Tonights project.
« on: December 16, 2012, 12:20:08 AM »
I have spent this week going to town on all the broken XBOX's I have inherited over the past few years.

I have recovered them all but two which have been stripped clean of parts and are headed to the garbage.

 The one I am testing on right now has had ScummVM installed, a Sony Playstion Emulator, Snes, Nes, Sega/CD/32X, Atari XL/XE, MSX2+, and of course Odamex!!!!

http://odamex.net/

Which has been partially ported to AROS thus far:

Hopefully we'll see ports to our other beloved Amiga based OS's too!!!

That being said, I am going to check out the optimized release of XPort's WinUAEX tonight.

I wish I knew how to solder on extra RAM to my XBOX, because I'm sure it would come in handy here! None the less, I do believe I this will be a worth while project. Not a replacement for my real Amiga(s) by any means, but something interesting to do none the less.

I use XBMC as the OS for my XBOX, with this adapter it will detect when a mouse and keyboard are connected correctly. I can control the OS with the Mouse and Keyboard, plus WinUAEX fully supports them as well, not to mention Odamex! ;)

The xbox is a nice little machine to play with, I run Linux on mine also, and in the past ive even tried to run Linux hosted AROS on it (it works but is waaaay to slow more ram needed).
What dashboard are you using?

But good luck playing around with your xbox :)


Ditto, never messed with the Linux side of things much though, realized I'd need an extra 64Mb of RAM installed to really enjoy it much.

This is the first I have messed with WinUAEX in years. Seems like I'm having more luck than I did with the older releases. Still no replacement for my real Amiga(s), but a nice way to play games though, that much is for sure...

At this point, I'd rather just use my real Amiga(s) to make them and make Musick. :)

That's the first time I ever got to see Amiga on a PS3...

...Linux for that matter! :)
