dont use an installer either burn XBMC to a disc or FTP it to your XBOX and put it in the E Apps folder make sure its folder is named xbmc no capitals

It will replace your dash, if you want XBMC as the dash then do it, but according to your above post trying to use an installer wasnt working

I want to use xbmc, I think I may be dealing with a screwed up machine from the start. I can load sometimes and sometimes i cant, like i just loaded one app and one emulator but on the next emu it froze, due to frag problems im having with this xbox now i have to wait about 30mins to restart or it will try to start twice then blink red green red green, unless i turn off and wait then it will start. what is it doing ? it did this before any mods. that may be why xbmc did not load for me. at first I was doing this softmod to learn and I have, but now I have entered a battle I call (operation FUBOX) and must win, ha ha.

Also if you softmodded using Ndure you cant use XBMCID to install XBMC as primary dash, needs to be a SID5 mod

Wow that's odd. Trying clearing the contents of E:\cache and the contents of the X, Y and Z partitions and see if that helps at all. _________________

Sounds like the Crystal I just blew up, appears to be a power issue. Will turn on and just shut itself off, half the time no video 49% works fine and 1% of the time games freeze out. Dont try to wire a laptop LED lighted cooling pad in via the 4th C port, thats what I did and its messed, worked perfect before then. Sounds eerily similar to what you describe

I used sid to mod, never used Ndure, the xbox never shuts off by itself, after I shut it off I have to wait 20 or 30mins to get it to work. If I turn it back on right away it frags if that the right term. I played halo 2 on it for a few hours and it never froze, only does this trying to load any thing off of the xbmcid disc, I also made another iso of xbmcid, made a new disc and put it in today same thing froze at 32 percent, will try to clear cache files as recommended above, as always thanks for input.

Something you may want to try thats worked for me twice now, is take any old Iso (i used Ultimate boot disc 4) open the Iso updater, instead of selecting the XBMC Iso I selected UB4 unzipped the update pack, ended up with 5 Rar files, added them to the iso updater queue made the iso and burned it, its worked for installing as a dash and Ive installed to F and moved to apps and had no issues either time
I got you and another guy mixed up with similar issues, thats where the Ndure thing came from

Holy smokes got it !!!! and your never gonna believe this for some reason I just came to the conclusion that the screensaver for xbmcid disc is what was freezing my transfers, Here is what I did, I just kept moving my remote so screensaver did not come up, and the ....apps,dash,emus, ect all loaded no issues and so far so good, only problem is surreal64 does not see the games and will not refresh, I will research the site. Operation FUbox is close to an end...........we will see.
