There is NO INVERTER powering the Xbox. It is a custom made power supply that runs directly on 12V (made by myself), with a battery backup to keep the xbox powered up during engine cranks.
-v 1.4, tsop flashed
-128mb ram
-100gb laptop HDD

I have one of the black logitech wireless controllers...I love it, my only complaint is that the trigger is very sensitive, so you have to be carefull otherwise you'll be playing halo and accidentally throw like three grenades, or playing an emulator and accidentally start fastforwarding. Also, it goes into sleep mode, which is a good thing since it saves batteries, but some people find it annoying cause you have to press a button to reactivate it. just pressing the d-pad or joysticks doesn't reanimate it. Seems to go through batteries fairly quickly, but they have a newer version of the one I bought that's purple or something and it's supposed to last for like 1,000 hours or some ungodly long time. It is a very high quality, well-made controller though. I don't think I'd use a wireless controller made by anyone else.

Blackbolt, I just noticed from your photo (and now from your stats) that you don't own an Xbox 360. How in the heck did you produce the skin without the original examples to work off of? The only 360 I've seen is walking by the brats playing (if you could call it that) the demo at Target. I'd be utterly lost if someone asked me to describe the dash, much less re-create it for a different platform.
Simply amazing.
Correct me if am wrong but I remember when he started that he did not have one and that he was using pics for reference.
Well done to say the least....there is no hi-def version and it still does justice to even large hd screens.

Yep all artwork was created with only low res examples available from Google Image search. I have probably played on a real 360 in GAME (UK version of EB) for about 10 mins, using the dash for about 30 seconds then at a friends house playing a single race of PGR3 before shooting off. So i have had less than 30 mins with a real 360. The closest I have come to a 360 is using my Wired XBox 360 controller on my PC for gaming.;
It was a struggle but I think I did well, with the help of the team I worked with.
Post by: SydneyGuy on July 10, 2006, 04:34:00 PM
The only real problem is batteries. It's a real bummber if they go flat just before you get that high score you have been trying to get for months. I use rechargables. Just make sure you have another set handy.

One thing I dont agree with is everyones who's mentioned it says its a battery hog... Ive not changed the batteries yet at all since I opened the package. Using 2 double A Lithium Energizer Batteries. 10 bucks, and like I said since I got it in Dec never changed the batteries. I've noticed recently that the vibration feature isnt as strong anymore, so I'll prolly change them soon, but still completley functional.
How many hours a day do you all use yours? (maybe Logitech controller posts should be made into a new thread?)

This drive is much better, it reads all discs except original games, but i have another unmodded xbox just for live so no worries with that.
I cant eject the DVD tray from the dashboard and the little open eject tray at the bottom of mc360 i useless but im not worried about that just now.

Like I mentioned in mine, I think all the newer logitech controllers have a lot longer battery life. I think only the older ones eat batteries. I have to replace mine about once a week, with moderate to light use, which isn't TOO bad, but I'm going to get a battery charger so I don't ahve to fork out so much money just for wirelessness.

He is running in PAL mode. Unfortunatly the way XBMC scales things in NTSC fucks with alot of stuff, the font alighment is the main thing.

I'll sell you my 19 inch widescreen for like 300 if you're interested....I got it for like 450 about a year ago, pretty much mint condition. It's also got a built in tv tuner and composite and component inputs in addition to vga
I'm gettin one for like 160.

pfft, you could get a 20.1 in widescreen for that price. Granted it wont have a tv tuner and component, but that's different. He's probably looking for an LCD monitor, not an LCD TV.
I'll post my setup in a little bit, it's nothing too great.

And i thought about the hassle of using my laptop instead, which would be fine, but just using XBMC alone (and even better, when used with mc360!!!!), i MUCH more enjoy using an xbox in my ride, having the media collection, and play games here and there if need be.

Post by: roormonger on August 28, 2006, 07:10:00 PM
Both the white xbox and controller were painted by me(the controller used to lool waaayyyy better),I put the clear case on the other xbox, both the controllers have added buttons on them and I added a button on the memory card. When one of those controllers is plugged in controller port 1 of either xbox it will turn them on or off,and when one of those controllers is plugged in controller port 1 of either xbox it will open or close the disc tray. I used to have lights in the clear xbox but they died.

Hard to see but the box is just a standard clear blue case with blue LEDs, and I have it set up in its own corner with its own 24" TV as a dedicated MC360 monitor with an Audio Rocker chair in front (not pictured). It works to have on a lot because of the wallpapers I made for MC360 (they fit the room's theme).
I took a shot of the other side of the room with the 30" HDTV that I occasionally put the Xbox on, but 95% of the time I just keep it on its own dedicated screen in the corner.

Hi, I've been a lurker for a while, but couldn't resist showing off my car setup so I decided to finally register for a login!
The screen is actually the factory GPS navigation screen, tapped into via an RGB video switch. The Xbox is installed in the trunk and is controlled via remote control (and a Xantech IR distribution system). The power inverter is under the driver's seat.

No I am not the bitch YOU are Karma's bitch. You slated MC360 when it came out ALOT, you are on your last warning here at Xbox-Scene, your moderation notes say it all, YOU are the bitch. So I suggest you stop acting like you are untouchable and stop being an angry little person and then everything should go smoothly, the last thing I want to do is deal with hypocrites all day.
