Now before anyone says anything about the USB 3.0, let me stop you there. That is not what this thread is about. I have a friend who wants to buy this for an RGH2 slim. I have warned him that the My Book series is a 3 1/2" 2TB SATAIII drive encased in a shell that has a logic board on it that does hardware encryption. My general idea is that unless I totally low-level format this device and then partition as FAT-32 that it will not work at all for the application in mind due to the hardware encryption. Maybe changing it's partition table from the low-level it might not be recognizable by the logic board that does the hardware encryption. I am aware that the drive itself encrypts using the software on the drive, however making accessible is off the board itself. Like the hashkey is stored on an EEPROM or something. Here's my question: Has anyone ever used a Western Digital My Book 2TB drive for this before and what was your experience with it? Better yet, anyone ever appropriate a personal NAS drive like the ones Seagate makes for this same type of application? Or has anyone ever used one with ConnectX before? Here's a detailed description of the device in question: http://www.frys.com/product/7859669#detailed

Sounds like it would be pretty straight forward providing we had a engineering specsheet on the 360 to do so. I'm guessing one wasn't leaked or released so its been a lot of guesswork and tinkering to find what we've been able to find so far correct?

With the few people who actually do LiNK multiplayer, IP bans would kill LiNK I think. I like the tag strategy a LOT better because whoever is using the trainer will get the hint when they're constantly kicked from the channel.

Now if only I had an xex version of mplayer

Google images is yor frend I'll look around, also anyone know how to change the default view? I can't seem to find a config TuT for it anywhere. 2.0.7 right?

AWESOME!! Just noticed it when I booted my console! Great job guys!

Here's a great site for cover art for the roms http://www.cdcovers.cc/list/psx/a

Well, at least I have an answer.

Might be able to run in DOSbox360 it's a hacked version of DoomII with quake4 files I think I used to play it on my old Ubuntu 12 box awhile ago so I think a port is possible but nothing I'm capable of doing. Would be totally awesome though! EDIT Need source port of gzdoom for it to work and the wad files from Doom I or Doom II or custom wad map packs. Source port for zdoom is here http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/GZDoom https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom

DOSbox doesnt play iso files to my knowledge, usually you have to mount the iso file as a virtual disc, then copy the disc contents to a folder. If its an old game that requires the disc then you need to find a nocd crack for the old game in order to run. making custom autoexec.bat files that have the old emm386 stuff for the upper memory games help also if they werent the DOS4gw games.

The Brutal Doom project has always been awesome but this new revision looks PHENOMENAL!!

Pretty much reroute all the I/O calls an memory registers to valid locations on the hardware its being ported to right?

I took intro to computer programming and logic, received a good dosage of pseudocode and flowchartting, then my professor gave us a shitty crash course on python. Since then I've had a stigma for it but I do know I need to learn the POSIX scripting languages for real system administration. I'll self-study it one day when all my pre-reqs are completed and I complete my CCNP training, just not now.

Makes me wish my major was programming and not network engineering. I do think Gamecube and PS2 will eventually come to MESS but whether or not someone ports it to the 360 is my only question. It would be nice though only having to port one thing for support for that VAST amount of platforms.

I have a few sound wav's that I ripped off an old Mechwarrior II install disc that I'd eventually like to build a skin around. I'm really new to the scene and would like some information on where I can go to find tutorials on skinning and embedding sounds into skins. Could someone steer me in the right direction? sounds.rar

Any idea if its even possible to port it? I was looking at their forum the other day and it seems like it would be a good universal console emulator for platforms that no one is currently working on and if was doable, would it be able to retain it functionality for the 360? The reason I bring this up is that I see that many people want ps2 / GC emulation but the console itself doesn't have the resources to do it effectively using libxenon. I may be speaking out of naivete here but couldn't the local interpreters used in MESS itself make it more efficient and possibly make it happen? Or would it be emulating a console environment and translating it twice making it useless even if PS2 / GC support did eventually come to MESS? I did some research and found that they did port it over to PPC for Mac so maybe the souce could be adapted for a 360 port? http://www.macmess.org/

Good point

Even though this can be reached by opening the dash.xex from XeX Menu (dash.xex crashes when opened from aurora) it would be nice if wifi ssid selection could be made from within Aurora for end users that don't know how to navigate to dash.

I'll just have to put that stuff on the MU then, my best solution up until now was using FATxplorer and just copying the data directly over from the top-mounted SATA dock on my PC.

My approach on it was to format the drive to USBMU like I do for XeXmenu and export the other homebrews via horizon if possible but I don't think its something thats a viable solution since you say Aurora and FSD won't be writable if they're in an XBLA package. Seems like it'd only work for read only packages which most of the stuff I want to copy over is stuff that needs to be configured after install. Looks like I'm stuck with doing it with two USB sticks for the time being. Now prepackaging the software with the NAND build sounds like a great idea, I'll google around for some TuT's on how to do it. About how much space in Flash do I have to work with for this though? Thanks for getting back to me man I appreciate it a lot! ****EDIT**** Nevermind, I misunderstood you. Not likely to build the NAND with these apps as the flash is read-only... lol I do install dashlaunch right after copying XEXmenu and running backwards compatibility, then comes reboot then dashlaunch install, config, followed by fsd3 and aurora install.

Does anyone know how (or if its possible) to convert programs such as dashlaunch, FSD, Aurora, backwards compatibility hack, etc... into a horizon transferable format? I'd like to make one of my flash drives have all the system software for when I do a fresh RGH onto a new system instead of using one drive for XeX Menu and another drive for everything else. I know they must be converted into a compatible filesystem and was wondering if there are any tools available to do that like how XeX Menu is.

Anything I can do to help contribute! So much is done here for free for everyone that it's the least anyone can do if they can't code, do hardware, or make skins. I know a bit about the electronics side also so whenever I see someone in need of help I'll put my two cents in when its useful.

I'm open for some gaming CoD and Diablo3 get boring after awhile so if you want to play any games hit me up and I'll join you

Wasn't too sure where to post this but I think this is the right place. So I combed through Google images the other day and stumbled across some really nice textures, fractals, and scanning electron microscopy pictures in HD quality! They're all in 1920x1080 resolutions and look wonderful in Aurora using the animate feature for the fractals and not using the animate feature for the other stuff. This pack has 56 wallpapers that work and look pretty neat (at least I think they look neat) I simply uploaded them via ftp into the Aurora/Backgrounds folder and they're readily available to use from the dash. Enjoy! backgrounds.rar

So when 5b is released will it be able to just upgrade through the update feature in Aurora? or will I have to just copy over the binaries? Also its a shame that more people that can code aren't onboard like a repo-based Stable / nightly build but totally understandable. If I knew C+ and Python well enough to do anything with I'd help out.
