XBMC4Xbox

btw Raspbmc RC4 is out with lots of improvements like hard float.

Sweeeeeeeet news, thanks xbs I shall be trying that out right now

I thought the ARM was 700MHZ as default? I still need to get one, but being in middle America finding one where shipping is less than the cost of the board hasn't happened yet.

It is but Sam form Raspbmc is oc'ing to 800mhz by default.

Ah I see. I just need to knuckle under and order one. Shipping costs be damned.

I don't have a raspberry pi yet but I'm curious if any of you have tried to overclock it to 1ghz, if so how was it?

Yep, it didn't boot even with OV... tried Rasbmc and OpenELEC... it boots with 950mhz though... but every Pi is different.

I'm using arm_freq=840 and core_freq=375 and the UI is pretty smooth. There's also room for lots os tweaks and improvement so it's only going to be a better experience

I got mine today

I got Raspbian running ok.

I can't get the HDMI working on my 40" LCD 1080P TV but It works straight away on the 16" 720P

working now that I edited config.txt to force hdmi hotplug

Does anyone has the Pi running XBMC from USB?

EDIT: Got it running from a pen drive but it's slower then my Class 10 :\
I used this tut...

"That's pretty easy to do.
All operations take place under Windows:
- Get the preffered image (*.img)
- Use Win32Diskimager to write the *.img to your USB-Stick.
- Copy the content of the VFat-Partition to an old, small SD-Card. (I use a 512MB-Card)
- On the SD-Card edit cmdline.txt to point to your USB-Stick, e.g. disk=/dev/sda2/ (sda2 is the ext4-Partition on the USB-Stick)
- On the SD-Card edit config.txt, e.g. arm_freq=800, core_frequ=400, hdmi_force_hotplug=1 (This one forces HDMI-Output even the TV isn't powered up yet)
Plug the SD-Card and the USB-Stick in your Raspberry, power up and you probably will have a speedincrease of about 25%
Have fun!

RPi now supports cpu governors!!!
This is great news for Pi lovers

RPi working great with cpu scalling (700mhz-900mhz) also bought a Leguang LG-N18 150Mbps IEEE802.11 b/g/n USB 2.0 Wi-Fi Wireless Network Adapter from dealxtreme that works out of the box with OpenELEC

Still waiting for my Raspberry Pi ordered in June from RS components....

Meanwhile in a local store....

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

want a "pee" now not a pi hahahahahahahahaha

Funny. How long you have been waiting.

Hahaha that's really quite amusing, sorry phaze I shouldn't laugh

Just got confirmation that my second one has been shipped today so I should have it tomorrow along with the crystal case and black case (one of the cases is for my current pi I'm using). There was a bit of a delay... now when did I order this? Oh yeah that's right fucking ages ago!

Finally it came, I now have 2 r-pi's

Got one in a black case and one in a crystal, think I'll keep my crystal one as it's a bit geeky but the black one looks really smart and I much prefer the look of that. I had to use my SD card for another project so can't play with them until I order another two up, well I suppose I'd better go and do some more research on which ones work and which ones don't... Actually the 16gb MicroSD sandisk one I was using worked great so maybe I'll just hunt around for a cheap 4/8gb one of those. Any recommendations?

I'm this very fast micro SD card: Samsung 8GB SDHC Class 10 (MB-MP8GA)

Any good tutorial on how-to connect a Xbox remote dongle with the RPi?

I haven't done it myself yet, but here is one tutorial I found:

I ordered some TSOP4838 IR receiver's off ebay and may give this tutorial a go when they come in, to save a USB port:

Here's the tutorial I found http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HO ... te_for_USB

Not tried it myself yet but looks fairly simple to do

Thanks guys.

uhoh, looks like we got a spam bot!
