XBOX-HQ.COM - MC360 0.99b for XBMC 2.0.0 - Full 16:9 and Tentative HD Support

Team BlackBolt posted some details about the latest version of their MC360 skin for XboxMediaCenter (this skin build is already included in fridays T3CH 'fat' release):

After a long long time, Xbox Media Center finally gets that all important update to version 2.0.0. On Friday night with the point release of the 2.0.0 build of XBMC, Team Blackbolt released a new updated version of MC360, version 0.99b packaged in with the T3CH full 'fat' release. This was the first time that our Widescreen conversion had been seen by public eyes. The entire Widescreen conversion was, and still is headed by our good man, Jezz_X. He has spent ungodly hours these past months painstakingly reworking our XML code for widescreen televisions. He has also gotten through alot of the work needed to bring MC360 to Hi-Def. With the 0.99b build you can see the beginnings of what will ultimately be the best version of the skin possible. When the final 1.0 build of MC360 is released, you will see higher resolution textures optimized for HD screens as well as better font optimization and all the other great features MC360 has. Visit our download section to get the UPDATED 0.99b build, which includes some small font fixes for HD compared with the T3CH released one.

Apart from all the small bug fixes which we still work through, there are two major elements of production that need to be completed before we do finally release our 1.0 build. These are true Hi-Def support and the XBMC Live Place, which is our own version of the Xbox Live Marketplace found on the Xbox 360. Because most of Team Blackbolt work in different timezones, the production is not lightening quick, but we all sacrifice lots of our spare time to bring you this amazing skin for free, so if you would like to say thanks, you can donate to us, using the paypal button just below. We truly thank the community for helping us with ideas and bug fixes these past months.
