@Scan-C, youve got mail

@Everybody else, I sent a pm to supplicium about taking him up on his offer to host a site for us.

[h8raid]

Oops, double posted, oh well I will just use this space as my new post, sorry about that.
Scan-C, have you had a chance to look over the disassembled bootloader?  And do you have any updates on the source code you were tracking down?  I would have sent this in PM, but until we get a site up with our own PHP like you suggested this thread is sort of our only means of communication for news and updates.  Anyway, let us know whats going on and how things are going.  If there is anything you need help tracking down let me know and I will see what I can do.
Regards,
-H8raid

Hello All, I've been reading on this thread about win on xbox and I'd like to join you guys too! I can be a tester for the team and I can host a server for website with ftp and a lot of space if you are interested! I would really like to see windows running smoothly on my xbox one day!

RE: moding reactos for xbxox,i just got the reply from jason filby,this is what he said,"Regarding ReactOS and the XBox: just remember to abide by the licensing
terms (GNU General Public License). You may want to make XBox
compatibility a ReactOS subproject to get the advtange of experienced
ReactOS developers.

Cheers

i think starting a page first on Sourceforge is a good idea then it will give us time to make a site that will have sometype of "progress" to show.

[h8raid]

Alright, it looks like everybody agrees sourceforge is that way to go for now so if anybody wants to start up a sourceforge page, drop me a pm, if nobody wants to do it, I will as soon as I finish up this class I am taking right now, I just don't have a whole lot of spare time with classes or I would jump right on it.
Regards,

yeah real life sucks if you want to get something like this going. i hardly have the time to see my cat at home.

but to thread... doesn't sourceforge require you to post source code of what you've done? i don't want so say sourceforge is a bad idea but most of the code will be hacked ms code for now...

i looked over the bootstrap but it's really just that... a bootstrap which loads ntldr. the way it works is fine with the xbox. a little modification needed if we use a bios that doesn't execute the hdd's bootsector but that's it.

about the source me and my teammate wrote... well forget it. turned out that he just included my code into a remote boot image and that it was catched but not executed. as he first told me it soundede like he loaded the xpe kernel from cd

[Supplicium]

hmm yea i frogot about the whole sourceforge and posting code that your not "allowed" to post. hmm maybe I or someone can start a lil site/forum.

[betaluva]

i think we all agree we need a website so go for it supplicium,if you need any cool graphics i have few freinds who are graphics gurus.

[Supplicium]

i started on the interface of the site. i dont think ill need help with the images unless i get lazy lol but ask them anyway in there freetime if that can make anything cool to add to the site. I should have a preview up by tomorrow. if anyone is real good with the php  coding PM me if you want to help setup the code for the website along with help me setting up a forum.

Well back on this windows on xbox talk..

Have we decided on what version of Windows we are going to try to work with?
is it between XP embed and 2000? or CE??

any1 know a good  RSS feed we could use for the site? i think that would be a nice addition to the site. maybe not so much an "xbox" rss feed but maybe more of a Windows info feed.

[TSOPrano]

why not focus on showing some kind of progress rather than worrying about a website that has nothing to show?

[h8raid]

We are not focusing on a site that has nothing to show.  Just because that is the only thing you read about in the thread recently does not mean that is the only thing we are doing.  That is why we need a site, so you don't just "see" one thing going on and that's it.  Plus we want to have things organized and in order so we can get a little more mainstream with the whole project rather than keeping it in this thread alone.  That's my answer to your question.

Oh well, if you guys make this thing, make it so we can part up our HDDs, so we can have xbox games on one part, with fatx or what coding system it uses, and windows and other shit on the other part, with normal fat32 of ntfs..

it would be kewl if I could use it like a normal computer, but playing xbox games..

like, have a desktop with burnout3 and halo2 icon, and doubleclick with my mouse..
so the windows would be just like a new dashboard interface thingy..

oh well, would be cool to play PC games on the xbox too
quake3 and stuff..
eh..
yeah.. do whatevers possible..
you're the coders..

[jimmsta]

let's make this a reality...

The only thing is, is that it would probably make some sense to use gentoox's bootloader, seeing as it is opensource, and legal...

Essentially, it would be more feasible to begin with a gentoox install, and mod it for our uses. --
The following are things that would be good to experiment with...
Wine, Cedega support (requires subscription), least-memory-intensive gui, some form of OpenGL support -- which I'm unsure of if it exists...

Anyway, I'll be working on this project whenever I have free time.
