A new controller for the Xbox 360? June 21, 2006
Posted by 360lounge in Accessories.add a comment
Gamepro just informed us about a new 360 remote they were able to beta test. The new remote is said to have far more advanced sensitivity, especially in the rumble pack.
[quote]
- A lightsaber effect that caused the entire controller to quiver subtly, then pulse realistically when the lightsaber was deactivated
- A heavy recoil effect when firing a rocket launcher, with the feedback trailing off as the rocket propelled into the distance
- Rapid-fire vibrations from a machine gun; each individual jolt seemed to be synched directly to the gun's firing rate
- A subtler "weapon switching" effect that gave you a hint about your next weapon; heavy guns produced a strong jolt, while small guns gave lighter one

Use Custom Soundtracks on all Xbox Games June 14, 2006
Posted by 360lounge in Hardware.add a comment
An internet blogger has discovered that by way of the recent Xbox 360 Spring Update, we can now use custom soundtracks on Xbox games that did not previously support them.
Undead Logic even included an instructional video which can you view below, otherwise just follow these steps and you should be listening to custom sounds while playing Halo 2 (or other previously unsupported games) in no time!
- Go to your music player in your dashboard before you boot up your Xbox 1 game (I.E. Halo 2)
- Choose where to play your music, may it be your MP3 player, computer network on the Xbox 360 itself.
- Start playing your music, get it at a moderate volume and make note of what level you leave it at (You won’t be able to change this once you’re in your Xbox 1 game unless you exit it.)
- Put in your Xbox 360 game, hit B to back out of the menu and then the game will start.
- Your game boots up, but your custom soundtrack doesn’t turn off! Sweet!
