Best of luck! This is my kind of project. I always was, and still am, too lazy to learn (Visual) C++ well enough to even bother with the XDK.

I didn't really formally learn C either... just kind of pushed until things worked with free-xdk.

But if this isn't already known, PBL had issues with, I believe, more than 2 USB devices hooked up? I had not the experience to fix this problem and was barely able to troubleshoot it... But I'm pretty sure those were the circumstances in which, at least, PBL would stall for a great length of time for me. Can't remember much else.

I'm pretty much a newbie, but when time allows, I'd be glad to help however I can.

Great idea, PedrosPad. It may have resparked my interest in the Xbox.

Just a thought, I was talking to a few of my buddies about your post, and they seem to think that you can get better results with having all 4 ports plugged in??? dont ask , long story.... Also on a whim, do you have access to a dvd dongle, have that plugged into port 3, may also increase your chances....

was there ever a solution found for a 1.6 with the video issues? If the xbox gets a DHCP address the user won't know what the address is if they can't see it.. I guess you could look through the router for a client list.. But i'd like to also like the video to work.. Another solution would to set the hostname of the xbox to "xbox" you can just place that on there if the xbox is in the local network..

If anyone interested in making a update script/feature script (allows you to download ne w featers like gamebackup samba http (for remote)) I might just look how the gentoox magic script works and emulate that and host all the updates on my server.. (or perhaps SF.net)

EDIT : Spelling.. Hehe bare with me. i didn't catch everything but fixed it to where is readble..

Tried with 4 joysticks last night a mixture of 1st and 3rd party pads, and tried all sorts of permutations - still no good results.

The numbering is 2 3 0 1 from left to right, not 0 1 2 3. I did some debugging awhile ago on the pad.c in openXDK and found that out..

That makes since, considering the backwards MCH controller.

it's crashing on me somewhere in the startup routines. Where depends on what xbox I use unfortunately. My 1.4 crashes before my friend's 1.0 (iirc might be wrong on this version).

Some info on the linux side..

I tried adding a samba server to the new linux but it was too big for the ramdisk.. The ram disk supports 4096k while my ramdisk image was 6093k. I'm not sure what determines the 4096k i think it might be xcromwell bootloader since i didn't seen anything the the postlinux boot up in mkaing the ramdisk.

I quicky came accross ls command with allow you to map a program IE

ls -s /mnt/E/samba/ /mnt/usr/bin/

so when linux goes to look for samba in the bin folder it load it from the Xbox's hard drive.. Allowing me to get my ramdisk back down to 1mbish though i havn't tested the ls all the way on the xbox seems to work just fine on my pc for now..

If i can get samba working this would be great for XBMC users who have many xbox's networked over their house with video's stored on them.. You could launch this baby and have samba server working from the xbox it self! YEA BABY!. YEA!

Interesting developments.. I'll get back into pushing further with the cromwell usb library. Thing is, I bet you're right that the USB code for the openXDK does only work in finicky situations. This is a bad thing, and is due to the code being largely a hack. I'm pushing further with my dash-app too, it's almost able to be released (had some time to do some more prettification) but I mean, without input there isn't much that can be done

Keo-Keo, what you've done sounds great!! Just a quick question, I've yet to try what you've done, but do you think you could set it up that a certain key combination could reboot the xbox? That way you don't always have to telnet in and reboot it to get back to the dash.. no idea if this is possible or already implemented.

(oh, and I think you might mean 'ln' not 'ls'. ls just lists files, but 'ln' makes symbolic links which is what you're talking about

)

Yea your right (ln).. hehe.. :-)

What you said umm maybe not sure.. I havn't seen any linux that reboots.. If linux could reboot (not just halt the system for you to reboot it) Then it should be possible a keycombo would launch a shell script.. But i'd have to ask Chimp on this since he's the only one i've seen with mini linux and xpad fuctions.

I'll try to pop out some tests of samba.. I think it would be great addon. :-D

IIRC GentooX has a linux reboot command.
