Can You only put Linex on the Xbox?

When you softmod it, Is linez the only OS you can use or can you use windows? Or maybe OS9?

 

No, the only way to do that is with a chip. sorry

 

George, actually have windows xp on my xbox as an app, but it is in early development stages .

 

Keyboards aren't even supported. It's the ce .net windows xp os. You can run it as the main program for your box or install it as an application.

 

you can use keyboards,simply by cutting an xbox controller lead in half and a keyboard lead in half,join the right cables together and then format ur xbox the same way you would for an mp3 player.duh

 

and when it says linux its not an actual operating system its just an installer you would have to have a chip to have an actual operating system like that on it.plus the xbox hdd is way to small 2 turn into a p.c

 

I'm not saying you can't physically plug a keyboard into a xbox, but the windows ce .net 4.20 os doesn't yet support a keyboard. And you can fit it the os on your xbox it's only about 30mb. It's not actual windows xp but its windows on a xbox, you can install it as an app. And your xbox does't have to be chipped.

 

you can run windows 98se on the xbox

 

If your asking if you can put the entire windows 98 OS on your xbox and then expect it to run like a PC, then the answer is no.

 

O I have just seen pics of people having the little start menu and then using the controler. Wilson, how did you get your keyboard formatted to your xbox?

 

You can buy or make adaptors for keyboards. Where did you see the pictures.

 

Here's a picture of the windows ce .net OS on the xbox

 

O thank you. Thats what I saw. Is there any way to install a Wireless G hookup to my xbox instead of buying the $100 adapter from Microsoft?

 

I think you can find cheaper wireless gaming adapters than the one microsoft sells. You may be able to use a usb adapter, not sure though.

 

Or you could jsut buy a really long ethernet cable, like I use. It runs from my router on the 2nd floor to the basement lol.

 

it is a skimmed down win98se,I forgot to mention...there's a tool that does it for you.

 

Is it designed for use on the xbox. Is the OS files in xbox format.
