Are you talking about discs? or you can't play them off the hard drive? If you are talking about discs then your DVD drive may be bad. Need more info for help.

Well, since evox won't play as well, it doesn't seem to be an XBMC issue.
You might find more help over at xbox-scene for this kind of thing.

but i used it like 3 days ago and i have never had a problem with it, would it be possible that something in C/ got messed up casing it not to be able to read discs?

If an original Xbox game (retail purchased, not a backup/copy) do not boot your Xbox then the DVD-ROM drive hardware is more than likely faulty/broken. "Boot" mean you put it into the Xbox via the eject-button when the Xbox is turned-off, (not while you have a dashboard that is stored on the Xbox harddrive up and running).

i dont thnk it has anything to do with that. in xbmc i looked at the game with the file manager and it told me that there was no disc in the dvd player
