GameEx not showing up on Windows Media Center on Xbox360

[katharian]

Okay. I have my Windows media center and my GameEx connected to it. It works perfectly on my computer.

ALAS!!!

My Windows Media on my Xbox doesn't show up at all. It's there in my settings, the center knows it's there BUT it's not showing up in the menu for me to play it.

Please help smart wizards! I beseech you aid!

Hate to break your heart but GameEx only works on Windows.

Really? Is there any program that works for the xbox?

See the thing is computer gaming is stressing for me. I have a couple auto immune diseases and the stress that computer gaming puts on your body is hard for me. I can't play a lot of games while I'm sitting on a bunch of pillows on my couch.

Do you have the same problems if you connect your computer to your television? A lot of us here run HTPC setups in this fashion. In many ways this can be the best of both worlds. You get the quality and fidelity of computer gaming combined with the comfort and atmosphere of console gaming. It's the only way to fly! You can even use an Xbox 360 controller for windows games and emulators to complete the illusion.

Yes.. I think I'm going to hook up my computer to my Tv, I need to look around for an Hdmi cable first though.

I heard that you can use the xbox controller to play the games but I needed something that would make it work with my computer and stuff.

Could you wonderful gentleman please inform of doing this and what I need to buy?

Maybe I could use my hdmi cable from my xbox and hook it up to my computer.. Yeah I think I will do that, I have a box full of cables but I'm to lazy right now.

I needs to get ready for the new Legend of Zelda game by playing link to the past. Now I have a Wii but I don't really want to set it up.. I think I may have to go.

I need to get Monster Hunter on my 3ds, BLAH so many games so little money, it sucks sometimes when i'm all pent up in my house but I love my hobbies.

Your best bet would probably pick up a new 360 controller with the 'For Windows' designation. Another option would be to snatch up a Wireless Gaming Reciever for your controller, but based on the price of the linked device, I'd probably just grab the new controller for a few dollars more.

My personal preference is for the Logitech F710.
