Aim
To make an epic gaming and media hub ftw. But also to make better use of the gaming, audio, video hardware and our new abundance of space!
Who?
What?
Xbox
Xbox hooked up to projector and amp Xbox Streams Audio from smb://lovelace/Music (should this change to babbage to save power??) The Xbox can scrobble to Last.fm Xbox Streams Video from smb://lovelace/Videos (ditto??) Xbox Streams Pictures from smb://lovelace/Pictures (ditto??) Xbox has ~20 xbox video games (ROMS) installed on the local HDD. Audio and Video can be streamed from the internet, connect to ip_addy:port.
PS2
-PS2 hooked up to projector and amp for gaming -Plays DVD movies = mini cinema.
Where?
-The old workshop / dirty room.
Why?
Need you ask!? Hmph.
How?
Connection Overview: Video
Connection Overview: Audio
Connection Overview: Power
Connection Overview: Ethernet
Roadmap:
- Add more consoles with time.
- Maybe get a Nintendo wii in?
- Xbox 360 (there is one in the space but it has a red ring when it is plugged in- guess that is only because it has no video cable, any help with a cable from anyone?)
- Get a bigger component (Vid=Yellow, Left=White, Right=Red) Video Splitter (e.g. 5 to 1) to help avoid unplugging.
- Encapsulate / protect the consoles a bit better to protect them from beer spillage and generally being knocked.
