I managed to do it from the dashboard. Didn't have to go on from the back end at all apparently

Hmmm I don't appear to have that file. Here's what I see in my file list. I did open up guisettings.xml to have a look but there is no reference to the shortcuts in there that I can see. I did however find reference for the shortcuts in C:/config.xml and changed them to point to my Emulators folder (F:/Emulators) but it appears to have had no effect on my dashboard

Xbmc

How do I modify the shortcuts on my dashboard? Right now I have to go to the file manager and then browse for the emulator I want to use and load the default.xbe file. I would like to be able to select "emulators" on my dashboard and just select the one I want from that list. Is this possible?

Here's the one I chose. Menu after menu after menu, each one had more options than the last EVOX 1.0-1.4 (It was this or 1.6) EVOXM8+ (512KB) (the choices here were 256, 512, and 1024) EVOXM8+ DEFAULT(512) UNLEASH UX ECE 67 YES DVD UX It worked and I have a dashboard on boot...so I guess I didn't screw it up that bad

Thanks for that info it is super helpful I answered a few of my own questions before you replied. I took a leap and downloaded and burnt the OGXbox installer. Used it to format the hdd and flashed a new bios (holy crap there are a pile of them to choose from!) I will definitely take your advice and recommendations and start playing. I would like to flash the Evoxm8 but I'm faced with a dozen different options/versions. Is there a writeup somewhere on how I narrow it down?

I've purchased a box with the executor 2.3B chip as far as I can tell. Please forgive my noobishness, it's been years since I've played with this stuff. I managed to find an install guide for this chip but nothing that really tells me how to use it. The three switches on the front for starters. From what I can gather, Switch one appears to be enable/disable the chip. Switch 2 is to protect/unprotect the bios from flashing? and switch 3 is for Bank 1 and Bank 2? Can anybody verify and explain purpose of the third one? Next question, the hdd is set up in ways I don't understand. I'm showing like 4 different drive paths/partitions. C, E, F, G I think and they are full of junk I don't know what I can safely delete (and how)? The C is where my emulators and roms are stored and it is partitioned for like 100mb and full, whereas there is 4 or 5 gigs of stuff in the other partitions. Can I just take out this hdd (so I don't mess with a working machine), put in a different one and install an OS on it? I want to start fresh with a clean OS (I have the newest hexen image burned already), I want only one partition, a different dashboard perhaps (I don't particularly like the XBMC on there) Next question is how do I find out which bios is installed? Should I install a new one or just leave it?

Hi all. I used to have a modded box like 10 years ago. Just recently picked up another one and am scrambling for faq's and how-to's to relearn. Been digging through the forums for a day now. Does anybody have a "for dummies" writeup to give me a refresher course on the different chips and options, and(more specifically) how to get things set up and working after the chip install as far as bios and dashboards etc?
