dude, hardware hacks on games consoles as expensive as the 360 are something people will always shy away from... what if you go wrong? (it's not hard!)
Unfortunately this can't be done anymore since updates back in 2007 were released by Microsoft. I wish we were able to run emulators on the 360, Dreamcast would most definitely be possible, and PS2 could be possible too.
hey i need your help..i dont have enough money to buy a pc..so i waz wonderin if i could do the same thing as you are doing..and play PC games on STEAM such as tf2 or cs source..is it possible?cz my pc sux now..and i cant buy a new one..what i can do is buy an xbox...so please tell me if it can be done..help wil be appreciated!..thanks..
No, that would be excessively difficult and time consuming. Just work a few more hours for a new computer. Also steam wont run on Linux, only windows, and the 360 really isn't powerful enough as xbox games are highly optimized for the system, unlike steam games.
hey umm ive bin searchin for quite a while on how to run operating softwares on xbox..i cant buy a pc cuz i dun haf enuf cash n all i wanna do is play games on the pc..so is it possible if i can install windows xp onto the xbox 360 and then run it and then play STEAM games such as tf2 or cs source on it?i dun haf enuf cash to buy a new pc wid a kik ass graphic card so i waz wondering if THIS could be done..i would really appreciate your help!thanks
That's a good trick, especially considering the Xbox 360 runs a different architecture to XP and Vista. It's based on the IBM PowerPC 970 (G5). Unfortunately, that comment is like saying "hey I installed Vista on my 3 year old Power Mac". Not that it can't be done, it can, but it can't be done natively. It would require emulation.
no. pc games are made for x86 processors. the ps3 processor is closer to a powerpc(mac). you can't run wine either. assuming this is running on the 360.
what i have been seen in last 3 days is that sbox 360 has acout a 9.3gheart mother board and an ati video card that is almost the same as the nvidia 7500 i think.
well its completly possible to run it.
most of the problem is to install it to the xbox360
your such a nub =D, first off the mobo does not have a clock speed, the CPU does, & it has a 3 core 3.2GHZ powerPC chip, the GFX chip is similar to a radeon X1900XT(X?) & with 512 MB of 700mhz RAM, but you are right that it should run just about any *nix os out there. any way, do research before posting anything, K thx...
probabbly just changed the source to his computer really quick..my tv supports 3 components, cable, s-video and dvi and a vga cord for computer. what a moron.
There's no proof this is real. All I think he's done is set up his TV as a second screen for the laptop and set Virtual PC to run on there loading an emulated Ubuntu environment, but pardon me if I'm wrong. I'm not saying it's fake, just not enough proof that it's real.
Id say its real...he just exploited the King Kong game..but the ubuntu its actually on his pc..which is a bit silly really..so its not real in a way lol!
Just because the SPEs arent processors doesnt mean they arent useful. I am speaking from experience in programming for the PS3 platform. They are virtually the only processor capable of calculating armies of AI at speeeds way faster than the game framerate. Bit of a shame the G70 wasnt a bit faster...
The PS3 may have the Cell, but unless you're programming for something that can be vectored, it's not much more than a single PPC.
A 360 may have less potential power, but any PPC code that words with SMP will work fast as hell.
The PS3 is insanely powerful for things that can be vectored (ray tracing, scientific calculation) but it lacks some floating point and code must be written for it.

Thats not amazing all he did was flash his 360's firmware. Then modded disc maps on halo 2 with easy mod tools and converted it to 360 image so it could fit on a dual layer disc and burn it. Very simple

The XBox360 doesn't have "cell" processors. It has 3 PPC cores, each with 2 hardware threads. You don't know what you're talking about. It's the PS3 that has 9 cell processors, which is another term for DSP.
No he's not. The 360, until the PS3 was released, was the most powerful computer you could purchase as a consumer product. It's got 3 processors, and each has 2 hardware threads and it runs at 3.2 Ghz. You can't even get 3 core x86s, and this is effectively 6 cores. I was working on 4 core PPCs in 2000.
No I'm not. The XBox360 can push over 10 GB/s through it memory bus. Name any consumer product, including computers, that can attain that? I'm an engineer, that works on these products. I know for a fact I'm right.
Memory bus is not the only thing you have to take into account when making claims about the 'power' of a computer - if the xbox was really the most powerful computer available to consumers then people would be hooking them up into large arrays and making cheap supercomputers :P
...actually the 360 is more powerful than any computer made. The only reason we do not hook them up is because it is really really hard to get Microsoft to let us. In the 360 is so powerful it already is running Windows 2000...modded heavily of course but it is Windows 2000.
He's correct if you only include consumer devices. Certainly it cannot compete with supercomputers or massive Beowulf clusters. For it's price/performance ratio, absolutely nothing beats it. Not even the PS3.
Well, actually, I've used Vista with 256 MB RAM. They only make 512 MB the "requirement" because of the extra processes (the gadgets that run... if you run them) and MAINLY because of the Hibernate feature. And in my oppinion Vista is one of the best Windows OS's yet (especially when all the programs become more compatable, then it WILL be the best).
It's 3 PPC cores with 2 HW threads each. That means that you are BW limited to the memory. You can't take the XBox30 and run unsigned code on it either. It's also a game machine, which means that the same quality standards that must be met for a computer aren't being met for it. It would be too unstable to run as a supercomputer Beowulf cluster.
360 can put out up to 1 TFLOP/sec. PS3 can put out up to 2. Technically they are classified as super computers for doing this. Plus 360 has 3 cores and PS3 has 9. They are far more advanced than yo mommas e-machines.
Why even bother. Ps3, Ps4...is leading the way for consoles to be PC alternatives especially with Linux install. I predict Sony will eventually have to move away from GameOS to its own optimized Linux distribution(eliminating the dual boot). Because if Apple jumps into consoles with OsX, then ps and xbox are screwed.
are you people all so stupid he stored a kmc copy of linux on the disc in a r formt also in the hard drive thier for creating a all use system (NOT FULL WORKING THOU)
This is due the early test stages in the script. It actually loads from a shader system in a game. Soon enough will we load it from hardrive or ethernet connector. Then we can experience some real 360 speed :)
Linux is an operative system.... that means we have turned the 360 to computer. Biggest advantage i have of this is the free to do whatever you want on the console... this gonna open more and more exploits since we broke the first big barrier.
Y do people leave negative comment you lot couldnt fukin do it cause you think there is nothing good that comes out of this your stupid shhhhhh derk head
cuss you can do linux on other konsols without a problem to have to crack it and stuff. Microsoft is just a pile of shit trying to controll stuff they sell :(
You obvious dont know what you are talking about... they NEED to have security on the box either they want or not. Otherwise the game producers wont release anything to the console.
And how do you know you will have full access on the Xbox360? I didn't see anything in this video that could proof it. And btw.: Gametrailers had an interview (about two weeks ago) with one of the creators of Yellow Dog Linux for the PS3 and this guy said, that they are working right now on the full RSX access.
We already have full access to all the cores, im very in to the scene so i know because i have this software myself. And no they wont make a non-limited release to PS3 because that is against the law... they gotta call it Computer package instead of gaming console. And however opening linux will make more parts of the PS3 exploitable and that cant sony handling (with the loss they have already made on the console)
Look. Microsoft wouldn't be able to even make the XBox is it wasn't for the security. They poured a LOT of money into the machine. It's extremely powerful. They have to protect their investment. They don't make money selling the boxes. Sony doesn't either - they make it by licensing. The 360 wouldn't exist if Microsoft couldn't do this.
just to answer to those hwo is asking why he need a computer, the xbox is hacked through the serial port on the xbox, so it is connected to the pc through the serial port
Yeah, it appeared like the XBox was simply acting like a host for a PC terminal. What good is that - really? Even the Gentoo Linux hack for the original XBox was very slow running and really not worth it. It would be different if you could get the 360 to dual boot and run either Linux or XBox 360 software, but you know Micro$oft would do their best to break your box if you ever went on XBox Live and they snooped your drive contents.

And no they wont make a non-limited release to PS3 because that is against the law... they gotta call it Computer package instead of gaming console. And however opening linux will make more parts of the PS3 exploitable and that cant sony handling (with the loss they have already made on the console)

Look. Microsoft wouldn't be able to even make the XBox is it wasn't for the security. They poured a LOT of money into the machine. It's extremely powerful. They have to protect their investment. They don't make money selling the boxes. Sony doesn't either - they make it by licensing. The 360 wouldn't exist if Microsoft couldn't do this.

English isn't his first language. He's sweedish, which means he probably knows at least 3 languages.

just to answer to those hwo is asking why he need a computer, the xbox is hacked through the serial port on the xbox, so it is connected to the pc through the serial port

Yeah, it appeared like the XBox was simply acting like a host for a PC terminal. What good is that - really? Even the Gentoo Linux hack for the original XBox was very slow running and really not worth it. It would be different if you could get the 360 to dual boot and run either Linux or XBox 360 software, but you know Micro$oft would do their best to break your box if you ever went on XBox Live and they snooped your drive contents.

No, they couldn't if you install Linux on an external USB HDD. You could plug off everytime you want to play over Xbox Live

True, but you do so at the expense of I/O throughput between the processor & hard drive. You can get better performance out of a cheap PC.
Is there currently a solution where the XBox has access to various USB peripherals (Mouse, Keyboard, Scanner, Printer, etc.)
I seriously doubt XBox Linux is currently practical vs conceptual, where it seems to be right now.

Live cd's do have an account. Alot of times it is "root" and "toor"

true, but ubuntu is not one of them, it randomizes a password on first boot and auto logs in
