Xbox 360 developer version

[mirandolla]

Is is possible to make a developer version of Xbox 360 from the common one?

yes you can already run your own program with the jtag exploit
all you need is notepad++ and gnu crosstools and some tutorials to set it up

I mean, is that possible to use some hardware mod to make from common Xbox 360 something like a developer version one (that is shipped to game development companies (is has something like a "tower" on top (with DVD EMU port), where a hard drive is placed in common Xbox 360)) and use Xbox SDK (not XNA) for development?

Hi,
You cant it has a diffrent Motherboard,if you flash a Devkit NAND Image to a Retail one it would brick.
I think if we could mod the img we could extract the ISO Loader and use it in the Retail one.
But that all is not as easy as it sounds

a dev nand is bigger than a retail one anyway (except for the jaspers of course)

But even with Jaspers (and then only arcade), the partition for the firmware and dash is only 16 MB.

Won't work (as far I know) for some reasons. The most important one being the way the CPU fuses are setup on both versions of consoles:

On a retail the first two fuselines are like this:

00: c0ffffffffffffff
01: 0f0f0f0f0f0f0ff0

On a devkit it will be like this:

00: c0ffffffffffffff
01: 0f0f0f0f0f0f0f0f  <- this

So a devkit CB will read the fuselines then will dislike it and stop running.

Maybe one day if a rebooter happens this would be possible. But still would be something very illegal to do.

but xdk gives you limitation, why do you wan't that? you cant make self-modifying code :3
xbox360 means power, not a toy for little girls to play videogames, need to exploit the power dear odin gave us in this console to the fullest!!!
