R.I.P. Sega Channel.

Apparantly the ROM doesn't work like it should.

But with this it's like I have my own personal Sega Channel.

This is basically how we did it.

The best way to run Linux on an Xbox with minimal modification, and without breaking the possibility to play (non-Xbox LIVE!) games, is to do the Software preparation.

As mentioned earlier, Microsoft has built some protection into the Xbox. This means that you cannot simply download Linux for the Xbox, burn a CD, insert it into the Xbox and do the installation. A stock Xbox only accepts original, Microsoft-approved Xbox software. This is not specifically an anti-Linux safeguard, but a more general way for Microsoft to keep quality control over their platform.

The Software preparation is a trick that installs additional software onto the Xbox hard disk that will allow you to use Linux installation CDs, and run Linux installed on the hard disk from the main menu (Dashboard) of the Xbox.

The software preparation works like this:

* You copy the Software preparation Saved Games from an Xbox Memory Unit (or a similar device) onto the Xbox hard disk, using the Saved Game manager software built into the Xbox.
* You run the Xbox game MechAssault and select CAMPAIGN and Install Linux.
* The Xbox Dashboard now has a LINUX menu item in place of the XBOX LIVE item.

As easy as this sounds, the hardest step for most people is to get an Xbox Memory Unit (or a similar device) with the Software preparation Saved Games on it. You can use many (but not all) "USB sticks" and digital cameras with USB connectivity as Xbox Memory Units, using an adapter cable. If you do not wish to bother with getting a USB adaptor cable, get a copy of Action Replay. (http://www.codejunkies.com) This device comes with a memory unit that can connect to your PC, as well as software for transferring the Saved Game files from your PC to the memory unit.

In addition, you will need the game MechAssault. You won't need it permanently, it is enough to rent it for one day.

You may also use your USB storage drive compatible with Action Replay, and load the save file on the storage drive and then to your Xbox.

IMPORTANT VERSIONING NOTES:

a) Not only will you need MechAssault--you require specifically Part No. X08-82264. Look for this part number on the actual disc artwork. If product is really brand new and you can trust that the software has not been swapped, then through the shrink-wrapping, on the back of the package, look for "Part No. X08-82262". Understand that the software, Mechassault, has been re-released with a revision. This revision disallows you from exploiting the particular XBOX vulnerability that enables the software preparation hack for Linux here described.

b) If it says "Platinum Hits" on the cover, your version of MechAssault will not assist you with XBOX-Linux installation in the manner here described.

So now I can play

- Genesis
- SNES
- NES (Including Mario Adventure )
- Gameboy/Gameboy Advanced
- N64 (without that stupid controller)
- Atari
- I'm sure there are more old ones but I never used them so I don't really give a shit.

I urge everyone to do the same. I would've done it with my slim PS2, but that would've meant taking it apart, voiding the warranty.

[darkvare]

sorry if its of topic but i have to ask. where are thosse little guys shaking their heads from?

BREAKING NEWS



Now what game could I possibly want for this system?



Dracula X: Rondo Of Blood! Superior to the SNES version in almost everything!



:?





Now I don't have to have a tiny screen or a light source!!

I can't get Dracula X's music to work. It's bullshit! Playing through that game without kickass music is gay.

[Cliff Steele]

how well does n64 run? are the framerates good?

[Seven Force]

Ugh, that's the catch: all but one of the games run fine, but there's little graphical glitches. The only real problem I noticed was in Bomberman 64, the intro and intro movie doesn't play correctly, but the game is normal. They're not game-stoppers, just annoyances. One, Conker's Bad Fur Day, refuses to run at all, though that could just be a bad rom.

[Seven Force]

I haven't been able to try the Playstation emu yet, as I don't know how to run Castlevania: SotN.

Screw the warranty, rip it apart.


I would do that stuff to mine, only, I've never used Linux and don't think I want to start now on a ps2.

Also, it would be harder on account of the no hard drive.

I suppose you could hold it on system memory, though
