hastings298 Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to Google Drive but I lucked into an X3 xbox for £16 and it came rammed with skins and old BIOSes, some of which I recognise and many I don't. Perhaps someone would like them for archival purposes? Please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Yes, interested in them. Many are probably already on xbins FTP server or the two web mirror sites that have popped up with much of that servers content accessible from a web browser. But, you never know until you look at all of the content. Does the console have any DLC installed or Mimesis content on the E drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 I would take a copy. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely some DLC installed i did notice that, didn't think to look for mimesis but will check for this as well in as soon as possible.

HDShadow Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Skins I'm always interested in and there are certainly skin names there I don't recognise. From the ones I do recognise it looks like many of them are EvoX so they might all be. Still interested even if they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdarkdestiny Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 The upper skin folder are EvolutionX skins and the lower one's are for UnleashX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what it was about the EvoX skinning, perhaps that it is just as easy as replacing a picture or two of an existing skin, but it did inspire the 'creativity' of porn loving dudes. There are some really hard-core images in at least one EvoX skin pack I've seen and eye-watering anime pics involving things like ****girls and serious S&M. Why anyone would want to turn on (hah!) their Xbox and see that sort of stuff as a dashboard background I do not want to speculate. But UnleashX skinning was not immune from some of that type of material and there are two skins I've come across (innuendo not intended) which feature the notorious Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson sex videos as backgrounds. EDIT Thankfully the X Girls ones I've just had a quick look through are just "spicy" - nothing to frighten the horses. Plenty of skins I've not seen too in both packs, in fact most of the UnleashX ones I don't recognise. Thanks again to hastings298 for providing them.

Now that you mention it though, a Google Drive repository of all the OG Xbox skins people come across in random eBay pickups or whatever would actually be pretty cool. There was a handful of skin in there that were pretty cool that i'd never seen before, the GreenBox one for example, and others that I've randomly seen before and liked e.g. the Enterprise D / Stargate SG-1 background but it would be really nice to have a central repository for all the skins and custom backgrounds etc people made back in the day. P.S Probably can leave out the Pam Anderson and Paris Hilton / Animé bondage stuff though ^^ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Worked my way through all the EvoX skins in the download last night. As I thought many I'd not seen before so definitely a good find as it contains stuff you won't get in most of the other EvoX/Skin packs floating around. Couple of things: the 'EvoX' set contains at least nine Avalaunch skins. First one is a dead giveaway: "avadash" and there is also "Default" which is the complete default Avalaunch dash skin. If anyone wants to know the other names I can post them. I think there are only nine but its possible I missed one or two as there are over 140 skins in that pack. Oh yes, there's also a MXM (Media X Menu) skin in there too. A few of the EvoX skins are a little more 'spicy' than some of the others; the three seXyboX ones included might be found overly 'challenging' for the easily offended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious what the MXM (Media X Menu) skin would look like but I can't find it, is it this one? Because that is just peak 00's right there Edit: No it's not, it's this awesome totally over the top menu with this intro: Edited April 9, 2021 by hastings298 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 The EvoX skin pack name of the MXM one is "X2 Blue". Its actually double packed. Indeed it includes that quite impressive WMV too in the "media" folder. Could easily be adapted for a UnleashX background or loading FMV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
