Where Does Evox Install Itself?

How did you softmod your Xbox? Not the name of the game you used, the name of the softmod installer.

Which Evox Install Disk?

Excellent. Apart from using the installation disc (they aren't designed for softmods) what you have done is fine. Kingroach 3.1 is the latest softmod, and its dash is E:\Dash\default.xbe.

It sounds as though you already have XBMC installed as an app (hopefully a recent T3CH version), and have tested the shortcut from another location. If that's the case then to install it as your default dashboard you simply rename the shortcut to default.xbe, rename the config file to default.cfg, then copy both of them into E:\Dash\. Take a backup of the current dash before you do that in case you want to change back at any time.

The reason your C was empty is because Kingroach (like all good recent softmods) forces you to have a shadow C (to protect the real C where the softmod files are so you can't accidentally screw up your softmod), and it's empty when you first start. All you have to do is ftp the stock C (from Slayers) onto your C drive, and you're sorted.

Hmmmm. Just to confirm, when you installed the disk you built with Kingroach it booted UnleashX (as it should), but you couldn't change the network config?

I'm now a bit confused about the current state of your Xbox.....

Kingroach has its dash in E:\Dash\default.xbe. If that doesn't exist then I'm not sure how your Xbox is booting. I can't find a copy of "Evox administr8or 2002 disc" anywhere, so I can't work out what it might have done.

Are you sure you don't have E:\Dash\default.xbe?

I probably confusing everyone by mentioning ndure mod. I never could get past unleashX going that route.

When I used the Evox CD, it formatted everything. Now, I have a folder "Dashboard" on my E drive. I also have  files called "Evox.ini" and "Evoxdash.xbe" right ON TOP of my E drive. in other words, not in a folder.

I have 2 xboxs with different softmods on them. One is a older mod inwhich all I had to do to make XBMC my default dash was create a "default.xbe" shortcut and copy it over the "default.xbe" file in the evox dashboard folder.

When I try to do the same thing on the new softmod, it still goes to Evox. I figure that I havent found the ligit dashboard file yet.

(Both xbox's used an older softmod. I had to update the softmod on one of them when I updated the harddrive to a 250GB)

Hopefully I havent confused the hell out of you.

So now I just want to make XBMC me default dashboard.
