Hi guys, I've just got my xbox modded by a friend of a friend of a friend, you know how this works... And were I live (Portugal) it's very difficult to find someone who do this so I took the oportunity with no questions asked. Now, my problems are, I don't know wich chip he used, in the screen apears the normal MS logo and under it "Xecuter2", so here am I on Xecuter forum! :D
But I don't know wich version! Behind the xbox there aren't any bank selectors as I've seen in pics in this forum. To be true I don't know if it will do anything for me to know the version. My xbox is a v1.3 or v1.4 (2002 I think). The dashboard is the normal MS, but I want more from my machine, I want XBMC as 2nd dashboard (it looked the best to me), connect it to pc, some old games emulator, etc. So what I have to do to have this? I read so many tutorials that it melted my brains, I can't install a dashboard because I don't have a pc connection (MS dash don't let me right?), I'm afraid to mess with the bios because I don't know how to change the bank, so I don't want to loose the "backup plan".
It seems to me it's the only way, but, and if the bios is protected? Searching the net I found "auto-installer deluxe", it will work for me? It's one good solution?

Sorry for the big text and bad english.
I'll apreciate all the help you can give me. Thanks:)

See if you can open the Xbox and take a picture of the chip. If you are looking at the front of the Xbox, it will be in the left hand side, about half way back. Since you said there are no switches, I'm wondering if it is a soft mod. At any rate, yes you can download an auto installer and have that install your new dashboards.
