Another Xbox Anatomy Lesson

Posted by timothy on from the lookit-th'-extra-ram-space dept.

Keith writes: "Icrontic.com has taken apart, examined, and modified an Xbox. In their latest article, they point out some debugging leads on the Xbox, and a possible USB hack. The Xbox is looking more and more like a PC." A lot of the investigation here is incomplete; watch this space, because it won't be long until Xbox surgery is commonplace.

    Now we not only have to contend with their infuriatingly buggy and hideously bloated software, but now these frelling x-boxes have arrived to supply the world with game consoles which can run their shoddy wares.

    Well I hope these things don't crash at inoppourtune times like their PC games are renowned for doing. I can't even fathom how many times a windows game crashed on me right before or as I was saving it.

    Maybe since they have the line on the hardware they can get a reliable machine working. I sure hope so, they can use some help.

    The #1 reason why I ever started using linux was because of games constantly crashing on pc's and little or no support forthcoming. Not that linux doesn't crash occasionally, but at least I can fool myself into thinking I'll go into the source code and fix it myself if I have to.

    Who's gonna issue patches for x-box games? Nobody

    OK, put your mouse over the submitter's name (Keith). The link is to Icrontic.com. But that's also the site he points us to in his post.

    I wish the Slashdot editors would check to see that the story isn't just spam, promoting the poster's site.
