    have been messing around with this for a few minutes - the nfo did mention that they recommending vcd / svcd playback with a replacement drive, ie:

    "We have also unlocked the VCD & SVCD capabilities but have not had chance to test correctly.
    We recommened using CDRW and with a different DVD ROM Unit (instructions to swap ROM on xbox-scene.com)"

    You can use either the FTP side of Evo-X or something like XBExplorer to see if the files are being enumerated but whenever I try VCD format disks neither are able to enumerate a file list using the built in XBox drive. I've tried a CDRW that usually works okay plus a few VCD silvers from Asia.

    It's possible that it just cannot handle the different sector size which is why they're not working on the built in drive.

    Anyone in here with a PC DVD-ROM drive fitted to their XBox that could confirm this?

    Cheers

    I have tried a VCD on CDRW media and it just gave the black screen. It must only work with a specific format (Probably something like NTSC-J only or some rubbish!)
