is there a way to run a minimal version of linux and an x86 emulator on one core, xp on the the other two cores like a normal 3.2 ghz dual core computer?
look up tinyxp.

mythtv works.

i do have an USB sound stick, and you will need it to most of the programs.. Or wait untill tmbinc's has completed the onboard sound driver.
what works:
* mythtv +addons (you do need to disable deinterlace to be able to use mythvideo!)
* Scummvm
* Xmame
* Xmess
* Xbox360 controller usb+wireless
* firefox etc..
*...
We are looking for somebody who can PORT the XBMC for linux to PowerPC code, for example there is X86 ASM code in XBMC && there are some x86 only code in it(__stdcall for example)

I tried to virtualize windows XP and it took 3-5 hours to install. I gave up on it because it was way to slow to be usable.

I think that our 2 main priorities are to port XBMC to linux for PPC so it can run on a 360 and to get sound working on the 360 through linux [creating the drivers which i understand is already being worked on]
@ICEKiller, does VLC Media player work because you could just use that to play all your video files or has it not been ported to a PPC system?

I found MPlayer which is:
MPlayer is a movie player which runs on many systems (see the documentation). It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, RealMedia, Matroska, NUT, NuppelVideo, FLI, YUV4MPEG, FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV movies..
So really it is like on par with vlc and has a ppc port of it too.!!!
Could someone try it on their 360 and maybe even try playing some 720p mkv x264 vids???
that would be great..

yeah i can play 720p haven't tried x264 ..
hm it would run smoother if we found a kernel hacker who would (and can) hack the kernel so that the vid buffer can use cached memory instead of uncached (20mbits again't 2gbit orsomething..)
