I don't know which is best....
Hi all Over the last week or so i have been trying different way's to improve things for xbox,
and you may think this a bit rude of me posting in here since i have my own version on the forum but i want to share my findings.
All i did with my last skin was removed all none needed files like the previews. most of the icons and changed all background pictures with ones that were smaller in size ie in terms of KB and just reduced the bit rate to 24 and then resized by 25%.
On this pack which is about 15mb This is the whole skin, i achieved 34 - 35 mb free ram
I did the same as rocky originally by reducing the dimensions of all 300 files by 50%
and to be honest it not only looked crap even on a 4/3 tv but still only got 34mb free ram.
i assumed because they were so small it has to work harder at upscaling the pictures which of course uses more ram also switching your video output from 1080 down to 720 will save memory or why not just use 480 then everything will play?
I hope i have not offended you rocky as that is not my intention.
the bottom line is the best you will achieve is 35mb free no matter what ya do and that may not be enougth for all you large 720 or 1080 film fans in which case build yerself a htpc. thanks and have a good new year
