns black there is no activity. Is there something wrong with the dashboard found in xbins or am I the one just having this problem? I added the 3.2 patch found in http://www.eurasia.nu Can someone help me out?

    I got it to work. Does anybody have the "config_pro.ini" that activates the 200+ setting options? The file that comes with the dash only has the novice settings, and I need that file to fully unlock all of the dashboard features. This dashboard is great I recommend it. Can someone help me out as to where to find this file, or if anybody has one can someone post a link to it? I'll really appreciate it, thanks.

    XBMC is the best dashboard!

    I know that XBMC is the best without a doubt (XBMC is my default dash), what I am saying is that in its attempts to mimic the ms dash it emulates it very well. No wonder all the other dashboards are not included nor mentioned in the AID installers because they all have bugs and can be very difficult to configure, they are a pain and can get real frustrating.

    It basically comes down to who's writing the source code for them, and whether or not they keep it up to date!

    XBMC SVN is updated daily with new additions, bug fixes, patches and general improvements, not to mention all the 3rd party addons available!

    I'm a big fan of the T3CH releases (Weekly builds) and stay up to date with all their stuff!

    The releases only contains 1 skin. Do you know what happened to allxboxskins.com? Its been down for a really long time. The skins that I have, have been from the AID installers I've downloaded since the Pre-2.1 XBMC development.

    Have you tried editing the PM3 skin to suit your needs?

    Here's a quick look at mine...

    I've always wanted to edit the skin, did you use a skin editor or can I just edit the .xml files? They way you have it setup it looks incredible as If it was a movies on demand service. It’s real eye catching, I always wanted to do something like that for music and movies. I’ll start editing the skin.

    You can just edit the .xml files directly. Took me a while to get the swing of it, I'm still only learning, but it's made XBMC a little more fun. Now I'm coming up with ways to improve it, talking directly with the XBMC developers and they are adding features on the fly!

    The Added Movies\Episodes has been added to the latest SVN build!
