xbox substitute as a divx player?

[yangus]

hey i was wondering is it possible to play divx on a xbox? call me crazy but isn't it possible to mess with the win2k os it's loaded with and make it compatible with divx? if it is possible, i hope somebody has or is working on a workaround 'cause it would really promp me to buy a xbox!! since it comes with dolby suround sound, fast processor, and is portible, it would be a perfect divx player! on a related note, isn't it possible to play divx on a dreamcast also? since it runs windows ce and there's a divx versoin for pocket pc, isn't it possible to play divx then? ahhhhh!!! if it is possible then i'm gonna go get one since it's only $50!

Not yet, but we are working very hard on it.

The hard drive is password protected.
All exe's and xbe's must be digitally signed, (grief) requires flashing rom to bypass.

We figure the first exe to run will be the linux kernel and we will move from there.

my bad.

No, I am not running a thing.

The box is far more protected then we hoped.

I will let the pros do the works. I am just like you. I am in some of the convos, but that is about it. I must give credit where it is due.

Could you give us some links or point us to some places where we can become up to date on this project? I would buy an xbox if it could play divx movies.

Secret and keyed chat room. :)

Dis-assembly convos. Pretty boring, but to the heart of the matter.
