I am having trouble setting up my Bios to run XBMC as my default dashboard. I have recently reformatted the hard drive and set it up using AID's very helpful and useful package. I have an Xenium Ice that I just flashed with a 256kb Evox M8 Plus v16 bios. I edited the bios to boot the first bank E:\XBMC\default.xbe and second as C:\xboxdash.xbe. But for some reason when I try to start XBMC from xenium's menu, it defaults to the xboxdash. I have verified that XBMC's default.xbe is correctly placed in E:\XBMC\ which it is. As of right now i can't boot anything but the xboxdash so I am stuck. I didn't want to tweak around to much with bios flashing and trying various things, so I thought I would research a little and post a topic. If anyone has any suggestions let me know, thanks ahead of time, -Brad

Ftp over the xboxmediacenter.xml to the pc and open it with WORDPAD.
(Delete the copy left in the xbmc dir, you will not need it.)
You will see this when you open it:
---------
<!-- When using XBMC as dashboard, define home directory here !-->
<!-- and move the XBMC xbe plus this xml config file to C:\ !-->
<!-- Example: <home>E:\Apps\XBMC\</home> !-->
<home>-</home>
---------
So if you have xbmc installed to F:\Apps in a folder called XBMC this is what to put in the home tag:
---------
<home>F:\Apps\XBMC\</home>
---------
The same goes for any partion be it C: E: or G:
After you have edited the xboxmediacenter.xml double check for errors.
Open the xboxmediacenter.xml with Internet Explorer. If it have any unclosed tags etc it will halt on the line with the error!
Then save it.
Ftp the default.xbe from the XBMC folder over to the pc and delete it from the xbox.
Goto C: and ftp over the default.xbe and the xboxmediacenter.xml
You may want to rename it to whatever your bios boots first (i.e.: evoxdash.xbe), unless you want to flash your modchip bios again to boot to a different order.
Also delete the E:\TDATA\0face008 folder.
Hope this helps. To me, this is the easiest way. _________________
