yeah and when i got one of the older versions, i edited all of the menus and it crapped out before i rememebered that it loads npatchers which load dashboards and by default, they look in the 007 folder for the dash. so you'd need to change all of those too....just a heads up!
one way you COULD get it to work through another gamesave is: copy 007 gamesave to xbox, then make an MA or SC gamesave that simply runs the dash from the 007 folder. ingenius...sort of...not really
as for topspin not working....tell them to turn the xbox on without a game in, let it go to their dashboard, then put in topspin. otherwise it will load before nkpatcher and won't get the retail fonts and will die.
