Big thanks to all those who have helped with this, including JezzX for Confluence Lite and XBS for his work porting it over to XBMC4Xbox. Thanks also to the developers at the XBMC project, as the majority of features were backported from their code base. Thanks to Dom, Jan, Kozz, Temhil, XPhazer and XMan as well as others over at the XBMC4XBox Forum for their help with scripting, code testing, moral support and help running things.

Please do join in the discussions over at our Forum, and if you enjoy using XBMC4Xbox please feel free to make a donation to the project.

I recently got back in to the original XBOX as a means to play some old games from my childhood with my 4 year old and it got me thinking .
Can I just say what an amazing job BuZz has done keeping both this forum and the xbmc4xbox forum going , also all the builds of os's he does and the constant updating of xbmc and just the general hard work he puts in ,
I thank you that man ,
Cheers BuZz

I just recently retired our 2 old Xbox machines to the loft - XBMC on them was awesome but my wife informed me that there were too many electronic items & cables under the tellies. She may have a point :-)
