Has anybody any ideas how it might be possible to get a PC screensaver to work on the Xbox?

The one screensaver in question is:

SereneScreen Aquarium
SereneScreen Aquarium (http://www.serenescreen.com/)

This would look cool on a 40" TV Screen with Dolby 5.1 :D

Your thoughts would b appricated :-

All the best

cos it would look great ;)

imagine having large mp3 collection playing whilst the screensaver of a FISHTANK sit playing away.

I didn't mean directly porting over just like that - i'm not a fool! it was just a question asking whether the directx coding is used in a similar fashion to that of the pc. For example like xbmp uses dll's etc. for codec's

bunch of boring farts!

My point on listening to music, was meaning doing something else apart from sitting at my computer, u know reading - chillin that sort thing.

Plus a 22" monitor has nothing on a 40" TV and a leather couch ^_^

Plus the fish tank SS was for background purposes, not to sit there and watch it 0.o
