Section III : Eliminating the need for a PC

This section will cover the following items:

Ø Copying Homebrew utilities to the XBOX to run from the harddrive
Ø Auto-Adding items to the menu of Evolution-X

Hardware required for this section:

Ø XBOX
Ø Crossover cable if connecting directly to the pc
Ø Standard LAN cable (CAT5) if connecting to a hub
Ø Television with at least RCA Jacks (so we can see what we are doing)

Software Required for this section:

Ø XboxCopy (025 is the current)
Ø boXplorer (B96 is current)

Procedures:
1) Copying Homebrew utilities to the XBOX: with the video, power, LAN, and controller all plugged in, turn the XBOX on. When it has finished booting and is now at the evolution screen, FTP into the XBOX using FlashFXP (connect to the site we made in “Section I”). Once connected, double click on the “F” drive. You will need to create two directories here, an “apps” directory, and a “games” directory. Once these two directories have been made, double click on the “apps” directory, create a directory and call it whatever you like (this is for “xboxcopy”), but I try to name directories something that will be easy to remember as I sometimes consider myself slow :P. After you have created the new directory, transfer all of the files from the “xboxcopy” rar file you uncompressed on your PC. If you system is set up correctly, you should be able to disconnect from the FTP, reboot the XBOX, and go to the “Launch Menu” menu, then to the “apps” menu, then you SHOULD be able to see “XbCopy” on the menu. If you are able to, reconnect to the xbox via FlashFXP from your PC and repeat the process over again (minus creating the “apps” and “games” directories of course) for “XboxPlorer”. Now that you have two of the Homebrew Utilities (the two best out atm IMHO) on your XBOX, you now have no need for a PC in regards to copying original games to the hard drive. You will, however, still need a PC when putting Homebrew utilities on the XBOX or whatever else.
