I have been using XBMC Xbox Media Centre on my xbox for some time now and I was searching the net for an updated build and came across XBMC Atlantis. Basically there is now a build that is available for your computer, whether it be Windows, Linux or MAC. All you need to do is install on your PC and then run the EXE and that's it you have a media centre. I have to say I was rather impressed with it. It can be downloaded from here: http://xbmc.org/download/

OK so I have got XBMC running on my Softmoded xbox and every time I start it up it goes into the evox dash. To save time and to make my life easier I wanted to make my xbox load directly into XBMCto do this you need to replace the default.xbe file with a shortcut to your xbmc default.xbe file. To do this you will need to download the XBE Shortcut Maker. Locate your XBMC default.xbe file, make a note of where it is located on your xbox. mine was stored in: e:\Apps\XBMC\default.xbe Launch the XBE Shortcut Maker and set the Target Path...

Do you have an old xbox that you bought years ago and played games on it for all of about 6 weeks? wondering what to do with it? well you could turn it in to a Media Center. that is what I did with mine, not only that you can put a bigger Hard Disk in too. I have my xbox running with a 250GB HDD, have an F: for Music, Movies, Pictures etc.... and then a G: that I can copy my games on to! saves me having to find the Games when I do decide to play on...

**Disclaimer** This is for your information only follow at your own risk I cannot beheld responsible if for any reason it goes wrong. This Tutorial will guide you on how to replace your HDD in your xbox with out affecting the original one, so if anything does go wrong you will still have a functioning xbox. OK so you have a softmodded xbox and you want to replace the original 8gb HDD with a bigger one, after all bigger is better. Assumption that you are using the evox or unleashedx dashboard's Equipment you need: Softmodded xbox (goes without saying) ...
