does USB work

I dont mean USB keyboards like previous post

I mean does usb devices work ie USB storage, after drivers been installed of course.

can someone check this, youll need 09 se to check tho

No USB mass storage devices , usb cams , usb pen drives etc do not work.

this windows 2000 is a stripped down version compiled by myself today with sp4 i put together today in class boots in about 1 -2 minutes

What do you mean by compiled? I assume you are referring to turning off unnecessary services etc. in Win2k. Or are you referring to the setup of win2k to work with Qemu?

I can't get it right... I spent a lot of time installing Win98SE on my pc, putting DirectX and Jazz Jackrabbit 2 on it, but when I load it on my xbox it goes very slow, and the mouse moves wayyyy too slow when on startup.

This goes on a while and then you return to xdsl... very weird. on my pc it worked.


Doesn't directx work on an xbox? Can anybody try and let me know if that's the problem?

hi there,

Could you tell me the exact model of the gaming adapter, also, please explain how easy it is the set up the gaming adapter to work with the xbox so i can get the net!

thanks

is there a xbox port of Qemu? if not there should be. we could get a (potentially) noticeable speed increase if we skipped linux and went straight to Qemu.

EDIT: btw, i have tried this twice now, and the win98 installation hangs at the date\time properties screen. (at the 'setting up hardware and finalizing settings' section of the install)

running a
P4
1.4GHZ
256MB
40GB
WinXP pro

anyone else havin this prob?

I have tried several times now with the same results. Installation hangs at date/time as soon as I hit Apply or OK.

I also got a Windows Protection Error at the same spot one time. Not sure what I did different though.

AMD 1.8
512 MB DDR
XP Pro

Damn, I REALLY want this!

I knew it was just a matter of time before I would see the Blue Screen of Death on my XBOX!

How did you get startcraft to work?

Did you put the files from the disc into the img, and install from windows, or put a working directory in or what?

I must have spent about 10 hours trying to get civilization 3 to work, using so many methods and after installing for about 3 hours up to 33% the install quit (It did get past asking for all the discs), i wasn't happy.

i want to get red alert to work...

[iNfErNaL666]

think it would be stable enough to run counterstrike? be neat to have steam on my xbox. . . even be cool to use it as a dedicated server. I'd mention trying hl2 on it but it requires more than 128mb of ram. . . would there be anyway to trick it into thinking theres more than 128mb of ram?

[Clubmed112]

Hey, I can't find the tutorial on that site, can anyone link it to me, sorry.

[ColdReader]

i'll tell you all who dont understand...i have not ran windown 98 on my xbox or linux for that matter BUT dont even THINK of trying to get half-life or half-life 2 to even run thats a NONO even with 128 mb of ram hah 512 barely run it smooth we would be luck to even get Quake to work
