*hopes this doesn't get locked
I got really bored the past few days and decided to toss together a little website to help all the xbox modding newbies out there
I have detailed guides and pics (and maybe movies later on?), check it out:
http://www3.telus.net/shocwave/smx/
The site does not contain illigal downloads of any sort, just information. |

I have a few suggestions and questions.
First of all you should definatly post this in the tutorial section of xbox-scene.
Second this text confuses me:
Quote: | StepManiaX is a xbox port of the popular Dance Dance Revolution simulator called... StepMania
It was ported by a guy that calls himself Xport on April 28, 2003 for all the xbox owners longing to play a DDR game.
Since then, the creators for the original StepMania have begun working on their own offical xbox port of StepMania, and thanks to the world of open-source-ness, Xport is able to bring us a almost exact port of the pc version. |
I have been a little bit worried that Xport isn't too much into stepmania anymore, does this mean that the Stepmania team is taking over the port completely, or working with xport?
You say
Quote: | If you want to change the controls, you will need a "USB Adapter" and USB keyboard, or else you cannot do anything in the key config menu. |
But you can of course edit the keymaps.ini. Also it can be modified to work in solo mode as is said in this thread. http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?act=ST&f=17&t=132398&s=407fc8f8c04a1b0c687b7f4f6c5cb1d9 Might want to add that
Might be a good idea to say that movies do not work. I had to delete all the .avi files from songs or Stepmania would freeze on those songs.
Anyway good job on the site, should help alot of people. |

Even if the the StepMania team is porting their program to xbox, it doesn't mean that they'll release it anytime soon (legal reasons). So xport would probably do a few more ports until StepMania can be compiled without xdk.
Thanks for the heads up about the keymaps though :)
I'll update it later. |

You don't "have to". But if you want to keep using xbox live, then it's a must.
Either way, you have to open the box up
There are "no solder" mods that u can just screw on to the board though
EDIT:
I updated the website with more info and downloadable Key config files for people without a usb keyboard adapter. |

Well, you can't play sm off the disk because of the way it caches the songs when u load it up (yet).
As for paying for simfiles, that's kinda illigal.
Besides, it's not that hard find and download simfiles.
My site tells you "how" to get stuff instead of allowing you to download them directly, to avoid legal issues.
And I have pretty detailed step-by-step instructions on how to set it up, even if u have no idea what you're doing.
Check it out _________________
