PC Engine History / The Beginning
On the 10th October 1987 the Japanese electronics giant NEC launched a powerful video games system which they named the PC Engine HE System. It was the centre (or engine) of a much larger entertainment system incorporating keyboard, disc drive and a printer. However, in the 1st few months the system did not appear to be very popular. NEC shelved the idea of making the machine the centre of a home entertainment system and concentrated their time and resources in marketing the machine as a games only system.

Still, it took time for the new machine to be widely accepted in Japan. The Nintendo Entertainment System was still the market leader with 3 in 5 Japanese homes owning one.

It was not until game companies such as Hudson Soft and Irem started to produce quality software that the Japanese public started to take notice. Games such as Chan & Chan and Dragon Spirit were now being produced. In particular it was a game called R-Type which started the now tremendous popularity of the system. From the beginning of 1988 the PC Engine became the second most popular games system in Japan.

A year later NEC released the CD Rom drive. From this point the popularity of the system was assured with many other software companies such as Namco and Taito producing games on both card and CD format.

 Modified Avalaunch Disc Boots XBMC on Homebrew 360
Modified Avalaunch Disc Boots XBMC on Homebrew 360
Published by: forahobby on Sunday, March 14, 2010
Tagged: Hardware, Homebrew, Media Center, Xbox 360,


Looks like farmboynick has figured out how to boot Xbox Media Center (XBMC - Xbox 1) on homebrew Xbox 360 by patching Avalaunch with a halo title id.

I have just launched XBMC [for Xbox1] on my Xbox360, it was so simple ... I patched Avalaunch to boot from disk [with a halo title id] and put a XBMC folder on the disk. After Avalaunch booted I went to file manager and copied the XBMC folder to the E-drive, then simply clicked the XBMC XBE file and it worked.


So far I have been able to launch all XBMC versions that I have tried and can also launch surreal64 and some xbox1 games in file form from HDD. All from selecting the XBE in the Avalaunch file manager

Some versions of XBMC can run picture files, some can run music files, so far I can't get AVI movies to play or gain network access.

FreeStyle Dash 2010-03-02 OpenSource
Published by: forahobby on Wednesday, March 03, 2010
Tagged: Homebrew, Xbox 360,


JQE has compiled and released a new version of FreeStyle Dash. FreeStyle Dash is a homebrew dashboard for the xbox 360.

Notable new features:
  • GoD launches from Game menu (not arcade) with full cover and screenshot support
  • Parental Controls.
  • Configurable Temp, Disk Space, and IP Address on the main screen.
The files are downloadable from the google code site.




Again any developers want to add just send me a message and i will be happy to add people.

I will do my best to co-ordinate changes and add things to the SVN.

The big thing is FTP needs to be worked on, and sadly i don't know much about the FTP configs... I am not a coder as a first career, it's more of a hobby for me.

 Dash Launch v0.01 - Dashboard to boot homebrew
Dash Launch v0.01 - Dashboard to boot homebrew
Published by: forahobby on Monday, March 01, 2010
Tagged: Homebrew, Xbox 360,


Dash Launch v0.01 has just been released by Team XeDev which will let you boot homebrew software directly from the dashboard.

What It Does:
waits for bootanim to finish, then launches a con (you don't see NXE dash)
currently launch.xex is built to launch xexmenu con at
Hdd:Content�000000000000000C0DE9999�0080000C0DE99990F586558

Install:
-put launch.xex in the root of your hard drive's content partition
-add the included patches to freeboot/xbr patchset (there is a bonus in there for those who don't have it)

xex source is included, in it's current form it does the minimal amount of work to launch the con if it's not present it should fail to dash with "could not load" error message
