joebrady Wrote:Then why the need for the "lite" skin mods?There are two reasons for needing A lite version 1 because the the main textures in this skin are aimed for hd 1080 so therefore the textures are being downsampled as you allready know if skins were correctly written they would run far better without the need for them to be hacked to death to make them run, just look at pm3HD transparent / serenity / and minimeedia. My other point is you say xbox is limited i say rubbish how in hell do you think it managed to play games..... let me think....... oh yes it used the power of the graphics chip.
When the decision was made that a lot of the devs wanted to concentrate more on other platforms, a call was made to the community for anyone to step up and support the xbox. If it hadn't been for the one person who did have the willingness and experience to do it, we wouldn't have any support at all.
This thread needs to stay on topic. If there is something you really think is missing or broken on xbox, there are threads for suggesting features. And ANYONE can submitt patches or bug reports to Trac and/or do some testing if they wish.
And all rendering etc is done on the cpu under xbmc. if xbmc was written to utilise the graphics chip it would run aswell as a lot of pcs with intergrated chipsets. and so like many software writers your cutting chunks out of the corners that's why there the pc market is like it is my friends pc i s a pentium4 2.2 ghz processor with one gig of ram but hey xbmc will not run well on it Why because it will not use the resources of his graphics card. so again great software just poorly written and i am not trying to have a go i am just trying to make a point that if all software writers were to write code without cutting corners there would not be a need to keep upgradeing your machine so in 18 months time current pc's will not run xbmc because like most software it's bloated and ill written in my view. so wake up guys and enter the real world most people can't afford the latest cutting edge pc's to keep up with sloppyily written programs and skins. at rate your going we will soon all need 4ghz cpu's and at least 2gb of ram. Because xbmc on my pc uses 500MB Of ram XP Pro the os only uses about 50 mb even video encoding does not use that much.
Any way i am wasting my time as you clearly want nothing more to do with xbox but if you do not support your main userbase then you are surely doomed.
And just to be clear this is not me getting at arnova it's the rest of the team with there holier than thou attitude. well i should have realised this when i discovered that your registered in FRANCE.
And i really do hope people keep bugging you all for more support as they deserve better:p
Ps all loyal supporters who have contacted me directly i will be in touch in the next week or so via e-mail with the new link to all my updates.
Anyone else who want's either contact me or do your own developers need not bother as you failed to help me in the past i don't see why you should benefit
from my hard work.
Thanks guys
