// Read Me - 2014 Softmod Kit Created by Rocky5
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////
This softmod was originally made for my personal use, but it turned into somethi
ng more & I thought I would release it to the public.
It was designed with security & simplicity in mind & I think that has been achie
ved, its extremely simple to softmod your Xbox & extremely difficult to break it
.
So new users cant go wrong, in changing dashboards & features, with the help of
read me sections in all menus.
Main Features:
Supports all Xbox versions.
Supports all currently exploitable games.
Obviously runs unsigned code.
Doesn't require a certain Microsoft Dashboard version.

Extra info:
You can also use the "2014 Softmod Kit Extras Disc" to upgrade my 2014 S
oftmod, if I ever need to release an update. (burn the new ISO & run the upgrade
old softmods option)
The latter requires no FTP access or knowledge on how to update softmods
.
I would suggest if ever updating your softmod via this method, that you
backup your dashboard first using the NKPatcher Settings > Dashboards > Settings
option.
Note:
This softmod is not compatible with the HeXen disc or any of the other d
iscs, if you want to change your dashboard you will need to use the 2014 Softmod
Kit Extras Disc, this disc has been made specifically for this softmod.
