Pics as promised: Case is a mismash. black base like the DVT consoles, jewel swap to green, green paint on dvd cover lettering, also gave the controller a jewel swap as well. usual 80-wire + startech IDE->SATA TSOP'd with cerbios 2.3.2 beta + udma6 patch. lower part of the filesystem picture shows where to drop any apps/shortcuts to have them appear on the xdk dash on boot, also why there's an "A" at the start so it appears at the top of the list.

HDD Ready is a term used by the community, its nothing else than the game in a folder with all loose files. The name comes from the past when there was released a pack called "hdd ready pack for og xbox" to download. Then you have the other terms: Redump: a full raw copy of the dvd disc, the xbox will not play it in this state, it needs to be at least converted to xiso. This file is the start point to create a good rip. Stay away from pre ripped packs like the hdd ready pack. Xiso: This is a redump with the video partition removed so its playable. Xiso also keeps the original dvd structure intact for the best compatibility. These xiso files are created with repackinator extracted-Xiso: These are also xiso files but they are build using another process. Where the xiso build by repackinator keeps the original structure, with this kind of xiso the dvd structure is deleted. Because of this the compatibility is a little bit less for some games but has most of the time smaller files than xiso by repackinator. A tool to buid these is extract-xiso CCI: These are Compressed Cerbios Images. They are just compressed Xiso build by repackinator. Here the original structure is also intact. With some games there is a penalty in loading times. HDD ready: These are like said before loose files in folders, these games are patched by dvd2xbox to be able to play. There are lots of games that are not running as hdd ready. You can find the cerbios compatibility lists here

Just throwing my hat into this; I always boot to xdk dash then have a shortcut xbe to a normal dash on f, had some issues doing that with xbmc4gamers, but the emu station variant works fine. I'll add some pics of console/filesystemlayout once I'm home

Now I'm really confused (＠_＠) The 60GB had nothing on it but Rocky5's UnleashX build (FTP update), two games (Guilty Gear X2 and Psyvarier), and the Cerbios boot animations + ini file. Neither wanted to work via folder. How would I go about running them off XISO, just to be 100% certain? I'm about to try out CCI's off re-downloaded Vimm's XISO's. (・・;)
