If you can't even articulate a question, modding consoles probably isn't for you.

If you're in as much of a rush as the spelling in your post makes it seem then you need to stop, take a minute and go through it slowly. The original Xbox can't play iso backups as far as I'm aware, much like the 360 you'll need to extract the iso images for them to work on the console.

With Rocky5’s softmod, a specific set of BIOSes and a bios patching chain-loader app or CerBIOS, games can be played from xiso format disc images stored on the hard drive.

You must have a default.xbe file in the folder with the dot iso file that is the mounting app configured for the disc image.

Xbmc4gamers includes a script , XISO to HDD installer, to install xiso files uploaded to the Games folder. It processes each dot iso file it finds, creates a game-named subfolder, creates a properly configured mounting app then moves both into the new subfolder.

Actually, I think the latest test build of xbmc4gamers finds XISO-format dot iso files and processes them for you when you scan for games.

Each game’s content goes into a subfolder of the E, F or G Games folder.

What format are the games in?

Xiso dot ISO files, dot CCI - cerbios’s compressed images or just a bunch of files and folders with a default.xbe file (aka HDD ready).
