My chipped Xbox is on it's way :) (too lazy to do it myself so I bought one)

Now I need to know what PC apps everyone is running in order to talk to your Xbox :confused:
I want to play streaming MP3/Movies/pictures on the box without putting them on the HDD ( Think I need Relax for this)
Also do I need any sort of FTPing app :confused:

I've had a look around the various sites lie xbox-scene but it's a bit of a mine field for a nOOb
My box will have :Evolution-X
Xbox Media Player v2.4
DVDX v2.0
DVD2Xbox v04_8
Boxplorer v0.96
HDDLoader v1.0a
Xtoolbox v0.41

anything else I need for either box or PC ??

Cheers :D

Sounds like you've got it all sorted mate :)

You'll need an FTP client such as FlashFXP to transfer files from your PC. It just connects to the IP of the X-Box with username & password xbox/xbox (you can change this in the EvoX settings).

I also use XBOX ISO Transfer (XIT). Great for extracting ISO's and transferring on the fly to your X-Box. Great speeds too :)

I use Craxtion to make my multi-game discs too.
Just knocked up my first skin for Menu-X too (ready for when it comes out and I can backup my copy to one disc :);)):

Oh yeah, and and DVD Writer is essential :D

:D

:cool: so just an FTP client and Relax :)

can't wait to get my grubby little mits on it .....

DVD writer in my pc is a +R only :(

DJ:

Why is a DVD-Writer essential? I thought you could copy and run everything you want fromt he hard drive?

Thanks,

Steve.

like the picture djdunk ive just got both copies of grand theft auto for the xbox as well:D once you stick a 120 gig drivein you should be ok i have 50 games on mine and still have 30gig spare , keep a lot of disks to one side as if i put them all on ill fill the drive easy;)

i was well suprised when i opened up my mates x-box last summer to chip it, it was basically a shuttle. it had onboard gfx, cpu and heatsink and had a seagate hdd connected by ide cables. no wonder it was soo easy to get linux installed on it :o

MW

will the Xbox only read DVD-r's :confused:

nope but it is bloody fussy about what disc it will and won't read, so once you've found a + or - it likes stick with it ;)

Si

I've only got a -R writer. The X-Box has read every DVD I've thrown at it so far :)

using Bulkpaq +r's at the mo ..... what do you find works with it ?

just bought some -r bulk paq's but mine point blank refuses to read ritek +r's (the purple top ones) and quite a few iso9660 disc forinstance a mame roms disc i have to either read on pc and ftp over or plumb in a different dvd drive to the box.

Si
Ps It like datawrites -r and imitations :)

I can see my buying a +/- writer V soon :(

I'm using orange topped Ritek Bulkpaq -R's no problem (from SVP). Also use some Memorex slim DVD case jobbies that work great. Thats with the Thompson X-Box drive. Depends a bit on which drive you have inside yours.

yep mines got that samsung 616 in it :( might have a bash at the firmware flash later :)

when I get my hand's on the box and try all this stuff out I'll be back with loads of questions :D beware :p

Back home on friday and It should be waiting for me :)
