New Release: xISO xFER v0.5b
>> What's new/fixed:
[QUOTE]
Added:
Multilinguage support added! Due to public requests the multilanguage feature has now been added into xISO xFER v0.5b! To translate xISO xFER, download 'translate_me.ini' from http://limit.agent55.com/xFER and translate it. Change only the strings after the '=' sign in the file. Then mail it to limit_@gmx.net with a readme.txt that explains which language, your name/nick/email address and I will provide it for download at the page.
Bugs :
Users have reported that they are experiencing 'Out of memory errors' with different xISO's. This is due to the fact that the amount of RAM installed on the computer running xISO xFER is too small, or in other words, the files that are to be extracted are too big for the RAM to handle. This is usually solved by installing more RAM. This will be looked into and hopefully fixed, no one should be forced to buy more RAM to run xISO xFER. This will be corrected in v0.6b (hopefully).

Billg on Xbox 2
>> From TheRegister :
[QUOTE]
The next-generation Xbox (which many people speculate will be called "Xbox Next", based on recent domain name registrations by Microsoft) is a much more broadly-focused multimedia device than the current console, he says.
Some of this functionality could make it into the Xbox before a new console launch - several sources tell us that Microsoft is considering major upgrades to the Xbox Dashboard in the near future, including a possible integration of Internet Explorer and Windows Media into the console.
Next-gen features include "digital media capabilities such as video and photo editing" and "Internet capabilities without the need for direct connections through Wi-Fi," Billg says.
This makes the Xbox 2 sound very like, well, a PC - indeed, if the system combines Internet, video and photo-editing functionality with a games console, it may become an attractive alternative to PC ownership for a lot of families.

New Release: xISO xFER v0.3b
>> xISO xFER is another Xbox ISO image extractor.
The main feature with xISO xFER is that you can select your xISO (Xbox ISO) image and extract and transfer it 'on-the-fly' to your Xbox. It is thereby not necessary to extract the ISO prior to transferring it to your Xbox.
What's new/fixed:
* Removed the loading/saving of 'Game dir' setting.
Don't think this needs to be saved, just make sure you enter something there!
* Updated readme.txt to explain XBE renaming.
* File ID labels would display error if file was selected as xISO.
+ Due to public demand, the XBE renaming feature has been added. Just check the box and enter your new, desired name (this will be shown in the Evo-X menu) with a maximum of 40 characters.
