LinksBoks 0.91 - lemmiwinks edition
Date: Friday, March 26 @ 01:01:06 UTC
Topic: Xbox Homebrew
A new version of Linksboks has now been released. Linksboks is a stand alone web browser for use on the Xbox, meaning you can run it just like any other Xbox program. New in this release:
- You asked for it: USB keyboard/mouse support (see notes below) Done without the hardware :) Thanks to sebel19 from the gueux forums for testing this out.
- Downloads to disk are now working! The default download directory is X:, it can be changed, check the Options manager. D: is mapped to the LinksBoks directory, not the DVD.
- HDTV should work now (still untested though)
- Added some options to the Options manager: look in "User interface"
- Video calibration screen (Options]Video calibration) to adjust your margins easily. Don't forget to save your options afterwards!
- Options can now be saved :). Delete your existing links.cfg & options files.
- Fixed the scrolling glitch in the tree-based dialogs.
- Changed some mappings in Navigation Mode (B=ESC on keyboard, Y=close current tab/cancel dialog/exit)
- Clicking left thumbstick changes input mode as well as BACK
- D-pad has a (configurable) repeat rate now.
KNOWN BUGS/RELEASE NOTES for this version:
- ftp:, file: protocols are still broken. Expect the 'LINKSBOKS CRASHED!' screens you've seen before.
- About the keyboard: only the US layout is supported. Supporting other layouts implies doing the key [-] ascii code mappings by hand, and I'll _never_ do this myself, sorry.
- Extra buttons on Intellimouses should normally do back/forward.
- It seems the Javascript engine would be a pain in the ass to reenable, so it might stay off :/. It's rather weak anyway, you would be disappointed.
- Flash/Java support is basically not possible, so stop asking please :).
