How Can I Install the Evolution-X on BIOS?

The Evolution-X basic input output system (BIOS) is a file that installs onto the Xbox and boots before the main dashboard. The BIOS allows you to change how the system operates, what it can load and other features. The Evolution-X BIOS is also a modified dashboard that allows games to be installed and played from the hard drive, custom homebrew applications and other system utilities. The BIOS can be set as default on a modded Xbox so that the Xbox will boot to the Evolution-X dashboard upon start up.
