The emulator doesn't need 3d card it uses a plugin system and there's a software renderer plugin (It's slow on the xbox). I had epsxe running on the xbox but I had to run it 1/4 screen to get decent framerate. My playstation pad worked fine though using a usb converter I have for my pc. If linux eve...

Re: Bochs Tutorial (windows98se)

Hey guys, I followed the tutorial for running bochs every step and it works great. The virtual pc window opens but it gives me "Fatal: Could not read the boot disk". I assume this is because of my crappy phillips drive that don't work. Is there anyway I can install windows via an ISO? Cou...

Shallax wasn't the first to port gentoo to the xbox was he? He was the first to release a public project which has been very successful. I started playing with linux with home edition 1.0 as a lot of other people did see the XS forums as well as Shallax's own. It's led me to a dual boot gentoox, XP ...

as it says in the handbook gentoo is all about choices, I think if Shallax continues to develop gentoox, people will continue to use it (certainly the home version).

Thank you Shallax, I would never ever have looked at xbox-linux if it wasn't for you and out of protest I certainly won't use any new distribution that you have no part in. You did more for xbox-linux that any other individual in terms of actually getting people to use it. If this is what you choose...

Hi, I'm using the Aladdin Advance Plus Super 64 Eleventy-Billion chip and installation of the chip was fine, I booted up non write-protected (or so I thought), started gentoox, chose 'E' installation, chose 256k bank size, it extracted distro.rar, then when it went to flash the bios it gave me a Pr...
