Playing burned music discs
Burn music onto a CD-RW (not a CD-R) disc, and close
the session when you burn the CD. Place it in your Xbox and rip
away.
Note: This also works with .MP3 files. The Xbox can store .MP3s
and replay them later and saves a lot of space when compared to
the .WAV files that are standard on audio discs.
Console name
Each Xbox console has a "name" assigned to
it at the time of manufacture. To view the name of your system,
play Halo link it to another Xbox and choose a linked play
party. The Xboxs will have names above their symbols in the pre-game
stat screen. To change your name, play challenge mode in Dead
Or Alive 3. Successfully complete challenge mode and you will
be prompted to enter a record name. Enter the name that you wish
to change your pre-assigned Xbox name to. This will now be the
title your Xbox is referred to during linked play. Note: Although
you cannot delete a name, you can change it again. Keep playing
a mode where you can enter a "nickname" in Dead Or
Alive 3 and get it to the top of the list.
To see your Xbox name easily, start Halo, go into multi-player
mode, choose "Split Screen", "Profile", and
"Location". After all that is done, there will be a
screen that reads "Waiting for more players". The picture
of the Xbox is directly above your profile name, and above your
picture will be a word. That word will be used as your name when
XBox goes online. This works best when there is only one controller
plugged into the Xbox, so the multi-player game will not start
before you see your name.
To change the name on your Xbox you can also use Cel Damage.
When you enter a valid cheat code in the game, it will also change
the name of your Xbox (for example, ENCHILADA!).
To change the name on your Xbox you can also use Moto GP.
Your Xbox will be renamed to the profile name used in that game.
To change the name on your Xbox you can also use Return To
Castle Wolfenstein. Create an Xbox Live! nickname (you do
not have to actually sign up or use it), and that entry will now
be your Xbox's name.
Progressive Scan Dashboard
Note: This requires the Tsunami Xbox Live! update,
a high definition monitor, and the High Definition AV pack. Enable
the 480p resolution option in the Xbox's video settings. Then
press [L] + [R] + click Left Analog-stick + click
Right Analog-stick to switch at the Dashboard to switch
to a progressive scan display.
Sub woofer warning
If you use a surround sound system, do not place your
Xbox next to your sub woofer. It can erase the internal hard drive
if there is no magnetic shielding around the sub woofer, as there
is no magnetic shielding on the Xbox's hard drive.
