Top 10 Reasons Why You Might Want A Trusty Xbox!

I am curious about how fast DOSBox is on the Trusty XBox though. Is it fast enough to run games like Carmageddon, Blood and System Shock?
That would be interesting cause I know for a fact that Carmageddon runs like a dog.  Even with the dynamic recompiler.. Although it is "almost" playable on the dynamic recompiler.

All those other options are nice but I still like my xbox and something like a trusty would extend it's life some more.  The big thing for me (aside from the fact that I can tweak the code till my hearts content) is the consistent interface from app to app, 4 controllers, and the convenience of being able to move it around the house rather easily.

But it is true that over time the xbox will no longer be a practical machine to use.

Yeah I've looked into that.. apparently requires a CD image of Rayman with sub channel data.  Which I'm seem to be having trouble finding.  Kinda helps to have an original.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)  However I only have Rayman Rush.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I used to have an original... but I don't recall having seen it the last few years... I didn't like it when I was young for some reason, but I can look for it! smile.gif

Edit: Ok, so I can't find a majority of my games, unless they're gone... sad.gif

whats the deal here then do we buy a chip and some ram modules, or do i have to dismantle one of my eggboxes to get the ram?
Honestly i would probably go ahead and solder some more junk on to my eggbox its just my soldering kind of sux!, arent there any "clip on" things around here that i can just shove on to the dumb things?

i think i should probably have some spare processors laying around here some where any one know what type they need to be? i imagine celeron or intell p3 ?
Only problem with that is... tho only intell p3 i see in my pile of pc stuffs looks liek a vhs casette lol.
