sorry if this question has been posted before, but i was wondering if anyone had experience playing compressed versions of full Xbox games either via .zip/.rar or .iso/.cso format directly off of the hard drive. i'm starting to run low on space in my 160gb hard drive, and i'm trying to compress ever...

thanks for the suggestions guys. and i remember seeing that thread a week or so ago Keith, so thanks for reminding me about it. also, while i'm at it, does anyone know if it's possible to program XBMC to cycle through Custom Backgrounds at regular intervals? i'm trying to get my Halo edition Xbox to...

Hey guys, just dropping in to ask for a little help. :D I'm searching around for the most widely used/recommended plugins to put on an Xbox. i'm taking an old 1.2/1.3 model and turning it into a Movie & Music streaming box for my parents, and i'd like some suggestions on what i should install. i...

Dude, Dom, this theme has become friggin' insanely gorgeous, and i sincerely hope it has a crap-ton of utility.

how well are the resources being handled, and how much memory does it have left over at any given time?

its basically enabling/forcing 16:9 on a game that lacks it on the Xbox itself, instead of relying on your TV to stretch the picture. it displays more geometry than without the hacks, and its pretty cool for some games, but it stretches the UI, like i mentioned before.

the thing about the widescreen hacks is that it actually makes the games show more geometry on the screen, instead of just stretching the video out and making everything look "squashed". it stretches the UI in a lot of games, but other than that, it's actually a great thing to have enabled.

thanks for the help mate. have you ever tried the widescreen hacks i linked? part of me wants more of them, but they were kind of a limited effort by people that had specific games they wanted in widescreen. i really want widescreen hacks for Fable & Fable TLC, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, Halo, Psycho...

i've been interested in doing this ever since i heard it was possible, so i was wondering if any of you guys have had experience with it, and whether or not it's a fairly simple process once you do it a few times. i don't want to do it with literally EVERY game, just the ones i play the most, lol. a...

Thanks for the info Trusty. Btw, do you have a source for how to hex mod games to run at 480p? I would love to do that with all of my games, and i'd also love to have the flubber intro force 480p as well. I already have the knowledge to force some games to have widescreen support, so that's all I re...

holy crap, Trusty visits our forums?!?

i have to ask, how much do you charge for upgrades these days?

Questions: how much are you selling an individual system for? have any of them been modded for region-free play? will you be selling any transformers with the system? at what price? do you have any controllers, VMUs or VGA boxes to go with them? if so, at what price will you sell them? are you able ...
