Update About Upcoming Xecuter Products
>> From teamxecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
First of all Happy New Year to the Xbox Scene. Apologies for no real updates over the Holiday period but there was no one available to do anything as we were either too drunk, in locations with no net connection or celebrating with our families.
One accidental meeting of hilarious and unbelievably coincedental proportions happened on the Las Vegas strip outside the New York New York hotel on New Years Eve. One of Xecuter's core developers was happily bouncing along in a drunken state after hanging out with Mariah Carey at some VIP party at Ceasers Palace (I swear to god its true we've seen the pictures), who does he bump into - who also happened to be in an absolutley pissed drunk state we might add - but Andrew "Bunnie" Huang! After our guy recognized him and introduced himself the shock of the occasion was quite momentous and apparently hilarious - we've seen group pics of this too. Greets to Bunnie and Caustik - you guys rock :-)
A few things that we need to catch up on:
* X3 Logo Contest.
We should have picked a winner on December 20th but we didn't. No lies or excuses but we simply forgot. We were kindly reminded today so after a couple of "DOH's" and "Great Oden's Raven's!" we picked one.
We are happy to announce that "BooKahKee" is the winner (or for iriez: WINNAR) with "Zenith - Green". You can download / view the file by clicking HERE
Congratulations to BooKahKee - your X3 Control Panel will be on its way to you shortly. Please contact the admin at allxboxskins.com with your address and we will get it posted to you asap.
There were many many great entries (328 in all) and it wasn't an easy choice. If you wish to view all the entries please visit www.allxboxskins.com
* Regarding the X3 Control Panel the factory tells me that they have made a couple of adjustments to the mould so that the users who have bought the X3LCD seperatley can also buy a version of the X3CP without the LCD screen and easily install it themselves. We hope to be shipping out this month, a little over schedule but since when have we been on time with anything?
We should be rolling with the black / crystal and green versions all at the same time - we will have some photos of the latest version and also of factory production - just for those who scream vaporware every time we work on something new.
* We will also start shipping the green version of the X3 Pro Switch shortly - here is a picture for those that want a peak.
* The latest X3 Bios development is also under way again after our Christmas and New Years break. The main feature we told you about is 100% finished, we are tweaking some of the additional features as there is a small memory leak and also we are finishing the script of a filesystem format that wasn't quite working correctly before Christmas. We could release a version now but would rather wait until everything we wanted to add fully working is doing just that. It's coming so don't flip out on the forums ok ? Wink
* The latest X2 Bios should also be released around the same time.
* The X3CE has also started to ship to resellers. Basic differences are similar to the X2.6CE - a better connector of the alt 5v point as per requested by our users, a 90 degree angle IO socket for easier install / positioning of the No Solder X3LCD screen as per requested by our users (you ask, we apply), a different design flash protect switch now with LED to give a batter indication of flash protect status, better layout of the I/O solder positions / points and also the different colors that correspond with the current CE design (white front, red back). There is no functionaility difference to the original X3 - it is simply a couple of tweeks to the hardware layout - the original X3 (Purple PCB) will function exactley the same if you have bought one of those so don't worry if you have the opriginal version it's general functionality is the same. Here are some pictures:
More Pictures:
* Top view X3CE
* Back view X3CE
* X3CE installed with Xapt3r
* Flashprotection status-led on chip
* X3CE output compared to X3 output
All of the above is being actioned for January 2005. We will announce further products in development once everything above is running smoothly. We are happy to see others have picked up on some of our current work with pixel graphic displays, however we can assure you that our (NO SOLDER) version won't be as mind numbingly slow and a hell of a lot cheaper too.
On the 10th day after Christmas, Team Xecuter gave to me...... etc etc
