No! However, games are only included in the Normal (2 discs out a time) and above plans and are accessable for members who have been with DVD Direct for more than one continuous month. This is provided at no extra cost! [Return to The Top]

Games are more expensive and have a shorter shelf life than movie titles so we have made 1 game rented = 2 DVD movies or music titles. We have also made the decision to allow only game rentals start from a 3 plan so customers can also have movies alongside selected games. DVD plan you can choose to rent 2 games and 1 movie or music title or 1 game and 3 movie or music titles.

The Xbox CAN play PS1, Gameboy, Nintendo 64, Sega Megadrive\Genesis, etc. These are commonly referred to as 'Roms'

Yes: Emulators - NG Emulation source for Xbox, GBA, Nintendo 64, PSP, Nintendo DS and more! Hold on there speedy. First you'd need to find the PS2 bios via Google. Then you'd have to configure the plugins to get your games to load. There in lies the problem. There is little support and even less functionality for PS2 emulators. Most only load demos, and freeze when attempting to load a whole iso. In short, not worth it unless you're really desperate.

Emulators - NG Emulation source for Xbox, GBA, Nintendo 64, PSP, Nintendo DS and more! These are a lot more doable IF: You find the PSX bios. For copyright purposes think Google. Then you have to have a reasonably powerful PC, let's say with around 512MB's of RAM. Then you have to configure the audio, video, and CD-ROM plug ins. These will differ greatly from game to game. Mix, match, and google are your friends once again. The two most stable PSX emulators seem to be PSXeven or ePSXe.

Once the image is finished, you may enter your blank disk in your burner and select WRITE IMAGE then browse for the image file to burn to the blank disc (the file you created before) Certain files may come with specific instructions and additional steps needed to successfully back up the file, always verify if the file came with such instructions. (Generally in the form of a Readme text file.)

No, PC games cannot be played on the Xbox 360 also burned discs or discs from other video game systems cannot be played either.

No major differences between the two versions - simultaneous release. The Xbox's increased memory and graphical capabilities will yield some improvement in visuals, but for the most part the games are identical on both platforms.

For games: Ps2 of course, the games are absolutely mesmerizing :D For a second PC: XboX, there is a wide variety of multimedia software available for it ;-)

NO. Most of the time reliable emulation requires a system many times more powerful then the console you're trying to emulate. The Xbox just isn't fast enough to emulate PS2- on top of that PS2 is not easy to program for.

Only if they are Linux games, and do not require 3d acceleration. Command and Conquer games are made for Windows, not Linux, and therefore will likely not work. You might be able to tweak WINE to get them to work, but the Xbox's limited memory will stifle your ability to play enjoyably.

Hi, I've been poring over your fantastic site for a while now, and you have sold me on xbox linux! I can't seem to find an answer to a specific installation question I have: I have an xbox with a solderless modchip which I found very easy to install. As I can buy another xbox cheaply, I would like to get one as a linux- specific machine. I would prefer to do it this way because the linux machine would be for use in a seperate room to the one I use my xbox in.

This depends heavily on whether or not the game is hosted in Microsoft's servers or on a private companies servers. Most likely, all games will be covered by the standard online price.

Video is decoded natively on the PS2 for maximum quality, performance, and to reduce bandwidth requirements for your network, as well as minimize processor utilization on your PC. Products that transcode/decode video on the PC, and then transfer the data as MPEG1 or 2 (such as Prismiq®) offer significantly lower visual quality, and have very high PC resource requirements, vs. BroadQ solutions.

Devices without a web browser to complete the registration process must use a DSL/Cable Modem router to access the network. Refer to question 3 for setting up a DSL/Cable Modem router. Then refer to the Xbox or PlayStation 2 instructions provided by the manufacturers. Some games may require specific firewall rules to operate properly.

You can buy USB playstation- and xbox converters in the shops. We recommend, you contact your vendor about the quality of this signal conversion (accuracy) as we haven't tested this yet.

You can design in anything you can think of. Personally, I don't have a gaming console so I have never given any design considerations to this. However, there are a number of persons who have. Check out Build your Own Arcade Controls and look for console examples. This is a fantastic site for getting excellent ideas.

I have received an online delivery email with download URL and extraction password, but have no idea how to download, install and register the program.

No. There are some games that people could see as "ports" (GT4, Tony Hawks Underground 2 and Hot Shots Golf for example), but the amount of games like that are very few compared to all the brand new games being developed for the PSP. Those "ports" all feature new content as well.

There advertisements are false. Currently the Neo 2 is the best solution available. If there was a better chip out there, we would sell it ourselves.

No, the PS2 games utilise new technology and processor intensive tasks that the PS1 cannot perform. The PS2 is a whole new machine, however Sony have included the original PS1 chipset for backwards compatibility, meaning you can play [some] PS1 games on a PS2, but not the other way around.

If you're too lazy to read, use Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, or Maxell High Grade (DVD+R's). The PS2 laser is picky, these are the only three types of media you should trust for maximum reliability and compatibility with your PS2. Avoid Memorex, Staples, Imation, Dynex, Princo, Bulqpaq, etc. If you really want to do the PS2 backup thing right, pick up some Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim's. I only burn to TYG02, the 8x Taiyo Yuden DVD-R's.

We do not offer advice on this subject although much success is found when using some of the best commercially available CDR writing software packages.

The short answer is you can't. The long answer is you can, but it's a pain. First you'd need to download Paradox's Console ID Changer: SKS Apps Then you'd need to find a valid PS2/ilink ID for the region you wish to play online games with. These ID's are hard to come by, if any online servers detect multiple Console ID's online at the same time, you will be banned permanently. This isn't like getting kicked off for an hour because of cheating or using a modchip, this is for good.

I have heard that it is possible to download Emus and Romz (snes, nes, sega, and on) and play them in xbox linux, now, is it possible to play PS2 games on a xbox running Linux? that is download the emulator and play ps2 from linux? I have heard it is possible but i have never seen it though. Emulators are for old generation games like GameBoy, Sega Genesis, NES, Super NES, N64, and the like. There isn't a good PS2 emulator available for a high end DESKTOP computer with a 2.

A1: Remember - you can't read a drive from an xbox on a pc without doing the crazy hot-swapping protection circumvention stuff - I'd sort out that end first... A2: Once the lock issue is under control (or you've got your hot-swap mojo workin'), then yes, the FATX drivers are available as kernel patches in the XBox-Linux CVS. The 2.4 driver works best, but the latest 2.6 kernel series should work too (2.6.11, etc.).
