[olug] xbmc on original xbox

[Awais Khan]

My two cents: actually more like a testimonial

so far I have two of dynatron's boxes. Im telling you guys, he knows what
hes talking about. I think he has pictures on his webpage too of the ones
hes made. After I got mine, I even repainted it a military camo, but back to
the topic. I really like the Duo chips, because the 2nd bios is something
you can use. I have one side set to go straight to XBMC while the other
boots to a different menu. Basically the most durable way to mod your box is
the chip... they is sturdy
