|
 |
I can't believe I only just thought of this!!
Ok, here's my idea -- tell me I'm right or shoot me down in flames, please! Basically, the Xbox1 was a legendary machine for homebrew, both in dashboard content and applications -- and it seems some clever people have made DVDs of emulators (like xSNES9x, that runs OFF the DVD like any normal Xbox game) so what is stopping the 360 from loading *those* by using the 360's internal Xbox1 emulator??
So, onto the second part; I know Xbox1 ports have to be converted and burned as DVD9s to run on the 360 --- so how would I go about doing that? Again, for example, using my DVD of xSNES9x for the Xbox?
(I hope I'm making sense here, heh)

Makes sense to me and sounds like it may work. However if those emulators were tweaked to work for the Xbox1 hardware it may not accept the 360's very well..

I think you have to get some certification on the disc from Microsoft. Dont they usually tweak the originals to run it off the X360?

Have you considered Transcode 360 for streaming? Its a) free to use and b) Supports MKV/H264 playback.
As for the web browser, I didn't think anything official was ever really said. There was a link last december with a video of a browser but that turned out to be a fake made by some cock jockey. Personally, I think its pointless on a console purely as its not made for a) browsing and b) typing.
Last I heard, lots of the interest in homebrew had died for the 360. The fact you need signed code before anything runs kinda makes things difficult. Seemed to me, most parties have given up a little.

Oh, you might want to look at this for streaming as well. Looks pretty good but had no first hand experience of it (yet)
VME
and this is the best I've seen for a web browser of sorts.

I cant get the MKV and X264 to play with the XBMC...

Strange, my Xbox played them fine. 720 of course, not 1080 .. I think the poor Xbox would cough and die if it tried running 1080, hehehe
