202105 2003-12-22 07:25:00 Hi CS, very clever of you. Out of interest, besides being slower to type is the speed of the connection seem the same as a PC? parry (27)

Im connecting through the integrated 100mbps Ethernet connection.

Its a long way for the traffirc to get through a bridged connection on the Familys WinXP Machine, then thru a 30m cable to the switch, then to the router.... ;-) Ping speeds about 5ms slower if that helps :-)

Im posting from my PC now until I can make a USB adapter, and will buy another 3 XBox > USB adapters from x-mods after Christmas when money's not quite so tight.

USB works fine provided it works with linux (And most USB peripherals do nowadays). The Controller is basically a USB device with a different plug!

Goto xbox-scene if you're interested, as it tells you how to make your own cable. Aside from that, I already use the XPad as a Gamepad on my Desktop (But sadly have no games to use it with :p).


Has nobody else run an OS on the PS2 even?

*Chilling_Silently thinks of getting a wireless USB keyboard tomorrow for his Xbox....!

202107 2003-12-22 09:18:00 Wireless devices are prone to blocking...

What say someone gets hold of a frequency jammer and operates it (within range, of course) while you're playing a multiplayer game? Serious disadvantages would ensue ;) :D

202108 2003-12-22 09:26:00 Bah....
Its not going to be a major Gaming machine..

Although the nVidia Geforce 3 MX-based GPU is good enough to get a good enough fps at that res, and the 10GB HDD on a 733Mhz Celeron (Coppermine) based CPU are more than enough to play DVD's on my Philips DVD-Rom, the 64MB RAM is a little low ;-)

Not bad for $250 second hand about 3 months back though :D
Makes a good cheap PC and Ive been using Distcc too, so compiling is pretty fast coz its using my Athlon XP 1700+ too ;-)

202109 2003-12-22 11:22:00 How do we know you are not using your computer and just saying you are using your X-Box?

You could be trying to pull the wool over our eyes....... I heard you still used a Sega megadrive!

202110 2003-12-22 13:03:00 I could take a screenshot, but I run the same OS on my desktop system ;-)

I use GNOME on my Desktop and Xfce4 on the XBox, aside from that the installs are pretty similar :-)

I'll put a photo up on Sals ImageF1 in the morning!
