First off when I meant it might be in the wrong place I mean that the shortcut you made has to overwrite the default.xbe for the Evolution X, Unleash X, or whatever dashboard you have.

For me to put XBMC on my Xbox it takes about a minute or two. Is your connection wireless? That could be the problem.

You need a modded dashboard like Evolution X or Unleash X to change your default dashboard to XBMC.

Most softmods turn your Network settings to manuel so that you can't connect to Xbox Live. I'm assuming this is a safty feature so that you don't get banned from Live, but I'm not totally possitive.

 

ok well first of all i dont have a modded dash so is that my prob?? second of all were can i go to get one?? and third i am not on wireless i run a 50 foot cable to my room. 4th of all am i fixable well my problem i mean??

Yes you do need a modded dashboard. Plus I don't know what exactly your problem is so please state it very specifically.

Just PM me and I can give you my info.

 

hey fuz3 im gunn try aggain this time with the sid-installer ok?? ill let ya know what the out come is.

 

Use SID4 because it's the most up to date.

 

ok will do TY

 

ok fuz3 i installed the unleash x dash ok but when i turn my box back on like it tells me to i still have a normal xbox dash?? when i look in my memory it says unleash dash!!! so what am i doing worng or is that right???

 

[bold]@Fusion187[/bold]
Well my friends really old Xbox had got screwed up so I tryed to fix it. I figured out how to get Mech Assault to work and used SID4 to install the Evolution X dashboard. When I rebooted and pressed the A button to complete the softmod it went through fine. Then when I rebooted the final time it just gave me the Microsoft dashboard. The "ring of power" was lit red meaning the softmod was active but I didn't get the dash. I didn't feel like working on it much so I followed this tutorial on making XBMC my main dashboard and it worked out wonderfully. Whatever happened to the Evolution X dashboard I don't know but XBMC is good and he was happy it wasn't broken anymore.

 

ok fz i now got my unleash x dash to work now were do i go to fxp cause when i try to fzp to my box it doesnt work and i noticed a ip in bottom right corner so i tried that and it still doesnt work!! i dunno man

 

hey, FuZ3 .. thanks for the tutorial ..

i was able to successfully make XBMC as my dashboard .. but the thing is i can't FTP (via FlashFXP) it on my PC ..

in the Settings>Network, i manually changed the IP address (192.168.1.100), default gateway (192.168.0.1) and subnet mask (255.255.255.0) .. but i don't know where i should change (or add) the username and password ..

maybe you could help me how to configure the FTP in XBMC using FlashFXP .. .. much appreciated ..

First off thanks. But my setup is like this:

First make sure the FTP setting is enabled. Once you have done that go into the "Network Settings" in XBMC and change the assignment to "Automatic(DHCP) and then make sure it saves and then reboot your Xbox. Then go back to the "Network Settings" and check out what it says your IP is. Then open up your FTP client and type in that IP address, Port: 21, and xbox for both the username and password and you should be connected.

[bold]@Fusion187[/bold]
The settings on the Unleash X dashboard should be perfect for FTPing. Just make sure the FTP setting is enabled. If it still doesn't work you can change the IP settings or whatever to Dynamic I believe it is which is the same as Automatic(DHCP).

 

how come i can't use the xbox360 skin? when i went to change the skin, the skin isn't highlighted .. only project mayhem II is highlighted ..

 

Just press "A" on the Project Mayhem skin and it will change.

 

ok man ill try that thanks.

fuZ3,

whenever i choose the 360 skin (and pressed 'A') .. it says that the skin should be v2.0 or higher ..

From Photobucket.com take the link not the tag and then put it in the img tags.

It should work fine if you use both the XBMC and the MC360 I supplied you with it should work just fine.
