Xbox
Back in 2002 I got my very first and own gaming console, and it was the original Xbox.This sparked both a true gaming experience aswell as an intrest in how this machine works and how games are made in general.
To document my discoveries and finds, please look arround. Id also like to share things others may have found or made and link to those.Some files or information might have a different copyright then the website or documents ive made and shared. Keep those in mind.
Xbox library and Kernel version data
After discovering how xbox libraries work, I found the Kernel and Dashboard version mentioned inside the original Microsoft dashboard, correspond to the Libraries compiled inside these xbe files and kernel (in the bios). Any, check it out here: https://www.codeasm.com/xbox/Kernel_Dash_versions.htm
Might need to add, the kernel from the bios can be patched/upgraded by the running software (by means of the kernel library) hence, updating the main dash, might bumb the kernel number, without flashing the rom.
Xbox live user accounts
I have dumped 2 xbox live accounts and this has been helpfull for feudalnate to create a wonderfull tool so now you too can create live accounts that would have worked on the original xbox live, find the tool and sources here:feudalnate’s Github: Original-Xbox-LIVE-Account
The 2 accounts can be had from here: codeasm.com/xbox/live/accounts the test.xbla account has been made using feudalnate tool, the other two where original dumps.
Try Xbox live on your original xbox
The above accounts where originally used on the Microsofts Live servers, and will not work for the following cool thing:insignia.live/ is a recreation of the Xbox live services, reimplemented by non other then Luke Usher himself (a British guy who also wrote Cxbx-reloaded and other things, hes cool) Its free forever.
Youll have to register on their website, get it working on your xbox and specific for their services a live account will be made. technically the used keys have changed as we ofcourse dont have microsofts secret keys to allow our original accounts to signin. but you can use your nickname as original when registering
