Didn`t notice if anyone had seen this, I know it has finished but the manuals looked interesting

I saw it manuels looked interesting but it looked like a hodge posge of stuff for the cost. Especially since xbox development moved to studio net in the end. Studio 6 was used on the alpha boxes before the debug or dev boxes became availible.

 

Also used for the DVT3s

 

Compiling on DVT-3 was supposed to be done with Visual Studio .net Beta 2 but you could get away with VS 6.

Nothing like compiling your source code with a beta compiler on prototype Microsoft hardware... and people wonder why there are so few DVT-3's around these days...

 

Wonder? Anyone who's ever tossed a controller need not wonder.

Hell, that's one of the main reasons why wired controllers still have a place in the world. They don't run the risk of breaking stuff on the other side of the room. heh

My dupes on ebay

LINKED



so the real question is , does anyone need 4 copies of Halo 2 ??

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DREAMCAST-GAME-REZ-FULL-PROMO-VERSION_W0QQitemZ8269544616QQcategoryZ72483QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Sort of looks official but the PROMO looks odd

any ideas anyone?

 

Looks like a fake to me... 2 reasons:

- White labels always have white in the inner ring of the disc... It's hard to explain, but the white covers what is clear in that pic. Look at this pic for an example: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dreamcast-Le-...ryZ15112QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

- It's a pal game with the red swirl... Dreamcast in europe had a blue swirl. That's not a mistake that sega would have made in stamping, and all "real" white lables were stamped by sega.

 

*laughs*

That isn't even a GOOD boot. Seller is probably some kid trying to make a quick buck by burning CDs in mom's basement. Must need money to pay his parents back for the nice CD printer.

Thats fake, I've reported the seller (who churns out loads of these things) to ebay a number of times, but they haven't done shit.

 

I've already asked the seller a question and has updated the auction.

Not wanting to disagree but compiling on DVT3 and DVT4, up to say June'ish 2002 was meant to be done using VS6, hence why all the SDK's up to and including the aforementioned date default/insist to wanting VS6 with processor pack etc.

...It was only after that date that they started to move over to .net

 

....Ah, Xfest 2000 folder, mouse mat etc, thanks for reminding me, need to add a pic of mine to the Alpha Xbox Dev collection pic thread, cheers Alan.

 

You're probably right... i wonder if it was just my company's internal policy to use freaking beta compilers... We never followed Microsoft's rules anyway, for some reason, they always let us get away with it.


Oh... i know why... never mind... The project i was working on at the time would have needed .net. Too bad all of my old docs from that timeframe are 1600 miles away, i'd like to look over all of that old stuff.

 

Someone want to explain why 360 power supplies are selling for over $200?

Looks like some eBay sellers have taken to parting out the systems. Shit, if the power supplies are going for a cool $200 I may have to pick up a few systems this week and hit ebay. That's an easy way to mad profit. Heh.

Be careful with that, you do realize that you can buy replacement power supplies from MS, right?(hint hint, call the number on the back of the kiosc instead of microsoft directly for better service)

Damn, I guess this is what happens when you have a defective product and the company refuses to acknowledge it or offer replacement parts in retail stores.
