[xbmc4gamers]

Sorry I misread your post, didn't see you had created 2 games directories on the same partition.

On your dash hover over the Games icon and press the white button and select edit source at the top of the list.

Click add and point it to your games 1 folder, you can add multiple sources. That should solve your issue. Hope that helps.

Push the little white button, go to settings, advanced and uncheck "enable fast game parsing"

Go back to your dash and click games and it will rescan the games folders and your games will appear.. once this is done you can go back into the settings and recheck "enable fast game parsing" so that it doesn't rescan each time you click on the game menu or reboot the Xbox which speeds everything up.

Remember to do the above steps every time you add more games otherwise they wont appear in the dash.

Hope that helps.

Would love to see some photos if you have or ever get around to building this.

Does it feel better than an OG XBOX D-pad? Can you use analog sticks from a 360 controller in an OG XBOX control?

Looks good, The 360 thumbsticks work great in the S controllers.. First thing i replace when i get a new controller with worn thumbsticks.

Haven't seen a good option to replace duke thumbsticks yet.

[The Foxbox]

Very Nice Work 

[Marvel XBox Arcade Cab]

Nice work.

[Rusty Metal Shielding]

Im aware, but for whatever reason when i put it back together with the top shield it doesn't feel snug...more spongey lol

My ide cable folding isn't as good as yours, Look great.

Leaving the top shielding out hasn't seemed to affected the units in anyway and helps with my lack of patience. 

[Finally Finished My First Paintjob]

Looks crisp, love the leds.

[Black Screen Softmod (Tried Everything)]

Use a AV cable, cheap enough to buy or find someone to borrow one off.

Make sure you copy the game save and the softmod file from usb to Xbox.

I use the 007 method to softmod my Xboxes and it works fine just a few more steps then other methods.

Select mission, select first mission, wait till it loads. quit mission, go to load mission and select Xbox hard disk...follow softmod prompts.

Tutorial here with info for 007 softmod.

 

[Softmodding XBox Using a Psp 1000]

Thanks for the info, lol what cant you soft mod with...I've used a old pen camera.

[Cloning Hdd With Pc]

Or buy another sata adapter and a Ide power cable splitter.  That way it can all be done from the xbox...

Ive used this method and the total cost of those parts was $7 on ebay so not a big expense.

[Cloning Hdd With Pc]

Use HDD raw copy tool, then find something to expand or create a new partition on the drive to use the additional space.

This can be one from the xbox depending on what dashboard you are using.

[Original Xbox Mini Classic]

Looks great, i personally like how you went over the top and made a actual retail box for it lol.

Its no coincidence there used to be a book called the bomb makers cook book which had s whole chapter on what you could do with the stuff you’ll find in the average kitchen.   
FYI the book is banned basically everywhere, and I only ever saw one copy of it back in the early 80’s owned by a friends whos father was high ranking in the Army.

 

Back on topic the metal shield isn't really needed. I have several Xboxes that don't have one, with no ill effects.

I thought the bottom shielding also acted as ground for the motherboard...Didn't know you could remove it entirely, good to know.

I remove the top shielding as it seems to get in the way when iv upgraded the hard drive and becomes a pain to line everything up and get the top cover to fit snug again.

[XBMC4Gamers New Splash]

Looks great, Haven't seen to many xbmc4gamers splash screens available on the net.

Great work thanks.

[Free 1.6 needs a repair]

I powered on the xbox and the dash wouldnt load.. it just showed a error but it said it loaded the ftp server and continued to repeat the error down the screen.

I left it on and turned on my pc and used filezilla to ftp into the xbox..Deleted the dashboard off my E: Drive and ftp over my backup from my pc.

So i assume the ftp server is located somewhere else and not in the dashboard folder.

I was using rocky5 softmod and xbmc4gamers dash.

[Free 1.6 needs a repair]

Are you able to ftp into it? i once screwed up files in my dashboard and it wouldn't boot the dash, but it loaded the ftp server.

So i ftp into the xbox using filezilla ftp client on my pc and corrected the files. (transferred over a working dashboard).

In your case it may be as simple as deleting the shortcut you created that started the whole mess.

Any chance you nulled the harddrive key before it messed up? if so its possible to use something like Xboxhdm on a pc to unlock it.

Also I'm not sure why you tried to install a shortcut on your c drive, all my dashboards are installed and boot fine from the E: partition.
