Gentlemen,
This situation might need some clarification to the matter at hand. I had no intention of posting in this thread, but now that I see some BS flowing around, I feel my hand has been forced.
Anyways, this all began with me. In early november of 2005 I sold an XBox that I modded to vintage. He received and it and was happy with his purchase but asked if, for a fee, I would load the 'Box with all emu's and roms. Told him no can do as everything I had was already on the machine. He said he also had another XBox that available to him and wanted to know about copying everything from one to the other. Told him that it was fairly simple to ftp from one XBox to the other and he should check with someone else if he isn't familiar with the process. This was mid November.
Fast forward to January 22nd this year. He sends me a PM saying that he had sent it to sonofx51 and
claims that Jose messed it up somehow. He didn't go into any great lengths about the problem, just that XBMC locked up. I asked him a couple questions about what he was seeing and then suggesting a solution.
He continues to go on about the problem and I send him this PM:

Hmmmm...
What would you like to me to do?
Then, he sends me this PM:

Evidently you can't do anything or you would have suggested a solution. It was my mistake in not being informed about the purchase I made. I'll eat this one.
WTF? I wasn't envolved in whatever happened, yet somehow its my fault. He got greedy and wanted more, sent it off and got it back and claims somethings wrong and somehow expects me to pull a magic rabbit out my ass and come up with a miracle solution to this problem, sight unseen.
Hahaha...no.
So, I sent this PM back:

Kyle, thats not what I meant.
Would you like EvoX reinstalled? I can take a look at the machine and FTP EvoX back to the machine and ensure that the emus are working correctly.
And you were informed of the purchase you made. You elected to send the unit to a 3rd party to have more software loaded onto it and in the process they apparently screwed up the software load on it and are not taking responsibility to fix it. I am offering to fix the software on it as that is all the problem is.
Only thing I ask is that you pay shipping to and from for the machine.

It takes a few days, but I get PM back from him apologizing about what he said and that he was just frustrated.
Now, I don't think Jose has actually messed up anything. I know he is a respected modder and knows exactly how to do these things. This was either a case of a corrupted file that wasn't spotted or maybe user error/attempt to add or mod something. I dunno.
I understand and offer to look at and fix the XBox software problem for free. All I ask is that he paying for shipping to and from me. He aggreed and said he wanted me to take a look at it.
That was on 1-31-06.
Now, less than 1 month later he is posting up a thread about how he is the new XBox mod king. Bullshit, dude. Just over a month ago you didn't have the slightest clue how to even diagnose a software problem and now you are the champion of modding and software install?
