Slashdot is reporting an "explosion" of emulators running under Yellow Dog Linux on the Sony Playstation 3.
What does that have to do with Bungie?
Because with Linux running on the PS3, you can install Aleph One on it and play Marathon.
Hello all,
What happend Bungie??!!! All the Hacking and Cheating in you Halo Series is unstopable. Are programs like Action-Reply, Mod Chips and Custom Editions all meant to be, with your permission? Are you just allowing all this crap to happen? I dont even know if you support these programs or despise them for ruining the story and all the hard work you put into these games to stop it from happining?
Play.tm reports that images of Halo 3 retail discs have been seen online. Of course, they're no good to owners of unmodified consoles, and modified consoles are of no use on Xbox Live, but still...
magnum76 on the Project Torlan-Nexus forum has posted an update on what is and is not acceptable to do in creating a Halo-themed mod, like theirs for Unreal Tournament; basically, it seems that extracting Halo content from PC Halo is okay, but extracting Halo 2 content from the Xbox is not. Keep in mind that the information comes from a supposed "Microsoft insider" and is not an official company statement.
Hack the web server that Microsoft makes, and win a Microsoft console-- that's the proposition of the HackIIS6.0 Challenge run by Roger Grimes. Check that site for details and read the HackIIS6.0 Challenge discussion at Slashdot. The catch? This time, they're going to install all the security patches.
James at HaloMods writes that the multiplayer version of Assault on the Control Room is now complete and released as version 1.3. MonoxideC is running a server for it as well, check HaloMods for the information.
VideoMannumbuh1 writes in the HBO forum that the Fortress Gulch mod, which places a huge wall in the middle of Blood Gulch (among other things) has been released.
HHHT has been updated to version 1.40, and fixes some bugs as well as adds some new features. Thanks BOLL. Go to Omnight.com to download the new version.
FlyingV over at Battleground: Halo has interviewed enterprising Halo modmaker MonoxideC, responsible for the multiplayer Library mod, among others. One of the tidbits he lets drop is the fact that his next mod, a multiplayer version of Assault on the Control Room, is almost done, and some screenshots may be forthcoming soon, as well as a tutorial on converting single player maps to multiplayer.
ok,im sure you all get this alot, bu thow the hell do you hack on the Xbox. I mean, u have a controler w/ less then 10 buttons. how the hell. lol.
Xhzjang has put out Halo No Hud mod v1.5 at HaloMods. It does two things; it takes away the HUD, and it makes the Banshee model invisible while you're in it. It's the perfect mod for making aerial screenshots. Thanks Louis Wu at HBO.
There's a thread in the HBO forum where mikeman445 pointed out a couple of tricks relating to weapon reloading in Halo; one that he was familiar with, the other he wasn't, but noticed in a tournament video featuring StK vs. TDT.
