Heya man, Just got back from the holidays. Didn't have an Xbox around Christmas. Let me know when you put it back up and I'll be sure to review it. :)

The most mind boggling part is the plugs in the back, to think these can be swapped, is kind of staggering with just she sheer amount of options available.

That game you have there is really amazing Eric, but I have no idea how to test it, I'll have to continue messing with it to give it a proper review. (I might become a musician by the time I figure out how to give it a pass).The most mind boggling part is the plugs in the back, to think these can be swapped, is kind of staggering with just she sheer amount of options available.

I'm about to give yours a shot so I'll post my review in the app hub forum in a bit.
Cheers,

Thanks for the compliments :) As for testing, probably a good start is to just discover what you can and do the evil checklist. I'm happy to answer any questions too, I'm usually logged into the EFNet IRC #XNA channel. I wish I had time for a proper tutorial in there but that just never made the cut unfortunately.I'm about to give yours a shot so I'll post my review in the app hub forum in a bit.

I went to start up XNA on the xbox and it says "a xbox 360 hard drive is required". I just bought a 4GB Kinect Combo xbox and gave my old xbox to my sister :| Does anyone know if I can use any external hard drive for xna to work or does it specifically have to be a xbox 360 brand? Looks like I have to spend more money UGGG! Sorry Will.

What sort of issues are you running into? We converted Pissed! Fish over to 4.0 and didn't have much issue with the farseer stuff.

Hey Will, I saw your post on the XNA forum and you said Quote:If I don't pass in the next 7 hours, I'll pull out, so I can have the best possible 3.1, 4.0 port is insane with this farseer code, it doesn't run on 4.0, and it will take a long time to figure out why. This game is on 4.0, but it acts way differently, I'd rather not go to 4.0 if I can avoid it.

I'm not sure what it is. If its a physics setting, or if its related to the performance hit everyone is talking about.
I pulled out... it was horrible.. but I found a bug this morning just randomly via a twitter, and it was identified immediately as something we had to address.

If there are specific settings you'd like to know what we're setting them to we'd be happy to share!

Well... I think the frame rate issue is an issue it dropped from 85, to 50 in 4.0... so I might start there.
