Xbox alpha 2 December 2000 recovery

Thanks for this Assembler

 

Many thanks for the link. I was actually looking for this recovery only a couple of weeks ago.

 

I dont have one but got it just incase thanks.

 

Don't have it, don't need it, but I'll keep it locally in case I do later or someone else does.

 

I am really interested in any recovery discs later than Dec 00 if anyone has one.

@Assembler you get the alpha up and running yet?

 

I've got june 2002 and the latest 5838 or something if either of those work with the model you have?

 

Thought this was interesting, found an image of an early controller revision that I don't recall seeing before. Tineye Reverse Image Search didn't show up anything either but it's not foolproof.

Converted from TGA to JPG.

 

Here's another piccy, made by Interact...

For the alpha kits I think believe the compatible versions go up to May 2001. The May 01 I have heard is not the most stable.

Feb, Mar, Apr or May of 01 are known to exist but I am not sure which is the "best" to have. Frankly I would take anything beyond Dec 00.

 

Yes the original pad was based on the sidewinder USB pad, I've got that in a maplins or some electrical magazine which also details that they got rid of the alpha dev kits with baseball bats =/

 

Throwing them out your mad you bined a lots of good stuff even sega dev board if you have anything you want to bin let me know before you do.
i would cover shipping costs take care man.
good luck with the kit repair.:thumbsup:

 

Not true.

 

Could have fooled me;

If I ever find that magazine I'll make a scan of it.

 

Microsoft didnt make the controllers, they are actually Interact controllers (Hammerhead)

 

I have a promo Halo disc that had a collection of early footage and in one clip they showed some of the Bungie developers demo'ing Halo at some gameshow (Gamestock I believe?) In that video you can clearly see them using these Hammerhead controllers.

I had the chance to buy these way back when (early 2000) off some liquidation site where I found early mock ups of the Duke controller. I thought they were just PC controllers so I passed on them. Only later did I realize the error of my ways.

 

Thanks for this ASSEMbler.. Interesting how the XBE header appears to be way different than the final. "This program cannot be run in DOS mode." made me laugh.
