Are we intending to make something so that I could just pop in a normal Windows disc and use that to instakk, or are we going to need modified windows installation discs?

Yes, you will be able to use a standard Windows installation disc.

I say it is a good idea to use 2000 because it would require less ram witch can actually help. And and about the game being able to run during windows. me and my friend are seing if we can make the games run under a different format so windows can run it and still be able to do normal windows activity. and my uncle is asking the programers in his job that are interested in gaming to lend a hand. Im still wonde3ring how set up an xbox to work with pc power supply and dvd drive.


Please keep my up to date

btw if you guys need gmail accounts just tell me
you can reach me on AIM too : Lilxac2

^^^^^^^ I feel sorry for you H8raid, people really are stupid here. What if people actually read what's been written.... They will make win 98(se), and when they've accomplished that, the discussion about any other os can be brought up again. Please don't bother the authors with stupid discussions.

Very well put Gronne, thank you

EDIT: I just actually read the post by xspidman, quit smoking crack. This kid obviously has no idea what the fuck he is doing and is just posting to waste time. No shit less ram is a good thing, really, I don't think that was a given or anything! Also, about running the games and Windows at the same time, show me where any of the project members have EVER discussed this, they haven't, it is your own little fantasy and is not going to happen. If it were going to ever happen, you would want to look for it out of linux. I wasn't going to bitch at you, except your post was just too fucking flamboyantly retarded to let it stand.

Yeah, even I can take a hint (after a while). I think h8raid made it pretty clear which OS we are using. No more discussion.

Hey, is there any progress on the website? Is anyone ever on the IRC channel?

I know there is alot of work going on that is not talked about in the forum, but I think it would be helpful if there could be one place that everyone could go for information.

Also, we need an official to do list. Like the one on the Xbox-Linux page.

I'm not a very good webpage designer, but maybe somone could make us one. I know this is not incredably relevent, but it would make it much easier for everyone to know what work is being done.

yeh, website would be nice, i could knock up a nice looking html one (not that basic crap u usually get with html lol) but itd b better if a decent webmaster made one.

A BREAKTHRU!!

The xbox does have PCI buses... They are just not user accsesable...

So we would have to probe the ports on a PC pci and see how it talks with the mobo, then recode the hacked bios so it talks the same way but to the Xbox PCI... We may need to create hacked drivers ...

We also need alot more coders...

Yes more programmers is a must. Eveybody start scavenging and posting a callout to programmers in every corner of the net where you think they may be hanging out. We are going to need a large team to actually pull this off. Scan-C is making progress, however, he is only one man and is running into obstacles that are taking him a lot of time to get around because he has to learn what another man already knows how to do. Well, what are you guys waiting for, let's go recruiting, if somebody gives you some feedback and is interested in the project, put them in touch with Scan-C and link them to this thread. Let's get the ball rolling again!

Ive posted in one of the Hacking forums I got to asking for help.

Scan-C what leval of c++ do i need to help with this project?

-BxN

When i posted the fucking reply i was still new to the fucking forum i only saw the first page i didnt know about ther pages till after i posted the message.

u moms.

@Xspidman
You should have noticed you skipped to the last page and didn't read anything. You should never comment in a thread without reading about what's going on. The mistake was yours so don't start thread crapping because I will not hesitate to report you.

I didnt now there was more to the topic i did not know there were more pages.

i think it would be good if hsdemonz or xantium could post something on the main x-s page calling for all experienced coders to help scan-c and h8raid, would speed up finding help easier.

Now, let's not turn this thread into multiple pages of arguing.

Total_ass, that is a good idea, but we need more than a posting on X-S. Now would be a great time to get a webpage going. If anyone has a webserver, now would be a good time to come forth. We don't need a great webpage, we can make one of those later, right now we just need something (with a to-do list and email addresses). Also, an official IRC channel would be helpful. Now, since I am not working on this project, I'll leave these decisions to higher authority, but in my opinion, we should put the IRC channel at:

#WinXBE
irc.oftc.net

so that we can have the any xbox-linux developers in our channel. (Xbox-linux and, i believe, Xbox-Windows (CE) both have channels on that server)

Allright.... Enough Begging... Ill make you guys a website

As long as you dont start asking for some messed up database and stuff...
At least not if you want something running fast.

Just hum.... pm me i guess.

Ill need a list of what you guys need and some contact info cause i HATE FORUMS!

And BTW i just went to the irc chan there is nobody... Ne1 heard of the art of idling?

Is anyone still reading this forum?

I check it everyday still waiting for an update guys.

Also earlier (couple of pages up) another guy offered his services for a website his he comming up with something? cause i dont feel like doing a website for nothing.

anyone can make them at this site the site is for expirienced and not expirienced and its free!

freewebs.com

@thecrazy,please go ahead and create a site for this project. thx

Yea you can go ahead and make a site, we need some kind of project logo to display an some graphics done too. You can drop me a pm if you have questions. Sorry I have to make this short I don't have much time right now

i have logo,my good friend graphitebull made it for us!, whoever wants it pm and i will email it to them.

Allright im going to start working on this.

But as all of you do i have a real life too so dont expect this to appear by magic tomorrow.

Also we need a host. Preferably one that can do PHP or ASP.

Cable and DSL connection dont even waste your time we all got one.

If you got anything *REAL* to offer pm me.

I dont think will have a huge amount of traffic but id like the site not to go down when we are posted on the main page if you get the idea.

Basicly a small corner on a shared server should do just right.

No need to be big, just solid.

putting irc channel on oftc is a good idea.

lets get this started, i might be able to get some hosting, thats a might.

I have a PHP host u/l bw and can write php.

I can help out with the site.

-BxN

thanks for helping BXN, i would pm thecrazy and see if he needs some help.

did this die?

not been any activity recently.

NO! ,this project is alive and well, its the start of a new year and everyone is busy at the moment, im afraid people will just have to be patient.

Funny, his user name says it all. Haha. I read here every day and can tell there is definitely continual progress. Keep up the good work.

PS- Just because you don't see any releases, doesn't mean nothings going on. Takes time, and we'll all love, and appreciate the hell out of the formed team here for making it happen, and can finally switch from Linux to Windows (not that linux is crap, just not the same when your a windows user for so many years, and certain software that doesn't have a linux version, and doesn't run under wine)

As long as this won't be as incredibly slow as Linux is on xbox, I'm all for it(takes over a minute to start the web browser in linux).

i was in no way being an 'ass', i was simply asking if it was still active. i'm not criticising the lack of updates, nor am i nagging anyone to hurry up at all.

perhaps we should switch usernames, as it applies to you more in this sense.

come on guys, lets give it a rest!,it wasnt a dumb question,we are all wanting this project to be completed so we can get windows installed and running.

takes over a minute to start the browser wow what are you using the Live cd my gentoo opens in about 10 seconds, now,, when you running other things and try to do stuff there it gets slow. but i just made a deal on a 128meg board so woot! ill be running things faster!
my gentoo runs fine from the hard drie although i think the rootfs file thing was not very smart,, it should have been layed out in folders just like if it was native, then a usr etc and all the other folders right in your F drive , this would speed things up considerably.

anyways shout out to all you xp programmers working on this, awesome keep chuggin along and all of us will be here when you ready!

im running a football pool at cbnflpool.com i have over a gig of space and think i used like maby 10mb i can set up a page there very eaisly but the link would have to be like cbnflpool.com/xboxwin or something along them lines as the name of the site is linked to the web site so we would have to keep that portion unless someone wants to buy a different web name i am also pretty good with flash and grafics so could make the page look pretty good to the eye if you want me to go through with it just drop me a pm or emasil addy that we can disscuss what is wanted on the page

kepp up the good work guys i was starting to get board with my xbox done everything else with it nice to see ppl trying something new.

Hi everyone,

Im still alive but i was on vacation for a week and a half so guess what hapened ..



i took the oportunity to NOT DO ANYTHING! Cheers!

Ok not true... I got drunk a several times and hosted a lan party with 16 ppl in my small appartment. (That makes me think guys.. we need to do something about lan parties and chicks...)

HA!

You take that boss!

That was a good vacation.

Now im back so im gonna take a couples of days off that drug like addictive game "WoW" and finish that website.

BTW Betaluva im still waiting on those pics of yours.

L8tr!

PS.: Dont you just love that smiley ---> im lmao

i was board so i made a little loading screen for the windows xbox webpage
check it out at http://www.cbnflpool.com/loading.swf

Really nice. A bit groiny perhaps, but still. Is the project called Windows XB? Good name if that's the case. But it doesn't seem likely as they'll start with windows 98.

yeah its just a little sample didn't know if they want to use something along them lines so i didn't put to much time into it actually about 5 min lol the windows XB
i just pulled out of my @$$ lol figured it was apropreat no matter what version we use because even if we use 98 its still going to be modifed so technically it will be windows xbox lol

Hey, would you guys mind if i took that idea, and changed it a little, using photoshop, and made i higher quality picture with the MS logo changed to the xbox logo, and the sky and ground only a greenist tint, and higher quality? I'm pretty good with photoshop, and wanted to help contribute in some way to the team. I can e-mail someone the photo when i'm done personally to look at. Or whenever you need it. My services are here for ya.

evanmugford,i like it bUT the project name is WinXBE, so lets be clear on the name,as for graphics,i have some that you can work from,anyone who wants them can email me and i will send them to you, the addy is betaluva@yahoo.com.au

just doing some messing around. Here is a main page i did for something to do. Really easy to modify or add different graffics just something as an idea

http://www.cbnflpool.com/xbox.swf

interesting, the tabs that fly out of the side are good.

and the mystery of what happens when win is mixed with xbox.

"and the mystery of what happens when win is mixed with xbox. "

you mean when it is mixed with the xobx

oppps lol fliped the image lol hahaha its my newly designed gaming machine

Hey guys, I am still around here, just wanted to say I like the site layout...very nice and as for a loading screen that looks good as well! Nice job and thank you to all those who had a hand in it. I have sent Scan-C a pm as he is the programmer actually working on the project, but have not heard anything back yet. I would like to stress that we need more bios programmers. I believe the language needed is ASM32 or something like that. I have requested that Scan-C turnover what he has done so the project can continue. I appologize for the disheartening news, but rest assured, with the interest here, we will find another programmer. I also want to take a minute to let everybody know I am not in charge of this project, I just started the thread and got the ideas going and kicked off the project. The only reason I want to be clear on this is when the project is complete I fear some form of legal issues even though the project is supposed to be 100% legal like Cromwell. Anyways, let's go ahead and get some more programmers if we can. The more people we have searching the faster we will have somebody to fill in where Scan-C left off.

i created a ftp server to use as a central database for we can all upload and download the sorces and images or anything to do with the project. just thought it would make things move a little faster

ftp://24.222.82.76
port 21
xbox
xbox

thats a good idea,evan, thanks.

Added the pbl Metoo 1.4 and 1.0 and a few bfm biosses to your ftp, have fun...

Also uploaded ScummVMx 0.5.1

Why? No offense...but...what the hell does this have to do with WinXBE? Nothing! If you want to leave that stuff on your FTP it's up to you, but don't feel obligated to because in my opinion it doesn't need to be there, that's what Xbins is for and you are not a dumpsite so yea I would pull that shit off it if it were my FTP
