I can't see why it would destroy the standard functionality, other than
if<BR>
you actually break it during modding. In my experience, it's very
unlikely<BR>
that one break the X-box during modification.<BR>
<BR>
The only drawback right now is that it's likely that X-Box Live doesn't
work<BR>
on a modded X-box running Mediaplayer as dashboard - but that will
probably<BR>
get solved as well.<BR>
<BR>
One huge (depending on your child's age) benefit of modding the machine
is<BR>
that games could be played from the hdd instead of letting small
people<BR>
fumble with the discs with their jam-sticky fingers.<BR>

<BR>
Good timing!<BR>
<BR>
Just persuaded my son to get an xbox for his birthday :-)<BR>
<BR>
Is it advisable to mod it with Xecuter2 Lite and run Mediaplayer as
the<BR>
dashboard without screwing up the ease of use or standard
functionality.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I don't want to spoil his birthday present.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers<BR>

&gt; Hi Tony!<BR>
&gt; <BR>
&gt; I use Xbox Mediaplayer as dashboard. Works like a treat, the
later<BR>
&gt; versions<BR>
&gt; includes ftp-server and of course games and stuff could be
started<BR>
>from
&gt; as well - so for my use (primarily movies and pictures and
some<BR>
gaming)<BR>
&gt; the<BR>
&gt; mediaplayer is perfect..<BR>
&gt; <BR>

&gt; <BR>
&gt; I know some of you chaps have modded your xboxes, so perhaps you
can<BR>
offer<BR>
&gt; some<BR>
&gt; advice:<BR>
&gt; <BR>
&gt; I just got the Xecuter2 Lite (Should have been pro, but finger
slipped<BR>
&gt; when<BR>
&gt; ordering :-() and have installed it okay (I think, had to squint
at<BR>
solder<BR>
&gt; points - anyone know where I can get a magnifying glass on a
stand<BR>
kinda<BR>
&gt; thing?)<BR>
&gt; <BR>
&gt; The xbox boots and shows &quot;Xectuter2&quot; instead of
&quot;Microsoft&quot;, so it<BR>
seems<BR>
&gt; my<BR>
&gt; hit<BR>
&gt; and miss soldering worked :)<BR>
&gt; <BR>
&gt; I presume the next step is to get evoX or some such dashboard on
there<BR>
&gt; from<BR>
&gt; a<BR>
&gt; CD-RW or DVR-R/RW?<BR>
&gt; (Leaving aside the fact that all buring software hangs on my
machine<BR>
ATM<BR>
&gt; :-(<BR>
&gt; )<BR>
&gt; <BR>
&gt; What is the best dashboard to get and which version?&nbsp;
There seems to<BR>
be a<BR>
&gt; million verions of evox/evolutionX (are they the same thing)
and<BR>
neXgen<BR>
&gt; out<BR>
&gt; there.<BR>
&gt; <BR>
&gt; The main reason for modding is to run xboxmediaplayer to stream
audio<BR>
and,<BR>
&gt; maybe, video over the net (maybe I won't need that SLiMP3
after<BR>
all...),<BR>
&gt; so<BR>
&gt; it's whatever works best with that....<BR>
&gt; <BR>
&gt; Also, are there any other &quot;cool&quot; uses of a
hacked xbox ppl are aware<BR>
of?<BR>
&gt; <BR>
&gt; cheers,<BR>
&gt; <BR>
