Use your PC to download ROM files. There are many websites that provide ROMs for whatever system your Xbox emulates.
Unzip your emulation software to a directory on your desktop. Open this directory in Windows Explorer.
Copy your downloaded ROM files to the "ROMS" directory for your emulation software.
[h=2]Transferring ROMs[/h] Connect your Xbox to the network hub or router using the LAN cable.
Turn on your Xbox. Evolution-X will start automatically.
Open Evolution-X's "System" section and choose the "Network" area. Your Xbox's IP address will be displayed.
Open your PC's FTP software and connect to your Xbox's IP address.
Use your FTP software to transfer the folder containing your emulation software, including all files and subfolders, to the Xbox's "E" drive.
[h=2]Creating a Menu Item[/h] Use your FTP software to navigate to the Xbox's "C" drive and download the file "menu.ini" to your desktop.
Right-click the file "menu.ini." Choose "Open With..." then select "Notepad."
Scroll to the section marked "Apps."
Without deleting any existing text, add the following text to a new line in the file (note the lack of a space after the comma):
Item "[your emulator name]","e:\[your emulator directory]\default.xbe"
If you are installing MAME, for instance, the text to add would be:
Item "MAME-X","e:\MAME\default.xbe"
Save the file and transfer it back to your Xbox's "C" drive, overwriting the old file. Restart your Xbox. Your emulator will be selectable from Evolution-X's "Apps" section.
