"In good news for DivX player authors out there, a method of preventing the Xbox from rebooting when you eject the disk was found. There is no known way to *turn off* this mechanism, but it can be stopped from turning on in the first place. Using Visual Studio, go to "Xbox Image" in Project Options and add the following switch: /testmediatypes:0x80000007 . The Xbox will no longer reboot in this instance. It is the presence of the 80000000 bit that enables this."


Do you think this could increase the possibilities of an xbox bootdisc in anyway ?

just thought ide ask. nothing ventured, nothing gained

Well, I believe that in order to get the program to run, you have to have a modchip in the first place, so sorry, no bootdisk.

This is good for something like a DivX player, where you can run the program, then swith out that CD for a CD with the movie on it.  That way you don't have to run stuff off of the hard drive, or have that program on all of your DivX CDs.
