Brilliant idea, if I had more time, money, and expertise

Ben Heck, who in my book straddles the line between cool and ---meecrob---, hacked a 360 and one of those 50 disc cd changers to make a DVD changer for the xbox. Think about it: Mame PC hooked up to KVM hooked up to xb 360. 360 hooked up to changer. Changer hooked up to arduino, hooked up to small touch screen. The touch screen has box art for each game. You can scroll through the games and select one and then it pops into your xbox and boots on screen. Sorta like an xbox juke box. What do you all think?

fallacy:
That guy is pretty cleaver.

Of  course what your saying you could just get a Jtag xbox. Play all games from hard drive including MAME.



TopJimmyCooks:
Yeah, doesn't xbox have the equivalent of Wii GX USB loader?  Stick a fork in it - Optical media is DONE!

My SO was getting excited about a $50 Blu Ray player.  I had to explain it to her again.

I respect the hack though, it's probably the most legal way to do what he's doing. 

Donkbaca:
No thi would be cooler than a JTAG, for one, no worry about being banned, for two you could set it up to look like a juke

SavannahLion:
Yeah, this is one of the better hacks he's done in a loooooong time. Still a ---meecrob--- though.

Saw it on HaD and it's a good idea, for precisely the reason the OP states.
