THE X-MIGA PROJECT......

[J-Golden]

Ok, it's now official.  I will take Bill Gate's brain child and turn it against it's creator.

As most of you know, the hated X-Box is sold at a loss to flood the market and take over the game system scene.  Many out there have succesfully hacked into the said "box of darkness" and done many wonderous things, in the process making Billy very, very mad.  I plan to do the same.

I am almost done adding a second Hard Drive chassis with sellection switch so I can have the normal HD (to sneak past those stupid X-Box live scans) and a 60 Gig. HD. for da good stuff.

My plan is this.  First a stable install of linux.  Then once I have that all smooth, UAE.  Once I have that running w/o a prob. I'll get down to it and see what I can pull off w/ Amithilon (spelling?)

My final creation will be not only a super fast Amiga at M$'s expense, but a server so I can play Game Cube Games on line :lol:

I'm not sure you'll get Amithlon runing on that without any drivers :-/

yeah, but I'm going to look into it.  the X-box is nothing more then a prepackaged computer w/ N-vidia video.....

OK OK, I think you are all geting the wrong Idea.  This isn't a "hey lets make the best Friggin' Amiga ever" thing.  It's a "Hey let's do exactly what Billy Gates is trying to sue people for (unsuccessfully I might add) and see how far we can go" thing.  I already have the adapter that turns a game port into a standard USB port so I'm already that far a head....

oh, and the market share thing, I bought it used......

Just understand.......

THIS IS FOR FUN!!!!!! well and to fart in M$'s general direction too :lol:

So c'mon, stop with the philosphical, hardware restricting, helping yer enemies mumbo-jumbo.  The best reply so far was that someone else is doing this exact same thing with most likly UAE and I want to do it too!!!

Oh, and the Game Cube Ref. was for WARP PIPE, the software tunnel that lets you play system link games over the internet.  see it at warppipe.com

HAVE fun with Amiga BOYS!  That's what keeps it alive!!!!

SEE YA, MY BRUTHAHS!!!!!

PS- WORMS 3D is really REALLY fun!!!!!!!

Make sure you use the new kernel, though, 'cos it's a GeForce3 chipset. Bernie didn't add support for that card, until the second kernel. What I would recommend is to get the NEWER kernel here:

Gary's Amithlon Page

It has a few more chipset drivers and it's pretty stable. I've been running it without error on my new GeForce FX 5200. It's a decent kernel. Best of luck with that.

 :lol:  :lol:

WOW! you are a life saver! I really am excited about this and will deff. put pics. up of it up and running (also demo it at the monthly NCAUG Hardware SIG :-D )

As for the "still giving $$$ to M$," well I haven't bought one thing new so they haven't got a penny from me yet!!!!

aaaaaaaaaaaand they make tunnel software to play X-Box games online for free as well.  so please drop that line already......

Seriously, Tankz again Meth. I'm gonna need all the help I can get!!!!!

What about AROS. I mean the XBOX is x86. It might run.

It's an Idea But I've never used it before.  When I went onto it's pages, I got a bit confused and wasn't quite sure what I was looking at.  Trust me, It's a J-Golden thing.  With my dyslecsia I get mixed up REAL quick.  

If I ever get AROS under my hat then I'll be more then happy to give it a try :-D

Again, thanks for all you helpful hints and ideas.  YOU ALL ROCK!!!!

ps- yeah, I DID mention X-Box Live didn't I.  MY bad and I appologize for sniping at ya..... friends? :banana:
