The EvoX.ini file controls the menu structure within EvoX. If 'Games' or whatever doesn't appear, then there is a problem with the ini file, i.e. there is no 'Games' menu defined.

Have a look and see!

i use xbmc now but when i was using evox there was something on the menu like "launch dvd" or something like that to start up my games, under xbmc its easier to start it up, try and find something like that, even try installing another dash.

you need to have a section in your evox.ini that looks something like this, might need slight editing to suit your needs:

Section "Games"
{
AutoAddItem "e:\games\"
AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
SortAll
}

what this basically does is create a menu called "Games" and then scan e:\games and f:\games - if it find any games in those folder it will automatically list them in alphabetical order in your new games menu. I can email you a complete working evox.ini if that is easier for you.

another thing to check out is thaat nothing is REM'd out - if the line in evox.ini begins with a # symbol it will not be processed. Was it working before or has something become corrupted.

Amitm, keep in mind that these lines digthebox references are if you have your games in e:\games or f:\games. If your backups are in a different partition/folder you will need to adjust accordingly.

I know I've seen an EvoX ini guide around somewhere, check xbox-scenes or google for it. If you learn how the file works you may find some ways to customize the dashboard to better suit you.
