Xbox Dev Doc: Understanding the Xbox Vertex Shader Processor

Here's another development document for the original Xbox close to a year prior to its release.

This one looks fairly technical, but perhaps it could be enlightening to someone who interested in the nuts and bolts of the Xbox's graphics hardware.

Kao watch yourself. You might make an Xbox emulator work really well if you keep this.
We cant foil MS's plans for Xbox support on the Xbone with a better emulator on PC

 

Yeah, I'd be great if any of this hardware documentation could help the Xbox emulation scene.

 

Actually, most would refuse to look at internal documents.

 

Oh? Why's that? Plausible deniability?

 

Because if it is proven that they made their emulator using documents and stuff that they aren't authorized to have, and not reverse engineering, that can open up a whole legal can of worms.

 

Ah, deniability then. Makes sense. I dunno then, do these docs have any value to anyone, then? I've got a bunch more I could share but I don't want to cause any headaches.

 

I would certainly appreciate them , not that I'm doing anytinh with them more for preservation persposes

 

Thank you for sharing this Kao They definitely have value to modders, homebrew developers, collectors and as a developer these documents are fascinating to me. If you share any more in the future they will definitely be appreciated

 

Please share them but yeah a notice that they where confidential or something might help keep the emu programmers away collectors or official XDK users like homebrewers might still enjoy em (I think there are still some homebrewers, not many. but maybe these docs help those?)
