amnesiac_3 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Can anyone confirm how many players you can have on an Xbox, both for system link and Live? ← In answer to my own question: Those wanting to have a LAN party will have to bring eight Xboxes for eight player racing; there’s no doubling up on Xboxes when using System Link.

dan_tm Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Wasn't it Forza that was going to support 3 Xbox's running 3 copies of the game on 3 different screens to give you a front, left and right view while driving? Or was that TOCA2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(note the damage to the bonnet... oops!) ← Nice B) Is that some square stretching for the writing there I see? Off to download that app... Also I have just been platying with manual shifting. LOVELY! I feel much more in control!!! Also it works beautifully with shifting on the right thunbstick! Fucking love this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Kudos on the writing on the side of the car. I'm grabbing the Screenshot app now... The Xbox-Sky thread it says you can't take pics of Halo/Halo 2 for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceyjase Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I just took some photos and sega_kid ups the stakes Here they are anyway... I don't have many cars, they're all fairly well kitted out, I'm still at level 20 2x combo. Is the "fastest" car in my garage, nice handling too... ...In race replay... ...in game view... ...nice draw distance, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I hit capture and nothing happens or goes into the folder I've designated. Do you boot debug mode on the xbox then go to your game or something?

spaceyjase Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 You need a debug bios, I think. I don't have one either so we're stuck with teh camera phones! edit: There is another app there, you need to run that first? I dunno, I can't download register/download.

camps Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 the app installs the debug bios onto your xbox - still tryna suss out how to grab screens though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 It's fooked up my Soundtracks anyway, nothing appears now so I have to choose Forza tracks!!! ahhh! I think I'll just remove everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceyjase Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 the app installs the debug bios onto your xbox - still tryna suss out how to grab screens though ← Ahh, I can only go off what Google results say; there is an app that does the same thing, opens up a port and grabs the screen buffer for some dumpage. xig2 (running on your PC) grabs said dump and away you go, aye? I can't register on that site though, that stupid public IP error. I fucking hate that bollocks; I know, let's hide all this crap so nobody can share unless registered, restricting "poor" torrents further... *cough* somebody fancy hosting it, PM'ing me an alternative link? *cough* John?

Im quite pleased, not neccesarily with the first results, but it has proved to me it can be easily done. There is gonna be a lot of pimping on Live, cant wait to see what some people have!

Distinct muttering Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I thought you couldn't do text? ← You cant directly, as in you are not given text letters to simply place on your car. But you have lots of shapes given, which can be manipulated a lot through resizing, moving, turning, stetching etc. Basically a bit of imagination and it is limitless. That GT 4 is ace by the way B) How long did that take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
