XBMC4Xbox

I landed myself a very very cheap xbox 360 which as the owner said "overheated after a while".
Well once dismantled I could see the reason was all the cooling fins around the processor were blocked solid with fluff.
I have it running now for the last 12 hours with no problem.
The question now is...
What can I do with it?
Can I make it play media of my nas drive?
will it do more than my original xbox?
Is their a site like this one to help as this one even in its new incarnation is the tops?

Cheers

You'll want to visit Xbox-Scene to get an idea for what you can do. The homebrew scene definitely isn't as good as the original Xbox's. I use mine mostly just for playing 360 games even though it's JTAG-hacked (the 360 equivalent of flashing the TSOP). There are a few homebrew media players but they're not very good. You'll want to read up on the JTAG hack and the newer reset glitch hack (the 360 equivalent of installing a modchip) if you want to run homebrew.

yeah, All the 360 is really good for is playing 360 games

I'd suspect it's the only one of a number of consoles that can! lol!

XMPlayer on the 360 is quite good for movies it plays most things just not fancy like xbmc4xbox.

milkytracker is a blast also if you are into that sort of thing.

i have mine setup with amiga360 with netbsd socket emulation and picasso gives me the ability to use it as a computer browse the net etc.

I had no idea that that XMPlayer even came out. Must have been during the time when Xbox-Scene wasn't reporting any news, which is where I get pretty much all my homebrew news. I'll have to check it out.

one thing is ced2911 has droped form the 360 development scene and the current releace will be final unless someone takes over his project

can a mod move this to the off-topic forum as this isn't xbmc4xbox related? thanks!
