process is actually quite easy, and for this example we
will use EvolutionX. EvoX is a dashboard that has skinning
and FTP support among other things that make it a great
substitute to the MS Dash. So, let's get this thing installed.
1.
Get the latest EvoX - If you do not know where to acquire
this, check OUT
XBINS ARTICLE
2.
Unpack the file and you should see this
3.
Now we need to delete all the junk that we do not need
to copy to our hard drive, but before we do this, let's
go over what we have here.
- evox.ini
This is the file that allows you to customize
EvoX. I do not have time to cover everything that
is involved with editing this file, so for this tutorial
we will just leave it alone. If you want to customize,
check out this tutorial.
- evoxdash.xbe
This is the actual dashboard file. This is what
your Xecuter 3 will actually look for when it is booting
up. Leave the name alone.
- Skins
Directory
This is where all the skins are placed. When skins
are downloaded they need to be unpacked here and into
their own folders. For skins check out the excellent
http://www.allxboxskins.com/
As for
the rest of the stuff, who cares. You'll probably never
use it. So let's delete all the other stuff in the archive.
This is what you should have left.
4.
Now it is time to copy all the files over to your XBOX.
Remember that the X3 Config Live is programmed to look
for "evoxdash.xbe" and by default scopes the C partition,
so that is where we will place it. So, fire up FlashFXP
or your choice of a FTP client and login to your XBOX.
5.
Now the fun part. We simply need to move to the C drive,
and then copy over the EvoX contents.
6.
After this we need to tell the X3 Config Live program
we do not need to boot directly into it. To do this:
X3 Config Live -> Configure X3 Bios -> Autostar
to X3 Config Live = Disabled.
I assure
you that virtually every dashboard has similar install
procedures. Some are different but always consult the
readme or NFO file before installing.
