Playing Xbox 360 on a laptop

omegazero · 09-26-2007, 10:09 PM

I'm wondering how I can play XBOX 360 on my laptop. I know there's a way to do it, I just don't know how. Ideas?

Thanks for the help, in advance.

If you are talking about using an emulator, then just search around on a search engine. If you are not talking about an emulator, then I do not know.

XBox 360 -> USB TV Tuner -> Laptop?

not possible, you need a vga in and good luck finding that on a laptop

Sorry, i was vague. i meant finding a way to hook up a 360 to my laptop to play it, not an emulator.

Its not possible, as laptops have no VGA or RGB input, so the audio and video cant be sent to the laptop screen.

theoretically couldn't a tv tuner be used as the input?

Se my original post above, I have a USB Pinnacle HDTV Tuner, got it on sale for $80

how is the delay on it?

shouldn't be a lot of delay... so unless you're playing guitar hero it won't be noticeable.

If your notebook comes with a built in TV-Tuner, There shouldn't be any delay.. A Usb tv-tuner might have some delay but at the risk to quality loss, you could probably lower the resolution and fix that issue. But USB tv-tuners usually suck for the most part.

Say if I were to use this TV tuner from HP, do you think I'd be able to play games like Halo 3 and Bioshock without any problems?

Link doesn't work.

However, yensed makes a valid point, USB tuners will have a delay. PCMCIA (or integrated) will be the best options. You may also have to disable time-shifting if the software supports it.

I would definitely shop around if you want that exact tuner. Here is one on Ebay for MUCH cheaper... I personally don't have much any experiences using an Express card tv tuner, So I'm not an expert. But It looks like it should work well. Though I still wouldn't expect great quality. Out of curiosity, Why do you want to hook your 360 up to your notebook?

At the moment, I dont have a great tv for video gaming. But from the looks of it, I'm just gonna go out and buy one. I wasn't planning on buying the card from HP, I just threw that link up to reference the product.

Plus, I really don't want to spend a ton of cash on a maybe.

Thanks for the help tho.
