Thanks Opjose for making me read the whole site, since you desactivated the search option ..

.. but i found out that i did love all your posts !!
Straight to the point !!! Thanks for all your efforts !!!
Anyway the only things I found was about the problems running the updated dashboard when you have installed EvolutionX , which I haven't ... (yet)
I just have an Enigmah-ed Pal Xbox, swithed into NTSC with the Enigmah-Videoselector ..
So now Think that is maybe the problem, using a NTSC update on the PAL Xbox .... Now when I boot it I see the X coming, then followed by the MS, if I am lucky it boots a game,it takes now sometimes up till 10 times to get it working, but there is NO way I could access any other options, so there is NO dashboard at all ...
Before I could use the following trick to help my Xbox read a disc, I booted it, then let it run, if it wouldn'r boot I pushed Eject, and then when the disc came out half way, quickly pushed the Eject again to make it enter, and it would easily boot, but now the only way to make it sometimes work is to do a compleet on/off cycle, no game ever will boot up using the Eject at all
I guess sooner or later Will have to change the DVD-drive ...
BTW is the Pioneer 500M still the best solution? Or is there any better-fitting/easier ones? Maybe even the new SAMSUNG SDG-605 ? But where can you get it?
Could anybody please advice me what i should do, how i could get it back to a working state again ... do I HAVE to install EvolutionX to solve it, or wait for a Pal Xboxlive Updated Dashboard e.g. ??
ThanX
