Yeah . . . that's one thing I find irritating about the Xecuter chip that I'm using now, compared with the SmartXX chip I was using up until a year ago (was forced to switch . . . didn't want to). The SmartXX chip booted to the hacked bios with the eject button (which is a much nicer button for power than the one meant for power due to it being so much more prominent). The long press on the Xecuter chip, like you said, is ridiculous. Pressing it without triggering the factory bios is almost a videogame in itself.
Anyway, sounds like a saga. I'm glad I didn't run into all that stuff cos I don't know much about circuit boards and multimeteres and soldering and pinouts. I'd like to say that the hard part is done, but for you the hard part may be setting up XBMC. It can sometimes be a pain setting up the shares and getting XBMC to see them, but the new 2.0 version of XBMC actually seems to make it much more user friendly.

I need an LPC pinout so I can start using the DMM instead of those LEDs.
EDIT: here
EDIT2: If that stupid chart is right, I get 3.28v on the 5v pin and almost nothing on the 3.3v pins.

Thats the exact pic I used, but I'm on a 1.3 so did not have to do the rebuild.
I know what you mean about the info being spread - the DuoX2 comes with 1 pic, and the install guide on the forums in Xbox Scene is actually wrong - or at least misses out several pics, making it very confusing at first...

Just downloaded the "Xbins Auto Tool" from the official X3 forum. It set off my AV alarms like the house was coming down. How crappy is that? FYI.

If you're even the slightest bit familiar with IRC and FTP it's easy to get stuff from XBINS without the "auto tool"
All you have to do is go to #xbins on efnet type "/msg xbins !list" (which it tells you in the chat room btw) and use the screen name and password it provides you (most likely going to be Login"chadtower" Password "emulation" )to log into the FTP server "distribution.xbins.org"
Simple really...

Yeah, I was trying to do it without downloading mIRC. Turned out that was the best way to do it. Got in via GAIM too.
