stuCONNERS Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Is it possible for xlink Kai to be brought back as a stand alone program? I've seen now that xlink Kai can be run on a raspberry pi, so a pc doesn't need to be switched on anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) It is still available for Windows, MacOS (x86), Linux x86 - no GUI and Raspberry Pi & other ARM-based SBCs.

KaosEngineer Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) The Xbox can only run 1 app at a time is what I hear. You can't have the tunneling app sending data to the Kai orbital servers and run the game at the same time. The old release of XBMC that supported XLink Kai only performed the GUI portion to set up the arena connection through the Kai engine. XBMC still required another computer be it PC/MAC or now Raspberry PI or other SBC that runs the XLink Kai Engine to forward the system link packets to the orbital servers. The orbital servers send and receive packets from the engine computers of all the consoles in the selected arena to play the System Link game.

stuCONNERS Posted February 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I know. Your telling me everything that I k ow already. I'm asking if John could release the xlink Kai part of xbmc seperate. So it still does the setting up and launching the xbe. I know if still need to run the engine. Breaking the kai xlink part into a seperate xbe opens it up as not everyone use xbmc as their dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
