    Hey, I've been using evox on my xbox for the last little while and have been backing up some of my old xbox games onto it. I've noticed that with a few of the games evox lists it twice (sonic heros, rainbow six 3...). I was wondering how to fix this. Also, I was if there was a way to rename the names evox displays for these backed up games (ex. Shadow Ops: Red Mercury is listed as SO:RM), just to make them look cleaner. Thanks.

    You have to edit the evox.ini file, which can be found in you C drive. make sure u make a backup 1st. when you open it up there there will be some crap... scroll down until u all the menu setting stuff wich looks like the below example. my inserts marked with <<<>>> and are in all caps. read all of them carefully

    Section "Root"
    {<<<THIS IS THE STUFF THAT U FIRST SEE WHEN U BOOT UP EVoX>>>
    Item "Launch DVD<<<HERE YOU EDIT THE NAME OF WHAT WILL SHOW UP WHEN YOU BOOT UP YOUR XBOX, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE U COULD RENAME THIS TO PLAY DVD OR SUMTHING>>>",ID_Launch_DVD
    Item "Trainers",ID_trainer
    Item "MS Dashboard",ID_MS_Dash
    Item "Reboot",ID_Quick_Reboot
    Item "Power Off",ID_Power_Off
    Section "System Utils"
    {<<<SEE HOPWS THERE'S A SECTION FOR SYSTEN UTILS? THIS CRAP BELOW ME IS WHAT WILL POP UP ONCE YOU CLICK ON SYSTEM UTILS>>>
    Item "Settings",ID_Settings
    Item "Flash BIOS",ID_Flash_Bios
    Item "Backup",ID_Backup
    Item "Skins",ID_Skins
    }
    Section "Launch Menu"
    {<<<SAME HERE. AS YOU CAN SEE THE 1ST SECTION UNDER LAUNCH MENU IS GAMES>>>
    Section "Games"
    {
    AutoAddItem "e:\games\"<<<SEE HOW IT AUTOADDS ITEMS? THAT MEANS THAT ANY DEFAULT.XBE WITHIN E:\GAMES\ WILL BE DETECTED. THAT IS WHY WHENEVER YOU COPY A GAME TO E OR F(SEE BELOW) IT AUTODETECTS AND ADDS THE ITEM. IF THE GAME IS ALREADY LISTED IN THERE MANUALLY THEN IT WILL SHOW UP TWICE, THAT'S ONE OF YOU PROBLEMS. TO SOLVE IT, DELETE THE MANUAL CODE. EXAMPLE:Item "SONIC HEROES", "F:\Games\SONIC\DEFAULT.xbe" <THATS WHAT YOU WANT TO DELETE. ALTENITIVELY IF YOU RENAME THE .XBE TO SOMTING ELSE (NOTDEFAULT.XBE), IT WONT BE AUTODETCTED. WHAT U NEED TO DO IT GO INTO THE SO:RM FOLDER AND FIND DEFAULT.XBE AND RENAME IT TO RENAME.XBE (OR ANYTHING YOU WANT AS LONG AS ITS NOT DEFAULT.XBE) THEN U NEED TO MANULLY LIST THE GAME TO RENAME IT. EXAMPLE: Item "Shadow Ops: Red Mercury", "F:\Games\SORM\RENAME.xbe" WHAT IS BELOW IS ME ADDING HALO MODS WHICH ARENT DETECTED B/C THEY ARENT NAMED DEFAULT.XBE THE ORIGINAL HALO IS NAMED THAT AND I DONT WANT TO DELETE MY ALREADY AUTODETECTED HALO>>>
    AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
    Item "Halo-TRAINED", "F:\Games\Halo\trainer.xbe"
    Item "Halo NMP 2", "F:\Games\Halo\halonmp2.xbe"
    Item "Halo CXE 1", "F:\Games\Halo\halocxe.xbe"
    Item "Halo AC's CMP", "F:\Games\Halo\haloconv.xbe"
    SortAll
    }
    Section "Apps" <<<IF U WANT U CAN RENAME APPS TO APPLICATIONS>>>
    {
    AutoAddItem "e:\apps\"
    AutoAddItem "f:\apps\"
    SortAll
    }<<<IF YOU WANT U CAN EVEN ADD MORE SECTIONS THAN JUST GAMES AND APPS, FOR EXAMPLE IN MY OTHER EVOX.INI I ADDED AN EMULATOR AND HOMBREW SECTION IN MY MENU>>>
    }

    Well i hoped that helped a bit. you need to ftp into your xbox to find the evox.ini file in the C drive. if u really cant figure it out. post you evox.ini and if i am nice i'dd do it for you.
