I have one on my Nintendo DS, and I'm pretty sure there's one for a psp too, so is there one for xbox? The reason I want this is, I want to watch netflix movies and play games (not fps, the lag would probably be too bad) on my tv, if there's no program for that, is there another way to do that? Other than connecting my pc directly to my tv, I would have to buy a new video card.
Thank You

Netflix will work with the xbox but playing PC games from the xbox wont work.
Just small games like the old DOS based games.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't want to play them from the xbox, my tv is right next to my pc, so I want to play with my keyboard and mouse but on a bigger screen. Kinda like win2ds for the nds, but I don't need to control it from the xbox.
And how would I get netflix to work?

Only the emus will let you use the keyboard and mouse and to run Netflix you need the Playon software.

Thank, I think you're misunderstanding what I want though, probably my fault for wording it wrong....I want to stream a video of what's on my pc screen to my xbox.
But I think I'm going to install linux on my xbox and use synergize to share the mouse and keyboard.(the xbox versions of linux can use the same software as pc versions, right?) Although it will probably be really slow, but w/e.
EDIT: I got xdsl running, but it seems that my controllers aren't being detected, is it possible that it's because they're wireless controllers? Is there any way to fix it? I'll borrow my friends controller next week to see if it works, but I want to keep my own controllers.

You can use XBMC to stream music from the PC to the xbox and it works like a charm bro, No real lag and if you got the xbox hd kit it can go up to 720.
You need an S-Video cable to hook your PC up to the tv and use the tv as your PC screen. Everything else will still be running through the PC, like keyboard and mouse. Your PC needs to have the capabilities to do this though. Does that help with your first question? _________________
