Got a stack of scanned comics and a television in the living room? xCbr reads .cbz comic archives on the original Xbox, so you can page through them from the sofa with the controller. A .cbz is just a zip of page images, and it's the only format xCbr understands.
Download:
xCbr 0.1.1
In the Browse Menu the D-pad moves up and down the list and Start opens the comic. While you're reading, the D-pad scrolls around the page, the right trigger turns to the next page, the left trigger goes back a page, and Back returns you to the Browse Menu.
Tip: if your comics are .cbr, repack the page images as a zip and name it .cbz first.
Download:
xCbr 0.1.1
- Copy the xCbr folder to the Xbox hard drive with FTP, for example to E:\Apps\xCbr.
- Make a folder called comics inside it and put your .cbz files there. There isn't one in the download.
- Start default.xbe from your dashboard (UnleashX, EvolutionX, Avalaunch or Xbox Media Center). The Browse Menu appears.
