I was thinking about starting a few things with the xbox and my ideas probably are not new but never the less what if someone developed a dashboard/app that allowed online content and available game downloads kinda like the wii does but then again i'm one that can dream. It seems like a possible idea but then again i'm just throwing an idea out there.

i don't think thats what he means 



i think he's saying like a Dash/app where is connects to a server and Downloads games fro you to Play  Like say Setup a App that connects to Servers that downloads like a SNES game then  you can play it etc etc 

Only thing wrong with that Is you have to have a really Good server set up and Well... it's Not really legal.

ohh ok i see what you mean
well they do have internet browsers right?
if you can download from those, then thats almost as good

i know you can do it from linux, i DID it lol

and if you really want some games, i cant recommend where to look for you
you will have to hunt down those frozenroms yourself

if your talking about games, i dont think people will do that because it is illegal. if you are talking about game content, there mimesis.

I'm trying to create an xbox app that will look up a web-address, that I own, with a crap-load of working roms on it. What it's supposed to do, is to be able search my database for a certain rom, then play it. Sort of like specifing a different rom path. Only, it's over the internet. So far, it's not working yet. But, when I get a working app, I'll post a beta!

lol wat kinda of r0m(s) though? ex $NE$, Atari, Game B0y

But over all sounds like a badass idea

Uh, mostly snes, nes, n64, and neogenesis roms. They don't take up much space and bandwith. But, if demands for other old-school systems are a lot, I'll incorporate them. Maybe. But, seeing as I won't be able to create it for the 360, I doubt there'll be many people using it anyways. I've bought my own dedicated server for it all. Lots of bandwith/space.
By the way, nice sig Snipes

Dude, I'd be glad to have you as a beta tester. I'm just haing a lot of problems with it, I think I'm gonna scrap the stand-alone version, and just create a plug-in for xbmc + major skins for it. You know, MC360, containment, PMIII, and xTV. I personaly use Containment. It's my fav, since all my large HDD's failed and I only have a standard 10 GB. That sucks, but for somehow, I've managed to install a game on the cache drive X , and it hasn't re-foratted it. Sweetness.

xbox-game. It was morrowind. Doesn't take up a lot.
I'll have to make a special version of it on xTV for you  Tongue
If I can, I'm hoping to upload PSX roms too, but I still can't get them to work.
