Hey all,

i recently purchased the Microsoft Wireless reciever for windows (Vista), and its really good, specifically on kane and lynch. However i remember seeing a video somewhere of someone controlling there vista desktop, moving mouse up, down etc using nothing more than the wireless 360 controller, does anyone know how this is done, i tried using a program called XPadder or something like that and i could not get it to work. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Ste
 
Well my pc is my Media centre aswell, but i dont have the media centre remote. I Watch movies at a distance from the pc so the 360 controller would service for basic changing movies, tv shows etc.
 
If you have a 360 it can connect to a vista media centre. Not sure about an xp media centre.

Transcoder360 (transcoder360.co.uk) will let you playback any movie on the xbox360 too.
 
I have seen it used to demonstrate the downloadable version of maps.live.com
and rather cool on a UK Army advert the other day for UAVs.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
