You would think it would work, but in my case it didn't, everytime I
tried to switch to console 6 ti would just ignore my keystroke because I
hadn't completely setup X at the time, only enough of it had gotten
setup to attempt to load and loop.
Although Lenz's method sounds really nice, I never tried that so I
don't know for sure if it would have worked but sounds like it could
have.
