This is an extremely helpful link to the online guide to xbmc created by the designers themselves.

i followed the tutorial and the program to make xmbc the default dash, but after i did this, and rebooted, all it gives me is the xbox start up, then a black screen,

I have tried plugging the drive into my pc to see if i can recover it but it will not pick it up on the ndure cd, I have tried unplugging it when on the black screen and when on the xbox loading, It doesnt get an ip address so i cant restore the files i saved, and it was only one! the default.xml.

Any ideas on what i can do here

So it seems like everyone is having a problem with installing xbmc as default dash. I don't know if I want to attempt it but I don't have a e:\apps\ The apps and games were installed on the f:\ Should I still make one in the E:\ ?

Or should I not risk it?

I suggest you follow this tutorial at your own risk. I haven't been paying attention to the Xbox modding scene and probably forgot most of what I knew. If you still want to follow this tutorial, I'm sure there are people here that could help you out, if needed.

Thanks,

What's the matter with you ?, do you think it's acceptable to post stuff like that on the forums ?

I logged in just to drop my two pence, if you don't like it, i didn't make you read it.

I have followed hundreds of bogus or incomplete tutorials and hints and ideas from countless know-it-alls in so many forums it makes my head spin. I swear i have burned months of my time trying to figure out what the *u*k is being said. To people who don't understand this shit, you are speaking a foreign language.

Try to keep it simple, and thorough, and easy, or don't give advice at all dammit.
And if you do not know what you are talking about, or only have a vague idea, or have only tested it once, THEN DONT ACT LIKE YOU KNOW! because you're the one responsible for the bad directions that potentially bricked someone elses investment.

good gawd if i get directions from a stranger that makes my car go off a cliff,then you better believe I am hunting that person down and taking their car.

"but YOU were the one driving, It's your own fault for listening."

that is just irresponsible baloney. (*steams from ears*)

Hello... First, I wish to thank the author of this thread for a job well done. I typed what I wished to do in Google, it directed me here and within little over 2 minutes, following step by step in the well written and illustrated tutorial, I had XBMC running as my new dashboard (old one was EvoX... Great Job :)
Well, I do wish to apologize for necroposting, however, I've read thoroughly through every comment in this thread and haven't noticed a single mention of a problem I am experiencing with getting the MC360 skin to work properly:

I am able to switch to the skin (->Settings->Appearance) no problem... it loads up beautifully and looks great...
However, no fonts appear on screen... at all...
I've attempted cycling through the font oprion located on the same screen and even set MC360 as the skin and power cycled the XBOX to no avail...

Would anyone be so kind as to direct me toward a solution to this problem?

Thanks Much, In Advance...
