Xbox mod
JoyMonkey:
AFAIK Xbox drives have a hard time reading DVR+R's. I've only ever used CD-RWs and DVD-R's.
Silver:
Aha - especially the samsung... "as far as I know samsung drive will not read +R or +RW unless your burner is setup the correct way with bitsetting and booktype adjusted. "
Luckily:
"Here are directions on how to Bitset or Change the BookType on Plextor, NEC, BenQ, LG, LITE-ON, Nu Tech/QSI and Ricoh Burners....."
we shall see...
EDIT: Yep, works a treat.
ChadTower:
It's much easier to flash via HTTP if your chip has that built in. I had no issues with that, just with the flash protection on my chip.

Yeh, I've just not hooked up the network yet. It's going to have to go through a wireless adapter which I have not got round to configuring. Once done, hopefully I'll start playing with the config files of xmbc etc... via ftp.
Anyway, just installed xbmc to take a look - very nice...
On a side note - what sort of temperature should the xbox cpu be running at? Mine appears to fly up to 60 degrees C (140F) just idling at the dashboard. Is that normal?
ChadTower:
If it is normal for an Xbox it's high for this type of device. My Tivos generally run in the low 40s. If they approach 50 they start to show performance issues.
If you have a larger HD, especially a 7200RPM drive, that will increase the heat some.
