Obtaining XBMC4XBox

Note: This is a XBMC4XBox specific page and does not apply to other flavors of XBMC (Linux, Mac or Windows).

Where can I download executable binary (compiled) versions of XBMC4XBox?

Not from this site or any other site that are in affiliation with us, (do not ask us where either). Team-XBMC (xbmc.org members) only host and maintain the XBMC source code. Whereas, Team-XBMC4XBox only host and maintain the XBMC4XBox source code. For legal reasons, no Xbox™ binaries will be released from us or distributed by us until a legal non-MS compiler is available (so please do not ask for any files not posted here). (Note! XDK compiled binaries are NOT released or distributed by Team-XBMC). Do not ask or e-mail us requesting any Xbox files or asking where they can be downloaded from, thanks.
