    Im wondering if its possible to play an original xbox backup from a network share location? The version of xbmc im running does NOT play them, i wasn't sure if it was even possible.

    Nope it's impossible; music/movies, no problem. But games have to be on DVD or on the internal HDD, they don't work across the network.
