Depends upon the game. If it's a DOS game, try DOSEmu (apt-get install dosemu in Xebian to install). Afterwards, you'll likely need to run dosemu not as dosemu, but as xdosemu. If it's a Windows game, Wine (apt-get install wine) may *or may not* run it. Regardless, there is no 3-D support on the XBox, so all games will run at lower resolutions/details (assuming they run at all). Try searching around for a site regarding the particular game you want to run (Half-Life, for instance) for more info.

how do u get ozx memory to recognize my usb memory stick. i have a sandisk 256 and ozx say "NO FatX at drive" If your mem stick isn't formatted as FATX, then you need to start up your XBox to Microsoft's dashboard and insert your memstick. THe Dashboard will say the disk has been damaged and has been reformated. BE ADVISED: all of your data previously on your mem stick WILL be gone! I don't know about the 2004 Holiday Bundle, but most of the 2003 Holiday Bundles XBoxes *should* be v1. See similar questions...

The install guide suggests that if I still want to play games, I should install linux with dual boot functionality. My understanding of this is that I would then be booting linux from an xbox dash (Avalaunch in my case). If this is the case would I be still be able to play backed-up games through avalaunch? I would have though this to be an obvious yes, but the FAQ says the following: See similar questions...

No and this includes demo discs from the Official Xbox Magazine. Additional info (thanks to Byron Hinson): Here is the official quote I got on it the other day from Microsoft.

The Xbox 360 will be backward compatible with the old games - this is done using something called an "emulation profile" which tells the new console how to play your old game - one is needed for each game. The top 100 selling games will have their profiles on the Hard Drive so titles such as Halo 2, Forza, and Project Gotham Racing 2 etc will play fine on the new console. Games outside the top 100 will also be supported as additional profiles will be available to download. See similar questions...

Each region uses 2 separate ways to identify DVDs and games. All North and South American Xboxes use the NTSC format for DVDs and games, and DVDs use another type of format called the region code. If you are staying in the same general region you should be able to play games properly, but DVDs from that region will most likely not work. See similar questions...

Absolutely, Java supports multiple types of systems! All you need is a browser that supports Java. We have seen our games run on many different types of UNIX systems. If you are using the X11 GUI interface, make sure you are running the games directly on that UNIX system otherwise you may bring your server and network down to a crawl (guess how we found this out!).

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. See similar questions...

Playing backup copies of games has nothing to do with Linux. You'll need a hack from someone else like XBox Scene (http://www.xbox-scene.com) to run backed up games: neither the MechAssault method nor Cromwell runs backup games. If you have a modchip that can run backup games, the you could install Linux too. You could, but if you're going to do the hardware modification (presumably with a modchip with a switch), there there is no need for the software modification anymore. See similar questions...

Unfortunately No, the North American box will only play North American games. The regional encoding is set when it passes through certification & in to the authorized replicators. North American Xbox systems will only play NTSC games, Japanese boxes will play NTSC-J games & Europe & the rest of the PAL territories will only play games marked with the PAL symbol.

Play-by-post is a way of playing D&D (or any roleplaying game) online without needing chat software or a specific meeting time. Basically, the DM makes a post to a thread describing what the players see/hear/experience, and then each player responds with his character's reactions. Posting times vary between game, from fast games that ask for players to post several times per day, to games that require only one post per week. See similar questions...
