[Release] Juiced 2 early internal build [Beta 1-era]

Build date/size:
This build is dated September, 1st, 2005
unpacked size is 4.46gb.

Pictures/Video: I though I had a couple screenshots but can find them atm. Don't have any hardware handy anymore to grab new ones, either. Could somebody be kind enough to take a couple for those who can't run the build?

What hardware do I need to run this on?
The executable is from the Beta 1-hardware stage, ran on all recoveries I tried it on back in the day (14xx to 1838.0). Does not run on Beta 2 or final hardware, as-is.

Spoiler: Quick overview regarding the different executables:

All in all there seem to have been 4 types of executables, identifiable by their file extension and/or the ASCII string at the beginning of the file:

Alpha:
*exe/MZ and says "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" when opened in any Hex Editor.

Beta1 (pre-1888.0):
*exe/XEX1 or *exe/XEX- [there may also be *xex/XEX1 executables, I just never encountered them]

Beta2/Final:
*xex/XEX2

What is it?

An early internal build, only San Francisco available,
no opponents etc.
Through file swapping (using the files included in this build), different courses within SF are playable.
I don't recall whether it was possible to use car models from later builds through file-swapping, in this build only the RX8 is available.




Why the heck would you upload something this useless?
Hey, it's more useful than my last release, since at least a couple people on here own either repaired China-Beta1 kits and/or Beta 1s which weren't sent to the dump in the first place.

As far as these lucky guys are concerned: Stay tuned, there's more to come, sooner or later.



Where's the link?

Noice.

 

Any idea where can I get that Beta1 kits from China? I can only find regular XDK units on Taobao.

Big thanks for share

 

Cheers bud! Been needing a build for my beta kit!

They aren't on Taobao any more. You have to find one from a forum etc. now.

EDIT: Here are some pics from the build. Its on a kit I once had, sold it to a mate and here is the photos he took. Anyone remember SneakyPeanut AKA XeTK?

Even though I can't personally run this I still appreciate the contribution to the 360 scene. Every build adds one more reason to get into it. Thanks @jaunelapin

 

Thanks for the screenshots.

BTW: There's more to come for Beta 1s'

 

Is there a medium of loving another guy without being gay? I think that's where I am.

Thanks again mate

 

Where is he these days anyway?

 

He's left the scene now mate. Moved on and focuses on his personal life.

It's blasphemy to us I know but it happens. We still talk here and there.

 

Oh Sneaky....

Didn't he and Kuji get jobs in the industry?

 

Don't know about Kuji but I can tell you Sneaky isn't in the games industry if that's what you meant?

 

Yeah, I thought SP went into gaming. Maybe I was wrong. Hmm....

 

Great share! It's odd the tracks are so large. Around 700MB each.

I do love how they refer to it as Juiced 2007 also. The final also has "Juiced 2K7" Number plates which is cool.

Also never expected this to be in development for so long.

 

Got you a video
