Silverdash360

Silverdash360 is a dashboard for the Xbox 360: it lists the games and apps on your console, with their box art, and starts them. It also plays your music, videos and pictures, from the console's drives and from media servers on your network, and shares the console's drives over FTP. It's written in C# on the console's own Silverlight platform with Silverlight360.

Getting started

  1. Install it: it needs an Xbox 360 that runs homebrew, the base package from Digiex and the latest update from GitHub.
  2. Find your way around: Getting around has the controls.
  3. If something isn't right, see Troubleshooting, and report it on GitHub if it's not there. Ideas for features go there too.
