Xbox: Unreleased XDK demos w/ source code.

Hey!

Just wanted to take some time out to upload some of these rare gems. IMO, some of these samples were really useful and very informative (especially the ne on Texture Compression). I currently have 5 of these XDK demos and only got around to compiling 2 of them, and one I haven't managed to compile.

BRDF Sample (2.01 MB): Source + compiled .xbe
Bunny (1.86 MB): Source only (couldn't compile it right away)
CompressedNormals (86.34 KB): Source only (needs new project)
Donuts3D (3.45 MB): Source + compiled .xbe
TextureCompression (2.30 MB): Source only (needs new project)

I'm a bit surprised that Microsoft never released these XDK samples! They would have saved me much time and energy in certain areas (especially the texture compression sample). Hopefully some of you can make good use of these. The Donuts3D sample was obviously unfinished, but still would have been an interesting addition to the XDK.

Keep in mind that in the earlier days of Microsoft's XDK development, they used a customized Visual Studio project (.dsx). Later on, they decided to use standard .dsp/.dsw files for XDK projects. So unless you know the file format's differences, you'll have to create a new Visual Studio project for the ones I haven't compiled.

Enjoy,

Shogun.

EDIT: Now that megaupload is kaput, here's a new link for the samples (courtesy of CodeAsm): http://codeasm.com/xbox/files/Xbox XDK Rare Samples - BlueShogun96/

Hahahaha, if it isn't Shog! It's me, Mire!

Didn't know you were aboard dude, that's awesome. And thanks for sharing the treasure with us!

 

Oh, hey Miretank! Yup, it's me, that Xbox1 guy with a different FMA lust avatar for every forum I use except emutalk!

 

Fixed, thanks. Try it now.

 

Are any of these that tech demo with all the balls bouncing...

 

Nope, nothing of that nature. I don't think that was part of the XDK to begin with though.

 

:love2: ow thank you blueshogun
this will make my xbox shine again of xdk awesomeness.

:thumbsup: and good for research on how the xbox works

 

Could anybody please provide some videos for those who can't try them theirselves?

Here we go.
Hope this is ok with blueshogun96 and mods.

Ill maybe change the sound, i dunno. this week ill setup my vs2005 again.
or maybe C++ 6, blueshogun96 with what version did you compile ?

 

I used Visual Studio 6.0 with XDK 4361. The only XDK compatible verisons of vc++ are 6.0 and .net 7.0/7.1.

 

It would be great. :thumbsup:

 

Am I missing the link here? I cannot locate it
