Hi all,

After some days and a lot of work: The Xmêlée Project presents you the Xmêlée Website, it has opened one week ago and now it is correctly running! A new version is also available: Xmêlée (French/Canadian name) Client v2.1 is ready, and Xmêlée Gserver 1.07 too.

Link to the download: here
CHANGELOG: here

I remember you what is Xmêlée:
It is a open-source tunneling software for video games systems hosted on Sourceforge.net, especially created for Xbox, with a Xmelee client you will be able to play games online for free! As with XLink and XBC.
The main difference is the server part: there's no real "orbital server", with Xmêlée you will be able to make your own server! Not your own "private room", you own server! It isn't compulsory to make a private server, a default server already exists and you can play directly on it with the client.
Obviously, you'll be able to make rooms, protected or not by passwords..., join rooms, chat with players. But with less lag as possible, if the owner of the server and players live in the same country, or better, if they are in the same "Internet Company" the lag will less appear because there isn't an "orbital server", ping will be smaller.

For instance, I tested Xmêlée with a 1Mb connection (DSL in France), with other tunneling services, the 1Mb host had lag with 4 people on Halo 2 (without MSN). And with Xmêlée, always with the same connection, I hosted 8/9 people! A big difference!
