Playing Images Off Hdd?
« on: March 05, 2003, 06:07:00 PM »
Is there any virtual dvd-rom progams that allow you to play game images off your xbox's hard drive? Like daemon tools for xbox or something like it?

Playing Images Off Hdd?

I don't believe there are any such programs that do exactly that. The Xbox doesn't support multi-tasking, so you couldn't have a program managing the image and the game running at the same time. This is the same reason you can't 'stream' games from a network server.

I guess it would be possible for someone to write an image extraction tool run on the Xbox, which would let you extract the files from the image and play the game from the files, but I haven't heard of such a tool existing.
