HCE On A Xbox?

[DECOY]

I've played XBConnect with Lightning on his custom CE maps.

There's a tool that converts the tags so that they can be used for the XBox format.

The magic convertor? I also use it as part of running tags through to PC.
where did it come from? ( I got mine off UUNET FTP site in Norway, whats that about? )

rossum, modding open source code, like linux, is perfectly legal. You can even mod Halo all you want, without getting too much grief from people. It's when you try and sell the product/code you made for money that it becomes illegal and you can be sued. Just don't try to connect to XBL with a modded box. Yes, now I answer the first question of this thread. Even if CMT makes a HCE port for Xbox, the most we would have would be system link, if that.

Wasn't it already said sometime way back that there would eventually be a Campaign port to Xbox for co-op?

Normally, you'd be right - but the Xbox (in its entirety) is considered a Microsoft product, and modifying it as such in any way voids the warranty and is considered illegal, last time I checked.

You can port CE maps. Neuros map got ported.

Actually quite a few of them have been converted.

There is no legal way to do it. The encoding the Xbox recognizes, plus the fact you have to mod the box to get it to work, makes it almost impossible unless you can put a false Microsoft Signature tag or something on the disc (again illegal)

BTW I was talking about the games when I said it was legal. I didn't mean the Xbox itself.

[rossmum]

The games are still property of their respective producers and as such most modding is actually illegal, however most gaming companies either don't care or actively promote modding these days.

There's this great website that has great deals on Custom Edition maps.
