You have a PSP? I saw a news article on a cable you can buy to hook it up to your computer to use it as a second monitor. :) I didn't read it too in depth though. :(

The previous errors were confirmed by several DMDB users. The errors have been fixed. In the process, I found another error with uploading/saving misions as the D2X-XL type; this has also been fixed.

I just tried it out for about 5 minutes now and this is my initial impression: The interface updates have been made in the wrong direction. The new task bar at the bottom is very ugly and huge. Other subtle items, such as task bar popups and things are really designed poorly and look terrible.

All the forums I've visited have extremely limited instructions on how to get it working once the files are finally on the xbox. My questions are:

1. Where can I download it? All the forums I've been to talk about it, but have no download link.
2. Once it's downloaded, how do I get it on to my xbox?
