lcd screen on an xbox

[Phoenic]

Hey, on the X3 control panel, instead of having the lcd screen display the status of the chip, is there a way to make it display messages like, "Hello, this is my xbox", "My sister is stupid. Hahahahahahaha. No really, she is...", and other things?


If not, anyone want to show me how to program a microcontroller to make my own lcd screen display the messages.

Anyone?

Actually, anyone have a tutorial to make it happen. I know that you need a micro controller and an lcd screen, but how do you you program the control and hook it up to the lcd screen...

Well when you turn on your XBOX you can make the BIOS display a message 19 characters long?

I've wondered about this sort of thing as well - and was thinking about toying with a Basic Stamp kit to do some of this ...
Act as a "buffer" between the X3 and the LCD.
- if X3 turned ON, then display info from X3 (and other apps such as XBMC).
- if X3 turned OFF, then show the current time and/or custom messsage.

That would be cool

If the LCD output on the X3 follows any industry standard, it would
be possible to interface to any display module. The larger LCD hi-res
and LED banner displays would be the best. Most of the newer displays
use standard controller chips with there own programming commands. The
are programed from a simple serial port.

It would be a great place to send your RSS feeds and Playlist information
to.

Would need detailed information on the LCD output interface on the X3.
