Never thought I'd see the day... ANY homebrew can be launched.

well undocumented custom hardware is much more of a labour to reverse engineer these days, let alone the comfort of developing applications within the confines of a neatly organised plateau of abstraction layer, further assisted by any average joe's experience with DirectX.

That is in my view why very few people will bother digging deep into the 360 as you put it.

The Wii was leveraged by the GC's programming experience and the differences were managed quite along the Wii's expected hack timeline. The GC in turn was put on the map thanks to a few yet very talented and dedicated people. I guess that's what you need to realize your vision righteous posters.

 

Well tmbinc just released a VERY early version of libxenon

That could very easily be a great open source LEGAL SDK, but it would take dedication by people instead of taking the easy way out and just using the real SDK. Could very well make homebrew MUCH easier once the exploit gets running fully and things start taking off

 

It seems that a leaked zenon image popped up from somebody.

here's a video of my snes9x port:

It's very basic, yes, but it shows that homebrew is possible TODAY without relying on the XDK.

 

Wow tmbinc,Im very impressed.:thumbsup:

 

You are my personal hero tmbinc

I hope libxenon catches on so our binaries can be legal this time around lol

 

Can someone please explain a little bit about binaries and why one set is considered legal and the other is illegal? Why was everyone soo mad about the SDK being public?

 

In order to use the Microsoft SDK, you need to have a license. Without the license, anything you produce is considered unlicensed and would be a legal liability for anyone hosting or distributing it. Not to mention, getting it to run on a non-debug system would be a pain.

With an open SDK however there is no such license restriction. Anything built can be distributed.

Well see I dont see a problem then. Why cant we just put everything on xbins? Whats so hard abut that? Weather the binaries used to develop are legal or not, isn't anything we create to run on a hack that Microsoft doesnt approve of going to be considered illegal?

Facepalm......epic fail:fresh:
