Browsing the internet on your Xbox 360 ::WORKS::

Through its Media Center Extender fucntionality, the Xbox 360 acts as dumb terminal to your Windows Media Center 2005 PC.

Aside from streaming video, it can also run additional programs and plugins, found in the "More Programs" heading on the Media Center main menu. Note that none of these programs are running directly on the Xbox- they are all running in some form on your PC. However, we can exploit this feature to run additional software(like web browsing) on the Xbox 360. Currently, there is no way to have mouse support using the 360 controller (Cheap Wireless Controller) or media remote- however, the controller (Cheap Wireless Controller) can be used as a keyboard.

To add an entry to the "More Programs" listing that will show up in Media Center on your Xbox:


1. Go to the directory C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Media Center\Media Center Programs
2. Create a new text file with the name of the program you want to run(For example Browser.txt)
3. Put the following line in your file:

<application url="url_here" name="name_here" />

If you want to do web browsing on your Xbox 360, you can simply enter a URL. To open a program, enter its exact path. For example:

<application url="http://www.google.com" name="Google" />

4. Change your file's extension from .txt to .mcl .

In Media Center on your 360, go to More Programs and select the file you just made.

Enjoy web browsing on your 360! Or try to see what other programs from your PC it will run.

This is great. I knew something like this was around, but it's good to know the specifics. Nice post.

some guy on battlefield 2 told me there was a program that could do this, but without MCE.

[digitalhigh]

I don't think so. Unless you're using Vista or MCE you can't run progs from your xbox. There is a program that claims to have full MCE functionality, but when you read the fine print, you see that it still requires MC to work. I'd love to see somebody actually make a full MCE replacement tho. All in good time.

That would be awsome if you could though! Could you come here and browse the forums? How do you move the Mouse Icon? Can you click links? How?
Stickied!

THANKS!
