Ancient ATV1 Install Help Please - bekilling - 2014-09-13
I upgraded my ATV1 to 3.0.2 firmware and it was a clean install and I followed xbmc guide, Launcher updated to 3.2.5, but xbmc won't install I get the error "error: cannot launch xbmc/boxee from path:/Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/MacOS/XBMC". This why be breaking some rules posting here and I apologize in advance, but i really need some help.

See Apple TV 1 (wiki). If you want to run XBMC on there then you need to use Crystalbuntu (wiki) or OpenELEC (wiki), which replaces the ATV OS.

Ah ok. I know exactly what you are talking about. The problem I have with that is that when I do it Xbmc is only accessible if the USB stays in. How can I get it to stay on even if the USB is out?

Both of those OSes have the option of installing XBMC onto the internal HDD.
RE: Ancient ATV1 Install Help Please - bekilling - 2014-09-13
Will I still be able to access the original apple tv menu if I do a HDD install?
RE: Ancient ATV1 Install Help Please - Ned Scott - 2014-09-13
No. An internal install will completely replace the original ATV OS.
RE: Ancient ATV1 Install Help Please - bekilling - 2014-09-13
Is there any kind of way to get xbmc while retaining the original atv os?
RE: Ancient ATV1 Install Help Please - Ned Scott - 2014-09-14
With just the internal HDD and no USB drive? That would require a dual booting option, and I haven't seen anyone actually make such an option yet, though it should be possible. I have no idea how to go about doing that, though.
