One step closer to a xbox media centre

Made a new cable so I can plug a normal usb drive into the xbox I bought, it's a real bodge, but it seems to have worked so far. As I think I already mentioned, armed only with a leatherman I have frankensteined together an existing USB extension lea...

XBox is soft modded!

Whoopya! Accidentally deleted xbmc though, so back to the computer to reinstall it on a USB drive again.

XBMC is installed!

Wow nothing on the blog for a week now
