dooahhdoo Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I am after some advice. I have just chipped my xbox with xecuter 2.6. The BIOS it came with was the legal cromwell one and I have just flashed it with the latest xecuter 2 bios. I am not sure on where I have to go now as when I start the xbox I get the MS splash screen with a little xecuter logo underneath. What next? I think I have to replace the default dashboard but how is this done? Ultimately, I want to replace the hard disk with a bigger one and also stream movies from the pc to the television via the xbox. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integer Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 This should help. It can be a bit of an ordeal getting hold of the third party dashboard software though, normally needs to be downloaded via irc (or at least it did when I did mine a long time ago). Check out the big xbox modding sites, theres normally a few clues on how to get hold of a third party dashboard, along with tutes on pretty much everything you can do to a console.

Rock Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 there are disks (downloaded as disk images) that will install everything for you, Slayer's Boot Disk was the main one when I last checked (a good while ago mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Auto Installer Deluxe is the daddy. Installs XBMC, emulators, web browsers, all the good stuff you need basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Was Slayers that I used on mine. Can't remember the exact process offhand but PM me if you are having problems dude and I'll try to help if I can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Cor, what version of XBMC were you running cret? No wonder you weren't impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Not sure to be honest Slim. I originally had XBMP then was told I should upgrade it to XBMC so I did but because I've always got so many things on the go I've not really kept up with what upgrades & stuff there have been. I take it from that that newer versions are much more whizz bang than the earlier stuff then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Yes, it's a blooming amazing piece of software now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hmmm, may see my way to upgrading that at some point then. It's probably easily 2 years since I installed my one at a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dooahhdoo Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Cheers for all the help. Got it all done in the end but if you can point me to the easiest way to stream video from the pc to the xbox and display it on telly I would be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 If you've got the latest XMBC, it's got a network section in the options. Add your share there (its using samba so windows shares re referred to as SMB), then you just browse to your share on your windows pc, and load the vids.

dooahhdoo Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Cheers Slim. Couldn't get it to work with simple file sharing enabled in XP so re-did all the shares, created a user on the pc called xbox and I can now piss my missus off by watching Star Trek and James Bond Movies whenever I want on the big telly Thanks.
