whoa! thats actually possoble? i thought u could only run linux or xbox (.xbe) based programs??? so r u saying i could basically run ANY program on my xbox??? |
you can run things under linux, you can run windows apps with WINE (however alot of apps wont run well, since by that time you have 3 layers of OS and xbox has a finite amount of RAM and processing power, lol)
ok, could you explain this WINE thing and how to get it please??
thanx
WINE is a windows emulator for linux. However it isnt recommended for the xbox because of the limited hardware.

all i know about it is that its a windows emulator for linux, ill have to let some of linux gurus fill you in on the rest
ok thanx...so theres no other way to run messenger on my xbox other than with WINE?
you dont even need WINE.......im 99.9% sure there is MSN messenger available for linux. You can just install linux on the xbox then download MSN.
ok ill give it a try, then get back to u...thanx
