The original Chimp tutorial?

Really the only reason to use Chimp with a chipped Xbox is if there is stuff on the old HDD you want to copy to the new HDD and you don't have any other method available. Otherwise with a chipped Xbox all you should have to do is put the new HDD drive in the Xbox and cold boot an installer disc like...

The first thing I did was praise the guide but I have been helping with questions on a number of other dedicated Xbox forums about the use of Chimp, 2618 in particular, for years. I don't claim to be any sort of expert I'm just a long time Chimp2618 user. From my experience of the real world of novi...

A bit late but I have finally worked out what the problem was. It was due to me using a old version of XBMC. I do this for a very good reason, I won't bore you with the details but it is connected with the 'improvements' made since to the otherwise excellent File Manager operation. The cause of the ...

Sorry to add this a bit late but the patched XBE that Rocky5 referred to is simply that, a patched default.xbe which in essence converts it to NTSC. That way it will run at 480p on a PAL console region changed to NTSC. Obviously the game has to be installed first (DVD2Xbox) and then the patched 'NTS...

I have nothing but praise for the bulk of the Chimp guide here but really what is the point of using a Slayers disc? It just seems to over-complicates things unnecessarily even for chipped machines. It just adds another layer of possible problems. Also the importance of using Chimp2618 rather than a...

I want to add folder art to XBMC4Xbox. Using the UnleashX dash with it running as an app I've simply added a default.tbn to things like apps usually simply renaming a copy of the icon.png/jpg I use for UnleashX. The problem with UnleashX is that there is some sort of unwritten maximum total file siz...

I was actually going through XBMC looking for reference to it yesterday and found where the Debug Log option is and that it is set to off by default.

If I have reason to I'll know how to provide one now so thanks for the information.

I'll certainly try it so thanks for that. But I'm suspicious now that there may well be things broken in those particular skins in the repository/original download. I installed XBMC v1.1.0 and v2.01 from 2004 and 2006 respectively. With v2.01 none of those skins worked either when using Checkout and...

After reading up more about TortoiseSVN what I did with these skins without the build files is use the Export rather than Checkout option. This strips away the SVN directories so you should get just the working copy of the files. That appeared to go fine but it didn't help get BLUEBlack working. I t...

To be honest I don't know anything about debug logs so if it could be explained how to create one or where to find it if it is created automatically it would be very helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for all the info and help particularly the stuff about stopping TortoiseSVN invading the context menu. That was indeed what particularly irked me about it. Yes, the default for Windows is to have certain key files hidden, I've known about that for a long time. Indeed it is probably safer this...

You mean use build files from another skin in the set which do come with them? Well I did think to do and did try myself that. Maybe it was just because of the one I used but the build command window indicated that there were errors: some files could not be found. It did create a Textures.xpr in &qu...

I downloaded a XBMC4Xbox skins "SuperPack" I found elsewhere which is marked as being 4 years old. It contains twenty-nine skins and ten of those I'd not come across before so was interested in seeing. However the download must have come from a SVN repository as I soon discovered it contai...

I have checked and the one I downloaded and also the one I had used previous were both Back-Row v2.1 according to the accompanying skin.xml. Anything you can do to get it working would be much appreciated but please don't treat this as an important matter, particularly if you're working on sorting o...

Thanks for the response. A few months back you did some very helpful work on resolving the minor display problems in Classic-Xbox skin (my skin of choice) with > v3.00 XBMC4Xbox. Back-Row, at least the version I now have, as I've only just discovered, has issues with XBMC4Xbox versions dating back t...

Has anyone here fixed any of the multiple faults the Back-Row skin has to at least make it usable? I ask because I didn't realise just how bad the the problems were after having it on various Xboxes but not testing it out as a possible alternative if I ever get bored of my preferred XBMC skin. I hav...

I've been meaning to post again in this thread about the fix for the previous problems described. I've noticed something interesting since then. I run XBMC4Xbox on several Xboxes as an app which is why I didn't realise that the skin fix must have also included some other 'tweaks'. I don't know what ...

I've been adding my own default.tbn icons for games etc and installing others to XBMC4Xbox for a long time but what I've realised I don't know how to do is get it to display icons for the actual game saves I did a quick search here and and the wiki on thumbnails I've used as reference for this sort ...

Have you tried cold booting HeXEn or other installer/recovery discs? That should still work if the chip and the DVD drive are OK. If it doesn't then it could be a DVD drive read problem. Try it with an original game and also anything else apart from your HeXEn disc. Of course whatever it is should h...
