Halo 3 matchmaking playlists updated

Halo 3 matchmaking playlists updated
Published by: hq_hacker_girl on Thursday, November 15, 2007
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

As proof that Bungie never fails to mix things up for Spartans online, matchmaking playlist changes for Halo 3 on the Microsoft Xbox 360 are now live. Gone is the exploitable Social Doubles, as Rocket Race Hopper enters the list of available game modes. Other changes should improve your chances of getting desirable matches, like the reduced frequency of VIP gametypes in Multi-team and the appearance of Swords in Lone Wolves.

Xbox Originals Imperfect on 360

Xbox Originals Imperfect on 360
Published by: wes213 on Wednesday, November 14, 2007
Tagged: Gaming, Live Marketplace, Xbox 360,

Original Xbox titles downloaded via Xbox Live for use on Xbox 360s will run imperfectly, says Microsoft.

On Tuesday the platform holder announced that its forthcoming fall dashboard update will enable Xbox 360 owners to download original Xbox titles such as Halo, Fable, Crash Bandicoot and Burnout 3 via Xbox Live Marketplace. However, the company has since posted a list of known issues affecting the performance of the classic games on its latest hardware.

“… Any additional content within a game (such as a demo or trailer) is not supported by Xbox Originals titles and selecting those options may result in crashing the game (requiring a restart of the console).”

Halo suffers from “some very mild frame rate drops”, while in Fable “there are some random bursts of audio static and some minor texture issues”.

A complete run-down of known issues can be found on Xbox.com.

Fresh WiiWare Details Emerge?

Fresh WiiWare Details Emerge?
Published by: wes213 on Wednesday, November 14, 2007
Tagged: Gaming,

A new report claims Nintendo will enforce a cap on game sizes and title releases for its forthcoming WiiWare service. The report also covers details of the financial models supposedly being applied to the service.

Set to launch in 2008, the WiiWare download service will offer short, creative titles, much like those found on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. It will allow both established developers and independent developers with small budgets the chance to bring their original games to market.

IGN reports on its latest Wii-k in Review podcast that developers have two options for getting their titles on the service. One option is to approach Nintendo directly with a game pitch, and if the platform holder likes the idea it will effectively agree to become the game’s second-hand publisher. Alternatively, developers can go through third party publishers who are likely to demand a large portion of the game’s future profits in return for cash up front. Interestingly, if a developer goes straight through Nintendo, IGN says they will receive a 65 percent share of the profit any game makes, with Nintendo taking the remaining 35 percent. Nintendo will also reportedly allow developers to dictate the selling price of their own games.

Only officially licensed Nintendo developers with Wii development kits will be able to utilize the service. Having spoken to numerous developers, IGN says the average development budget per WiiWare title is under $100,000.

The platform holder is said to be “actively discouraging” larger games, and is reportedly enforcing a 40MB size limit on titles, while developers will only be allowed to release one WiiWare game per month so as not to flood the market.

Titles slated to launch when the service goes live next year include Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Little King and the Promised Country, Dr Mario and Pokemon Ranch Channel.

New AID-SID-PSPID Bit Torrent Online

New AID-SID-PSPID Bit Torrent Online
Published by: DJB on Wednesday, November 14, 2007
Tagged: Homebrew, Xbox 360,

After many hours of hard work from Forahobby and myself (DJB), there is now an official Bit Torrent Tracker for all the Installer Deluxe programs.

As some of you know, one of the worlds biggest Torrent Tracking sites, Demonoid, was taken down recently. Unfortunately, that was where I was hosting all the torrents.

It's early days with the torrents, and we are in desperate need of seeders. So, if you have previously downlaoded any of the programs on this tracker, could you please show your support and do the following:

1) Delete the torrent currently in use for AID/SID/PSPID
2) Download the new Torrent from the AID Tracker
3) Once the torrent is loaded into your client (and it generates the files), copy the files you downloaded earlier to this location overwriting the freshly created ones.
4) You should be ready to go...
