Well, it's actually forbidden to ask for a place to download. But i would try the usual places.

btw, I noticed you said "get set up"...

boxlink is an app like any other, so normal rules apply.

If you have a folder on your xbox for you applications

ie.  F: apps

Unzip files on your PC to a folder called "boxlink" (it can be called anything)
then FTP the folder into your apps folder.

once your dashboard is rebooted Bo-xlink will be in your apps folder,

if it isent you may need to edit your dashboard ini file.

i found the advanced settings and linked all my games so its all good, i hope.

and i saw in all the other posts you refer everyone to the xlink website, well i couldnt find any boxlink help there, so unless you want to point it out and shut me down, i think you should review whether the site has the answer to a q.

not having a go at anyone, i think its awesome what you guys are doing, keep it up!

funny thing is, is that boxlink is an app like any other, as I have said in NUMEROUS posts before, (search button would help you out in this case) and is installed as such. If you dont know how to install an app, perhaps you should then read the tutorials on this very site.

We haven't got instructions on how to put Bo-XLink on your XBox because I guess we assume if you have a modchip you know how to FTP to your XBox and thus know the file structure of your own XBox and how it works with your dashboard.

We can't assume everyone uses EvoX, or Avalaunch, but you basically put it in a directory on your E or F partition which you know will let it auto-add itself to your menu's configuration.

For myself, that means chucking it in E:\APPS\BOXLINK\ and letting EvoX auto search for default.xbe's in my E:\APPS\ sub-directory. I actually use my own custom MS dashboard, but I'm not going to confuse you with that.

Bo-XLink is like any other homebrew application for your XBox, so the same rules apply. Yes you're right though, the website doesn't have this information on there, because I guess we just assume you know what you're doing to be going into XBins downloading binaries etc etc...

Fine, I'll put up instructions there along with the overhaul of the site for RC3.
