Would you like to play other XBOX-SCENE members online? For FREE? Then try XBConnect.

First.. you'll need to go to www.xbconnect.com to download the client software.. which is a simple install, requiring a reboot to complete the installation.

Then setup an ACCOUNT.

Once you have done that.. you can now play others online.. in SYSTEM LINK compatible games.

Deathrow
Ghost Recon
Halo
Mech Assault
Moto GP
Nascar Heat
NFL Fever 2003
NHL2k3
Serious Sam
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Timesplitters 2
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2x
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4
Unreal Championship
Whacked

5 of us on XBOX-SCENE have started an IRC channel on EFNET called #XS-XBC where we gather.. talk.. and plan games.

Come join our small channel.. and play fellow XBOX-SCENE members online!

#XS-XBC

BTW... BACKUPS.. either BURNED or on the HARD DRIVE work!

Also.. XBconnect suppost the use of LIVE Headsets for live audio communications in the GAME that originally support that LIVE feature!

----

Since there seems to be some confusion.. I'll address it here.

www.xbconnect.com & their tunneling software.. is not the same as XBOX LIVE. There is no affiliation between the two entities.

XBOX LIVE will BAN you with MODCHIP turn ON..

XBCONNECT will NOT BAN YOU with Modchip turned ON.

Backups work great on XBCONNECT.

Headsets are NOT necessary.. but should work if you have them.

If you connect to the internet using a PHONE MODEM... don't bother using XBCONNECT. Your Phone connection is not fast enough for what little data is transfered back and forth.

Hi! guys

So let me get this straight. First off I have a Matrix Modded Xbox in swap mode 3 so I can play on LIVE and from what you are saying :

" BTW... BACKUPS.. either BURNED or on the HARD DRIVE work! "

I could play my Ghost Recon Backup while in mod mode on XBConnect and this would not cause me to get banned when I then go and play my original games on LIVE...Is this correct?

Thanks!

It thought telling HSD to say that wouldn't let to questions like these...

Playing backups on XBConnect will not ban you on Xbox Live...

There's a big difference between Live and XBC! With XBC you will play a LAN game, only the XBC software will make your LAN a bit bigger :-)
The moment you go back to Live you must do the usual things, like switching of your modchip and use the original disc.

whats the difference between this and xlink? I'm really not sure what xlink does.

cube · « **Reply #8 on:** May 02, 2003, 01:15:00 AM »

For me XBConnect works and X-link doesn't :-) Really I can't get it to work for me, but system wise they are the same more or less. The interfaces are different, but different people prefer different interfaces....
And XBC is around longer so you'll probably find more players there.

leisenstein · « **Reply #10 on:** May 02, 2003, 06:10:00 PM »

if you had a routable modem, you could. But I think everyone here is using High-Speed

Do you need to have live installed allready?
Thought I'd ask.

cube · « **Reply #12 on:** May 06, 2003, 02:03:00 PM »

No it's not neccessary to install live.....

Where would a microphone/headset plug into on the XBox? Assuming I don't have a headset from XBox Live, is it possible to make one or use something else?

No, you need the connecting unit that goes into the controller
