So I recently bought a XBOX DuoX 2 GS mod chip, and I see that everyone has a dashboard like unleashx are the dashboards necessary for everything to run smooth? This will be my first attempt at modding my xbox.
So any tips will be awesome >.<

And if the dashboard is important then can someone tell me where to go to understand how to install everything without messing this whole thing up lol

Thanks

The dashboard is the thing you see on the screen, the software that allows you to pick games etc. from a menu. No dashboard = blank screen = useless Xbox, so yes, they are necessary.

You need to read some of the pinned topics and tutorials here on Xbox Scene, then come back with some more specific questions.

Short version:
- fit the chip
- boot to confirm it works (the Blue DuoX2 GS comes pre-flashed with BIOSes)
- Use a boot disk e.g. HeXEn (Google Heimdall's Xbox Engineering Disc) burned to DVD-R at 4x or slower, and use it to set up the disk and install the dash.

One more question, Do I burn the dashboard on to a disk before I install it or can it be done through FTP?

And thank you guys very much,I will Google Heimdall's Xbox Engineering Disc, Auto Installer Deluxe.
and is Heimdall's Xbox Engineering Disk a dashboard?
If not then what is the best dashboard to use?

I'm sure I'll have more questions

Only if you want to, yes
No
UnleashX to start with

I'm sure you will.

I have been looking at the Unleashx but I can't find a download for it anywhere.So when and if I find a download , Can use FTP to put it on the xbox? Just checking >.<
what would I install first? Like Mod Chip then Heimdall's Xbox Engineering Disc,Dashboard etc..
And with Heimdall's Xbox Engineering Disc do I put that on a disk? or Can that be done with FTP?

Thanks a lot!!!!

Did you read this? It answers all of your questions.

No I did not see that before but that sums it up for me.
But thank you so much Heimdall you were so helpful and made this so much easier for me, I really appreciate it.
Thank you again
