I personally use UnleashX and have found no problems with it whatsoever.

You can choose to install high definition/RGB versions of your dashboard, if you happen to be playing on a high definition display. Either option is also easily accessible via the softmodded dash, so it's up to you.

Partition 0 should appear in the left pane. Go to Drive -> Open -> Harddrive or Memcard. Plug your USB into your PC (don't reformat it if your PC asks you).
