I dunno, it just looks like a really potato picture.
which is why it feels fake, you don't own a thousand+ dollar dev kit and have a stuffty camera at the same time in 2017.
Absolutely not. There is fundamentally no difference between this and the other type of original Xbox dev-kit, outside of the body shell and the fact that there's hundreds of screeching handicaps who think a dev-kit is worth anything without the actual KIT part (the Certification Documents and the SDK).
the thing is, i'm talking about the appearance in something potentially much more valuable.
there ARE kits designed for developing xbox software updates and, considering the windows 2000 fiasco from mainsoft that same set of idiots possibly got the xbox internal source code to potentially develop xbox live. with their poor handling of the windows 2000 source code, it's entirely possible they threw xbox software "devkits" out in the wild carelessly and since nobody knows what it looks like (hint: probably not the later designs and possibly not just the guts alone) the possibility of there being some source code from some lazy dev on the harddrive is extremely slim, but there.
obviously there are red flags like the xbox dashboard source code not getting leaked with windows 2000.
THERE'S. NO. FILES. ON. A. DEV. KIT.
Finding magic numbers is a VERY long shot from finding the kind of information needed to make a reliable emulator. The "encryption keys" are a very tiny part of what was necessary to make FreeMCBoot work. They made the process easier, but it wasn't like it was out of the realm of possibility without them.
This is the biggest pile of stuff I've ever heard of in my entire life.
alright to answer that no files argument yet again.
the south park prototype on the xbox. just so happened to be on the xbox dev kit and clearly are files. the possibility IS there. it HAS been proven.
yeah no stuff on the paragraph. except for calling encryption keys a very tiny part.
it was basically the sole reason freemcboot even worked, obviously it wasn't the only thing that people had to do but it was the key to remove what was thought to be an invincible roosterblock from both the ps2 and earlier ps3 firmwares. it made stuff like freemcboot and ps3 CFW even possible, again, it isn't the only thing people had to bullstuff through, that just removed the great wall, it didn't remove the fact that people had to make it all work, the hardest part was finished though.
and yes it was possible without them, but the keys expedited the process immensely.
No. I don't own them, and they're under heavy NDA.
If you get jobs with Ubisoft, the company I'm currently working for or my college, I'll happily show you were we keep the developer kits.
like you said, NDA bullstuff.
this is probably why you think that there couldn't possibly be any files on a devkit. there has been in the past, but due to the intensity of the NDA's being increased to the point where they're giving companies themselves immense penalties and the internet/faster file transfers being a huge thing now that's probably why they don't want to take the chance and never put a single file on the actual drive or if so, very shortly lived and thoroughly purged.
back then certainly wasn't the case as was proven by the south park prototype.
Who the forget is going to want some 17 year old PC which is incapable of doing anything?
You're missing the point that there is NO value in this device whatsoever.
there is NO value in a signed baseball
...oh wait, collectors value.
