Hi folks.. I'm TheDaddy from xlink.. Here's a very early update on xlink for the xbox itself.. At the moment, we are working on making our own dash which will allow you to see ppl who are in WGN mode and see what games they're playing - then choose what game u wanna play and play. At the moment, it doesnt do anything about actually routing the packet data - you still need the PC in WGN mode.. Hopefully, soon we are gonna be able to get the whole xlink UI running on the box itself - as a dashboard.. so you can move between rooms / messenger / WGN mode and use a keyboard to type etc.. Although you would still need your PC to be on with xlink running...... There may be a way to route the packets, but it would require a modified BIOS .. Sadly, a new dash cant do it - dashes are just programs like anything else.. If anyone from any of the BIOS crews sees this, drop me a line at [email protected] - I reckon I have a plan, but need some technical help from you guys... Anyway, I'm off to continue RC2 (which btw will now fully support homebrew games - like the excellent DoomX and Duke3D ports by lantus), as well as a load of fancy new features - including (hopefully) the XLinkDash software for the xbox itself.. Cheers TheDaddy

sounds great, keep up the good work

xlink sees all the games from xbox in WGN mode ... if 4 or 5 rooms are in halo ... you see all of them and pick you room you want to join. Then restart different game ... and all rooms show up for that game too. That's why i wish we HAD seperate ROOM here so we could post PIN ups and get alot of interest in it! Xlink gets buried here in this ROOM ... but a dedicated room would allow alot of people to hear about it ... show link to get software, and set up advanced times to play ,ect... Again there are 500,000 people playing LIVE There are 500 playing xbconnect (90 percent HALO and 3-6 playing  xlink! So we need to make seperate room ... this would benefit everyone!     even Shanafan ... if he says he has nothing AGainst xlink and xbconnect ... he could prove it ... by supporting the IDEA .    IT's just lip service for Shanafan ... or he would have understood why I was PUSHING the System LINK Tunneling room IDEA!   ONE reason!  Get more people on XLINK and xbconnect playing all the system link games! PERIOD!

i'd definetly support you on this

Just a quick update..

The XLinkDash XBE, although at first will still require a PC, will certainly eventually support PC-less play. Preliminary investigation into the xbox kernel (im totally new to all that stuff) looks promising, and im 90% sure we can implement the full set of XLink services direct from the xbox itself...

Cheers

P.S  Can you give LINKS to other Forums discussing Xlink?

hey, don't mean to be ragging on you and all....but if your idea worked (for running more than 1 programs at once on the xbox) then the idea for my memory dumper would work...without the need for any hardware.  (letting you replace your hacked bios with original one right after the game loads)

8 Other box receives it, and brutally forces source IP back to 0.0.0.1

Yeah - we need some fairly sick kernel hacking here... but thats the point... if it works, it's gonna be sick

cheers
