Look in my sig, download the "Quick Upgrade.zip" extract it and read the instructions or just stick the prep folder on the root of E and launch the default.xbe inside.

Now stick XBMC in the C partition or the E partition to boot that dashboard.

Ok I did that and it went into a never ending loop with a Xbox screen...info and at the end press A...if you do so nothing happens....i had to use Slayers to reinstall my soft mod.

Did you install it to E:\Prep\default.xbe ( other files folders )

As there is no reason for it to not work. LED goes red, you get asked what region of splinter cell you own and then it installs the softmod and saves.

What happened exactly?

Yep put it all in E: and clicked on the Xbe,,,,,

I got this screen...pressed A....then got the "softmod not installed" pop up box....Now i thought is might be because i used Slayers 2.7 to soft mod the xbox...so i re-modded the xbox with YOUR disc...then tried again....same thing...even from a cold boot i got the above screen...the onlt way to get out of it was to soft mod again to evox dash etc.

I also put Apps/xbmc in C: E: F: just to see if the dash would boot.

It's the quick upgrade you want, not the quick update, that's for use if you already have my softmod installed.
( the update won't install if my softmod isn't installed on the system )

Quick Upgrade.zip


Just looking I will need to update the "Press (A) to install the 2016 Softmod" text to "Press (A) to update your 2016 Softmod installation"
