It's been running fine and I've learnt to deal with it's <em>quirks</em> over time. A housemate picked up a PS3, which works a lot better with FUPPES by the looks of it. No crazy video screwiness. It also overcomes the virtual container issue the XBOX 360 has and also supports more codecs. As for the reason I'm not going to bother updating it, is that I've now moved out of that house and am constructing a new media centre out of an <a href="http://www.acer.co.uk/acer/productv.do?LanguageISOCtxParam=en&kcond61e.c2att101=68913&sp=page16e&ctx2.c2att1=17&link=ln438e&CountryISOCtxParam=UK&ctx1g.c2att92=242&ctx1.att21k=1&CRC=2669969291" rel="nofollow">Acer Aspire Revo</a> (which will act as my home server for projects and other things) and throw <a href="http://xbmc.org/skins/confluence/" rel="nofollow">XBMC</a> on there, which has been reported to run perfectly :) I haven’t updated FUPPES in a long time and probably won’t.

I was just wondering if you had more success lately. We are currently upto revision 661 so you man find that there have been some changes from 30 revisions ago.

I already sit/idle on irc.gtanet.com in a few channels. I would happily join another server and idle there as well if others preferred a different server :) - neil Heya,

I hope you don't think I've been puposely ignoring you or anyone else. I've never really got into blogs, forums or IRC, so it hard to start now, and get into the habbit. I've always been a facebook fan, have recently got into Twitter, and can always be found on my work IM. I'll make am effort to use the forum, but shit is so busy in the evenings it's difficult. In other news, what do you recon on chrome is? Hi jimbo, good blog post!

As for the failing to initialise, do you mean the game simply does not load at all? Make sure your game is fully patched as well as your copy of Windows (just to be on safe side). Also, if it does allow you to get to the title screen, check out your network options and check whether you have the correct network interface selected. These are the only suggestions I can give at the moment since I'm not near my desktop. I'll have a look at my install when I get a chance and post again.
