XBox Netplay Already

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the surprises-nobody dept.

ElectusUnum writes "Well, it's been a little while since the XBox was released and people are already playing online! The folks at xboxgw.com have written a program to create an ethernet bridge between xbox's over the net, fooling the xbox's into thinking they're on a LAN. 1v1 seems to create no major lag and reports have come in like this one that claim up to four xbox's work fine. It seems a DSL connection is preferred for hosting the server." I want an X-Box so bad, or as I would call it, a DOA3-Box.

    I like how the download is an RPM. That'll make Bill G happy. Besides, without him we couldn't have things like RPMs anyway.

    After this they just need to buy up bleem and release it so I can play my old PS games on the machine.

    What would be the legality of this? Any NALs want to comment? I know Bleem was found legal, but would it be different because of the direct competition between consoles? It certainly would be cool to play PSX games on Xbox. A PS(Linu)X-Box would be neat.
