XboxMediaCenter - xboxmediacenter.com - has just updated its SourceForge CVS - and support for XLink Kai has been massively improved. Amongst other features, we have got voice working (using the excellent Avalaunch - teamavalaunch.com - port of SPEEX for the XBox). XBox <--> XBox and XBox <--> PC chatting works really nicely, and you can chat in "groups".

XBMC now supports private arenas, creating arenas, avatars, invites and lots of other KaiUI features. XBMC is also your friend if you intend to use a Linux-router like the WRT54G to run your Kai Engine - you could get a really nice setup, with XBMC and kaid - so no computer would be needed :) Look at these nice pictures, then read on:


I'd like to take a second to thank runtime from XBMC for his time over the last few days - this new XBMC *really* rocks when using Kai - but incase you didn't know, it's not bad at media either - :P - supporting just about every format of audio / video available! If you have a modified XBox, you *need* this application. Go to the usual places, and download it. It's rumoured that Bill himself uses XBMC ... fancy a bit of Team-Slayer, Bill? Lastly, I'd like a round of applause for ChokeManiac - critikill.net - for his awesome Project Mayhem II skin for XBMC - I think you'll all agree that it looks damn sweet.
