Booting With Right Trigger
« on: April 10, 2005, 02:48:00 PM »

I've been trying to figure out how to boot my xbox to XBMC with right trigger. I found a write up on how to boot to evox here. I don't really understand how this works. On my xbox XBMC is located at F:/Apps/XBMC/default.xbe

I see how to make it boot to evox, but cant figure out how to type the stuff to make it work. I don't get how I would write it for XBMC since it is under different folders and not directly under one of the drive letters. Could someone modify this for me and maybe explain what and how the different lines of code work?

 <righttrigger enabled="1">
<path>
c:
</path>
<filename>
evox.xbe
</filename>
</righttrigger> <

Hi mx416,

It looks to me like your path is wrong. It is telling it to look in c:\ for the file evox.xbe. It should read like this:

<righttrigger enabled="1">
         <path>
         F:\Apps\XBMC
         </path>

         <filename>
         default.xbe
         </filename>

      </righttrigger>

My understanding is that the path tells it where to look, and the filename tells it what to look for. So useing the above as an example you should be able to make any xbe you want work.

That didn't seem to work. I tried several different combinations of holding down the right trigger and it just Blinks between a black screen and the avalaunch image that comes up just before the dashboard.

I set evox to load off the a button and that works fine. <

So you are saying that did not work for the trigger but does work for a button?

If thats true is has to be some small formating error in the config file. Otherwise it juse doesnt make sence.

Glad you got it to work though! <

I can get evox to boot off the a button just fine.

XBMC will boot off left trigger when its the last app I've run. It boots every time, but when I try to get it to boot off the right trigger it doesn't work. <
