Using an outdated version of RAR on your end.

OMG did not read about whole F format to native. :( Still se all my files on F though maybe theres still hope to copy it all over to my PC? I just had 2GB left maybe that was enought to not fudge my F up? Or is some files just curopted now? I will try to copy over most of my files now... Hope there...

The Home version of Gentoox already has GAIM installed.

Shouldn't you just format the drive Native to aviod this problem altogether? I have a 160g drive in my Xbox and I used the Native during installation and I have no problems.

Overscan doesn't need to be considered on a media player. Provided the gui is not off the screen overscan should be encouraged. All video is shot with a "safe zone" no action happens out side of this area and the image is designed to overlap the edges of the screen to combat the problems ...

ShALLaX wrote:I dont have any such overscan issues while installing or while running ... what version Xbox do you have? If its a 1.6, then these are 100% unsupported.

I have a v1.0 Launch Xbox put on Projection TVs there is always an overscan issue.

Ya, I now have to do it because the MCE flashed my X2 2.3 Lite with a 1024k BIOS instead of the 512k I normally use and wiped out my ability to reflash from a switch flip.

If you install Friendtech you will loose F and G (but you will have a lot of space for media)

It erases G: too?

1) I accept that its not stupidly easy to set the resolution, but it works. 2) You can now do this in v1.0-RC0 3) v1.0-RC0 automatically detects the correct size, when in doubt it will go for 1024k which will still flash into a 256k/512k bank. 4) To be honest, I've never tried this... how did you r...

Ok, I'm a liitle skeptical and worried before I use this friendtech media center. Ok, First, I don't have Linux on my xbox. Next, I have a 250GB harddrive for my xbox and games installed on my F: Drive and G:Drive. Next I'm using the bios X2 4983.67 Here's my questions. 1. Can I USe Friendtech medi...

In the README file it says that it requires the DVD remote to work, but I found if I plug in my DVD remote for the Xbox it will not boot. It will just sit at the BIOS screen.

Also a good screen calibration is needed. A must or the Media Center will fail.
