First off I must say thanks for creating GameEx. There are others out there but this is the best in my book. It's nice to see the technology working through the various challenges. Your app being a missing link. I'm sure down the road everything will come together nicely. As for the quote above, yes you have a valid point. Either the HTML will have to work kinda like a DOS-box but with HTML running the emulator or it will actually have to emulate the various emulator types. That's a tough one either way. I'll have to watch things for a bit and maybe I can pull a rabbit out of my hat with a tweak here or there. As for any lag stuff I wouldn't worry about it, cross over cable reduces any router lag and is a direct 100M connection. Tbear

GameEx could work with the extender but it would need to be a HTML file that calls on the roms. So I guess the questions goes, is there any program like GameEX that is HTML based?

Well streaming media can be done in several ways. VLC, Media Player encoder are just two that can stream video over a LAN or the Internet. But to stream a live desktop is a little more challenging. I would say SMS with remote tools could pull a live desktop, but I haven't ever thought about pushing a live desktop or app over the wire. Even if it was possible, a TV in another room posses issues with the controller, you would need either a blue tooth or RF based controller or a really long USB ext cable. Which would be less than desireable. I have played GameEX on my TV using S-video from my PC but it's not the concept of what I'm trying to accomplish. As for Xbox and Dos, yea you should be able to do that, You should be able to produce a bootable DVD with any PE you want on it (linux, ERDcommander, BartsPE). But the object really is to put gameex inside of MC on the xbox. I personally have gone down the route of creating such a DVD but if Microsoft can produce a MCX then surely the rest of us coiuld.

Well I just posted the same thing. I am looking to do this with my normal Xbox. I haven't had any success yet but I think it is possible. I installed the Weather plugin and it works great on my xbox MC. My configuration is PC with two nic's one wireless, the other uses a cross-over cable to my xbox. Both NIC's on PC are on seperate subnet scopes. The trick there is to put no Gateway address on the PC for the NIC using the cross over cable. Xbox pulls data through PC using the NIC on PC as it's Gateway. The weather pulls data from internet with no problems and playback of video is flawless (100MB). I have PC is living room and TV in the other room with the cables going through the wall. Sweet setup. I only wish my TV card was a daul If I have any success I'll post it here. Please do the same. Additional note: After thinking about it, it might not be possible. GameEx is really a program of it's own and not a plugin. It only places a link to the app. But still I would think that technically it would be possible but might not be programmed in a way to work in this fashion. Hopefully somebody will be able to make it happen. Tbear

I have Media Center edition 2005 using a xbox media center extender to bring my media center to my TV. I can configure everything to work for the MC, even the Weather plugin, but I install GameEx and it doesn't populate the more programs on the extender. Anybody ever try this or know how to do this? One thing I can say it that it says it must be located in the programs root directory. For what it's worth. I don't know exactly what it means, I've tried copying thinks to different places with no success. Thanks ahead of time. Tbear
