XBMC4Xbox

So i just made a USB Port dingy (idk how to call it) using one of those Gamepad extension cables and a Tablet USB Cable.
And it works (The USB has a Red flashing Light so i know that the USB works)
Now i just want to add ROMS (for my Emulators i burned on a CD) to the USB so i don't have to burn new CD's just for a new rom,but
how can i set the emulator to load the roms from the USB? There are Directory settings but i can't find the USB Directory on the list : /
Can someone help me out with this?

I am doubtful about the emulators supporting this function.

You can use the roms over ftp. Most emulators have this feature.

I am not sure about FTP.

[Most?] Madmab edition emulators do support Samba shares. Either way, network shares are a better way to go.

Ok sorry my fault. I mean smb.

Whats SMB?

It is a term referring to network file sharing in Windows.
SMB = Samba = Windows file share

Could someone give me a easy tutorial for FTP'ing with the default XBOX System (no custom launcher)

You need to be modded to use FTP. In other words, you need to launch a custom dash.

That sucks : /
Well gotta have to wait until i get some new DVD-Rs for it.

How are DVD-Rs going to help on an unmodded box?

My xbox has a xecuter chip.

Then you're modded. Connect to FTP... For that please search

all tutorials i found are for Evo-x or whatever its called,and I dont have a custom/modified dashboard for finding the ip stuff.

Simply install xbmc. Search for slayers 2.7 or 3.1 and switch with that to ftp.

Unless you can connect to the modchip with FTP(? I have little experience with modchips), there are only two* other ways to get a custom dash onto the xbox, with a DVD/CD, or by plugging the hard drive into a PC. If the hard drive is locked you will need to hot swap it and use XBHDM on a PC with an IDE port. If its unlocked you can plug it into to the IDE port or a USB/IDE hard drive caddy/adapter and transfer the files with Xplorer360 on Windows.

*you can also hot swap it to another xbox but I'm assuming you don't have another.

Wait so can i just install xbmc using a DVD-R ?

Yes u can install it by a DVD.
But much clearer is this way:
1-->Bios on Chip with link to the default.xbe from XBMC
2----> Flash This bios on your chip
3------> get a DVD to boot your box with it
4-------->ftp to the adress that evoX on slayers disk is listen to
5---------> copy the newest xbmc to the path in point 1
6---------->Fire up (Boot XD) your Box and Have Fun

There are three ways to get files onto an xbox:
- through the ethernet port (FTP)
- through the DVD drive (use a DVD)
- through a game controller port (use a gamesave memory stick, or a plain old USB stick via a 'selfmade USB dingy')

Make:

(gazillions of other guides out there too.)

(available elsewhere too, if you can work g00g1e.)

BTW, years ago, I got one of these which is extremely neat.
