Team Xodus is proud to announce the release of Xenium OS 2.0.0.
Posted on Sunday, September 26 2004
The build is stable, a large number of the bug reports you have so vigilantly submitted have been fixed, and new features have now been fully implemented. With the complete integration of Webserver, FTP, SMB and USB interfaces, we have proven that we mean what we say and that we will continue to lead and to set the standard in this industry. Our objective, right from the onset, was to make the best, most functional, most efficient, most reliable, and most user friendly chip on the market, and we have done that! It is no surprise that we have been dubbed "The creators of the easiest Xbox modification.."
We are extremely happy that our decisions to take the risk of starting over from scratch and to make the bold move of developing our own fully legal OS have paid off. It has been a lot of work, but now that we have a firm and stable foundation in place to build upon, the OS will really begin to expand and grow. We are confident that our developments have created the pathway for a wealth of limitless possibilities. We are already working on some great new features for you!
On a side note, we recently did a count of the lines of code in our CVS repository for Xenium OS, and were surprised to find that the current count is over 1.35 million lines of code! As much as we would love to say we wrote all of that from scratch, much of it is library code. Regardless, this should show you how much technology and complexity we have put into this product.
We are sure you will like this release, and we always encourage suggestions and feedback.
Enjoy!
Team Xodus

Xbox 2 peripherals to be compatible with PCs!
Posted on Friday, September 24 2004
Microsoft's efforts to tie the Windows PC and Xbox platforms closer together have moved forward once more, with Windows Gaming boss Dean Lester revealing that Xbox 2 peripherals will work on PCs.
Speaking in an interview this week, Lester confirmed that "Xbox 2 peripherals will all work on PC," while the next version of Windows, currently codenamed Longhorn, will provide support for Xbox Live functionality.
The inclusion of Xbox Live functions in Windows isn't news - in fact, it was one of the first tangible benefits to be announced from the XNA programme, which aims to make cross-platform development across Microsoft's systems as easy as possible.
However, the cross-compatible controllers are new, and suggest that Xbox 2 will utilise the standardised joypad design which Lester and his team have been championing as a concept for Windows Gaming for some time.
The current generation Xbox peripherals use a "ruggedised" version of the USB standard to connect to the console, and third-party adapters have been made available which allow normal USB devices to be connected to the Xbox.
It seems likely, based on Lester's comments, that future Xbox peripherals will have the ability to plug directly into PC USB ports as well as into the more rugged ports on videogame consoles.
