Is it just me, or does any else think that Elisabeth Bourriague is a gifted genius?

p.s. I talked to the cat. _She_ took the remote.

Hello, I just recently did the safe upgrade to 1.1. Awkward Tv and Nito still worked. Now i finally got firefox working but Usb is not working. I did the Ktext loader from i think it was Nito, but it doesn't work.

Wondering if anyone has usb enabled on the safe update 1.1. and what ktext or process did you use.
if you got it to work, do experience any reboot issues. and is it a permanent fix meaning do you have to load the ktext terminal code every time.

I'm sooo close.... Firefox actually shows up... but i can't use it because no usb . Please help. Just reply here if possible.

Thanks

Nick D!!!

Also i noticed that there has been someone out there trying to enable the Xbox 360 HD player, to work with apple TV.... !!!! that is awesome !!! you rock!! Good luck!!

Is it possible to add the USB version of the IR Trans (http://www.irtrans.de/en/sh... to turn the Apple TV into the provider of your home automation remote controller. Be able to zap your TV, change input for sound, etc...

If you have the full OS X running on an AppleTV, wouldn't a simple bluetooth "dongle" enable the use of wireless bluetooth keyobards and mice?

Wii remote means you need bluetooth. Get that setup, then you can work on using the Wii.

Here's another way to patch your kernel (to enable USB): download/run "prelink_tool" (which patches your own kernel to enable this feature).

Here's a link: http://www.paulbart.net/App...

I hope that this utility can be used in the future for more hacks (not just the simple USB hack). This "prelink_tool" is a *generic* patching utility (with source code) that should open up more options as far as hacks/mods goes.
