Windows CE.NET Ported to Xbox
Cutriss writes "Caught this over at Xbox Scene - Windows CE.NET 4.2 has been ported to the Xbox. Artifex, one of the developers of this project, says the following about the status of development: 'The basic kernel subsystem is in place. The IoCtl is about 90% done. ISR/IST is up and working. PCI enumeration happens properly. USB initializes and enumerates devices (but hangs if there's a gamepad connected). Mouse driver loads. Keyboard driver loads but is missing a layout, so it's not quite functional yet. A VERY simple video driver is in place (Software mouse cursor seems to be failing, so you won't see a pointer, yet).' It's a 100% legal distribution, but you'll still need a modded/exploited Xbox in order to run it. Screenshots hosted by Xbox Scene can be found here(1) and here(2)."
By GNAA staff
New York, NY - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) this afternoon announced completion of a project started almost 6 months ago, porting of Windows CE.NET environment to Microsoft's XBOX gaming platform.
In a shocking announcement this afternoon, GNAA representative lysol demonstrated the XBOX running Microsoft's own Windows CE.NET 4.2 operating system.
"This is quite an important achievement," lysol began. "By porting Windows CE to XBOX, GNAA will be able to create a beowulf cluster of all XBOXes and use them to recruit more gay niggers. Next step will naturally be porting our GNAAOS framework to the new system, which will allow us to highly increase our gay nigger membership.
Unlike the Microsoft's custom OS, based on Windows 2000 kernel currently running on the XBOX, with a custom (and somewhat limited API), Windows CE.NET will allow running a whole range of Win32 applications on the XBOX by simply recompiling them. Because the differences between Windows CE.NET Win32 API are minimal, any type of gay nigger software can be easily ported to run on the new platform. GNAA is expecting to begin work on porting GNAAOS framework "real soon now", according to GNAA representative goat-see.

Nice of them to have anti-leech protection on the images...unless they only scan for slashdot as the referrer! Hah!
That was easy!
is microsoft cool now?
This is exactly the kind of "hacking" that Bill wants to see... porting Microsoft software to Microsoft hardware.
I blame MICHAEL!!!!!
This sure as hell beats Lunix.
Remember kids: Windows on the desktop. Lunix on the servers. and *BSD in the grave. : D
Keyboard driver loads but is missing a layout, so it's not quite functional yet. A VERY simple video driver is in place (Software mouse cursor seems to be failing, so you won't see a pointer, yet).
So it runs just like winME then.
Windows running on Microsoft hardware. What next, MacOS running on something made by Apple?
Kudos to the guys who did this, I'm sure it took a lot of work...but do we really need Windows CE on the X-Box? IIRC, Windows 2000 already works, and so does Linux. Is there any specific advantage to CE, aside from its smaller size?
LOAD "SIG",8,1
Hasn't this black and green box endured enough ports? Its a computer we get it, when will it stop? When all O/Ss known to man are on xbox?
jeez...someone has waaay too much time on their hands...
We already have Linux working on the Xbox, so why would you need Windows CE.NET?? Who wants to turn their Xbox into an overwight PDA
I mean... why would someone want to use another MS software in Xbox, since you can get along without the MS bugware....

slashdot's guide to niggers
Some of you may be confused about what a nigger is - it seems many people think niggers only refers to subhumans of african descent. We've put together this handy guide for you along with the common traist and other names for each type.
nigger: The most common version of subhumans. traits: lazy, but good at sports, especially track and basketball. big dicks, small brains. females have large asses. niggers males prefer white women - especially ugly ones -because nigger females can get ungodly fat. Likes watermelon, welfare, and hip hop music. Other names: jungle bunny, spear chucker, porch monkey, missisippi blue gum
Sand nigger: This type comes from arabic countries. traits: claims to hate america but wtf is he doing owning a 7-11 and wearing blue jeans? enjoys beating women. wipes ass with his hand. other names: terrorist, arab.
rice nigger: This type comes from Asian countries. traits: likes rice, can't drive, speaks english poorly with a funny accent. small dicks. rice nigger females are good at giving manicures and "massages". Other names: Japs, chinks, charlie.
Taco nigger: Comes from South of the US of America: traits: most are not smart enough to learn english. can't drive - and feels complelled to screw up their car's suspension. women look hot until they get married, then they blow up like Jabba the hut. Other names: spics.
Curry nigger: curry niggers hail from India. traits: smell disgusting, have dots on their forehead. enjoy stealing american programming and help desk jobs, which they suck at. Worship demons (that elephant dude is scary). Own hotels and 7-11s. other names: ?
Corn nigger: These are native to the USA. traits: inbred dying species of nigger - most were killed off/raping and assilimated - those that remain are generally poor, ugly, and smelly - or own casinos - those are rich, ugly, and smelly. Like feathers, and gibber nonesense they pretend is a language. Other names: native american, redskin.
money nigger: These guys are everywhere so watch out. traits: moderately inbred, likes money will steal you blind if you're not careful. Will do anything to piss off sand niggers, will even live in a shitty desert that no one would want except for a sand nigger. waer funny hats called yamahas. small dicks. Women are whiney and will not swallow. Other names: jew
white nigger: These are generally low-income, low IQ normal people who for some reason decide to be a nigger. traits: like hip hop music, baggy pants, and ugly white women - all things that any self respecting human steers clear of. May put a farting muffler on his car, and a fin that does not match. Walks with a limp. Tries to talk and act like a nigger. Real niggers hate these guys because they know white niggers will always be better than them no matter how retarded they act. other names: wiggers, slim shadies, vanilla ice.
This is refreshing. Microsoft demi-priests cracking their own Rosetta Stone. In a way, it's funny.

CeX?
Windows CE.NET 4.20 on the Microsoft Xbox *updated*
.NET CLR apps, and (with a VM installed) Java. CE versions of Windows Media Player, Flash players, IE, MS Office, etc etc.... This is the real deal.
>> Artifex & Phoenix, with the assistance and support of OzXodus has released a proof of concept.
From the readme:
-Wait wait wait.... Windows? On the Xbox?
-BULLSHIT! Everyone said it cant be done! Is this for real?
Yes, this is for real. It's a VERY early work in progress... but it DOES work. Windows CE.NET is a full, "Win32" Windows kernel, designed for embedded platforms. It can run windows applications compiled for CE, CE.NET, PocketPC, and Windows Mobile. It can also run
-Ok, so, what can we do with it NOW?
Not much. This is just a proof of concept. The kernel starts, SOME drivers load, the GUI comes up, you can run applications. There is a LOT still to be done before it's very impressive
-What works?
The basic kernel subsystem is in place. The IoCtl is about 90% done.
ISR/IST is up and working. PCI enumeration happens properly. USB initializes and enumerates devices (but hangs if there's a gamepad connected). Mouse driver loads. Keyboard driver loads but is missing a layout, so it's not quite functional yet. A VERY simple video driver is in place (Software mouse cursor seems to be failing, so you won't see a pointer, yet).
-What still needs done?
LOTS. Most importantly, the existing 'bugs' need fixed. Keyboard layouts need put in place. The software cursor needs fixed. The date and time is not being retrieved properly... Secondly, drivers need written, ported, or simply put in place. It should be easy to work the NVNET driver in, as it's designed to be easily dropped into an NDIS/RNDIS environment. FATX should just be a matter of adapting the FAT filesystem driver. Gamepad drivers can be ported from the existing windows versions. It MAY (very speculative!) be possible to work in a 3d-accelerated nvidia gpu driver, as CE.NET includes a complete DirectX implementation.
Also, Focus support is not currently in place (lacking in xbeboot)
-Why Release now, then? Why not finish these tasks first, and then release?
I started this project on my own, and got it to this point several months ago Then a LOT of other things started to come up, both with the Xbox, and IRL. I tried to get some other Phoenix members interested, but they were also either too busy with other projects, or IRL. Since then, I've been pondering what to DO with the existing codebase. I finally made the decision to release what I have so far to the public, and see if there were interest. If there is, I'm making an open call for developers, and taking this the way of the xbox-linux project.
-Can I help?
YES! Especially helpfull would be people with embedded RTOS experience, and people with experience in writing windows drivers or with the windows driver architechture itself. Just contact me (see below) and we'll discuss what can be done. I may go so far as to set up a sourceforge project to collaborate our efforts.
-Is this legal to use? Is this legal to distribtue? Am I violating copyright if I host this?
The stage1 bootloader (XbeBoot) was taken from the Xbox-Linux project, and was written without the use of the XDK. Everything AFTER the stage1 bootloader is either my code (BSP) or CE itself. I submit my code to the world under the GPL. As far as CE itself, here is what Microsoft has to say on the subject:
(Taken from "Understanding Additional Licensing Rights", Posted: September 18, 2003
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/ce.net/h owtobuy/licensing/addlicrights.asp)
"Non-commercial distribution rights grant developers the ability to install a runtime on an unlimited number of devices and distribute those devices to third parties for non-commercial purposes.
Must we port everything over to something other than what it was intended?
I'm fed up with people abusing things such as the xbox for no apparent reason... does this make the xbox better? does it make waffles? come on....
Eat a Chicken, You know you want to.
What's there to freaking port?! I raise a good point.
Any port in a storm, I guess.
I'm a Microsoft fanboy and a firm believer in the MS development model. (All your /. dreck doesn't get to me - try to learn COM, COM+, .NET, ATL, WTL, MFC, etc - MS development languages are a huge superset of the C++ that you use, but that is another post). I love the XBox, I'm a frequent XBox Live player, and I'm dedicated to the advancement of Microsoft sanctioned APIs, protocols, and other standards. However, what is this for? Why would I put this on my treasured XBox?
You don't have permission to access /users.compaqnet.be/cn203909/5/0000271629/noleech. gif on this server.
The effect continues....
What is the point of this, you fucking idiots? What a waste of time. Fuck you all.
Get it while it's hot.
How is it flamebait? Everything is 100% accurate. Very useful information.
Could this say anything about Dreamcast games on an xbox?
Look it's a joke about my sig IN MY SIG! LOL!
Those two screenshot links don't work... anybody got a mirror?
YES! We've done it gentleman... We have successfully ported a Microsoft operating system onto a microsoft computer. Congratulations!!!

MOD THIS UP! MOD THIS UP!
The more people who download this the better!
Eat shit and die, Microsoft!
I read what the guy who did this said, and at theend, he says that with this out of the way, we are a few steps closer to getting Windows XP and such ported over. The guy does need help getting together some people who know Windows drivers and such to help him and is considering making this a sourceforge project.
Replace Microsoft Software with other Microsoft Software on Microsoft Hardware -
- Cool
- Why Bother
- How Dumb
- You Tool
- But.. That's not Linux!
But which will be most popular?
ok, well, firstly why on earth would anyone want to bother, i can't see any point at all for the exercise, a hobbyOS is always more fun when you own it, or have some rights over it.
on the legal front, i am curious to know if he's linking anything MS against anything GPL here, or if it's simply recompiled and being launched by his GPL'd work.
Software Freedom Day!.

I got me the first post!!! Oh yeah.
Bonus points: Why work on a closed source version of a propriatory operating system without getting paid?
A firewall can not protect you from yourself. Turn off what you do not need. Do not use the firewall to do your work.
Someone ports OS X to the Xbox, fitting, isn't it.
"Sic Semper Tyrannosaurus Rex."
It's sad that's actually an accomplishment (but sadly, it is a feat for programmers).
Funny in a way. But pretty sad.
Thanks Microsoft. Hackers are needed to get *your* crummy software on *your* crummy hardware.
At least Linux goes on pretty much anything.
you dumb broad.
why people, why?#!@$#?
Hi there
So many people have been asking why port CE, why port anything to the x-box? Why not? It's a hobby. People have fun doing it, and I personally admire the skills these people have. Will it in the long run be beneficial? Probably not. You get experience from doing stuff like this and enjoy it at the same time. Sounds good to me.

Porting things to the Xbox does make it better. I use Xbox Media Center, which is based off both Xine and mplayer. It's great for watching movie rips.
This is great, think of all the applications I can put it to...
1) I can read email in Starbucks over 802.11b (once somebody is kind enough to port a network adaptor).
2) I can hook it up to the GPS device and a 29" Telly and get my xbox to give me directions in the car.
3) I can run pocket Excel on my desk at work, on a huge screen, on those days when my laptop is off for repair.
4) I can download my contacts and diary and read them on my telly at home.
5) blah blah blah
Big is beautiful, why should I bother doing any of these things on a PDA that I keep on leaving around.
So long as I'm carrying my 29" wide screen TV, my xbox and a network connector I will never again be late for a meeting, or stuck without a friends phone number.
I went there and I saw the xbox screenshots.

Hmmm...Let's see...I know I'm missing some...
Software mouse cursor seems to be failing, so you won't see a pointer, yet
A nice utility might be to accentuate the mouse cursor for those that use more than one monitor at higher resolutions. I.E., touch the mouse slightly and the cursor flashes.
It may sound stupid to some, but this would be really useful in my opinion.
LOL
I don't see talking about the goatse guy being the topic
I hate to say it, but won't more projects like this cause console prices (X-box especially) to rise? Microsoft is losing tons of money on these things as is, but expect to regain the money on game sales. I'm not sure how many games run on WindowsCE that you can by from MS right now that could help them recoup their losses on these things.
If people aren't buying the games, instead just putting other OSs on them, it just might cause MS to raise their prices so they're not selling at such a loss anymore. Frankly, they're not competing too well against Sony as is, so raising the price a little probably wouldn't hurt them all that much more in the long run.

And people said that Windows wasn't as portable as Linux or NetBSD. What do you have to say now, punks?!
What crawled up your ass?
This guy did what 95% of posters here do: TRY to be funny, with an emphasis on TRY.
Humor is subjective, just like opinions.
Which means yours is as valid as his.
With a third of the country on some kind of Prozac-like happy pills, seems to me you should think about it too.
'Nuff said
Make me your friend. All my friends get +1 modifier and I need friends :)
There is *NO* goatse link.
The parent is just trolling.
Windows isn't as portable as Linux or NetBSD.
It's real!
why put windows on a xbox? its already windows on it........
so please, someone enlighten me, why would anyone get a modded xbox to run windows on it??
this is like porting windows to the sparc arch. if there was windows for sparc, nobody would buy it.
There I was, minding my own business, gathering some ideas on what next to do to my xbox...
/. and see what's up tonight...
;)
All of a sudden I can't load a bloody forum posting.... what the hell?!?
Look over at the hub... nope, we've got lights.
Look over at the cabel modem.... nope, Adelphia doesn't suck tonight.
Quickly check my router, drop and reclaim my dhcp connection. Everything fine there.
Hell, guess they forgot to pay their hosting bill this month. Might as well stroll on over to
Oh, look. An article pointing to Xbox scene. Guess that explains it...

"But does it run WinCE?"
Seriously, what the hell is the point? What is Windows CE possibly good for besides a handheld device. A webpad is what Windows CE is for, NOT the Xbox. When Windows XP is running on an Xbox(which will NEVER happen), then I will be impressed. But Windows CE, its kinda useless.
wow, I went to CowboyNeal's home page and what do I see?
Blatant use of the N-word!
As an african-american, I find this racial intolerance to be intolerable and will not support a site that employs racists in its ranks.
You should be ashamed of yourselevs.
they both suck..
i hate microsoft.
With every one askiny why, I ask: "Why not?"
And I would like to know, does it still play Xbox games? I would love to use a mouse/keyboard/joystick for some games.
If it can, this would be like combining the Xbox with PDA and web TV. I think this is the best thing to happen with to the Xbox.
Why do this? More options, the better.
1) Windows CE on Xbox
2) ???
3) Profit!!!
Ya maybe for Microsoft...
"Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati" -- Red Green
Before all the trolls start whine about, "why mod an xbox"
need i remind you that for well under $200

and support to stream for every major streaming protacal, from your network hard drives
-mp3 jupebox with shoutcast support (xbox media player)
decent ftp server
*illigaly
-a nintendo, SNES, GENesis, gameboy advance, N64 emulator (put a couple thosand games)
-Can copy games to the hard drive and play them
have a nice, cool dedicated linux box running gnetoo, mandrake or one of like 3 decent distros
The hardware is a 733celeron (copermine core, good on power and heat)
64megs of ram shared between apps, and Video ram
a modified Geforce 3 core (good enough)
For those of you that whine, "it can't play burned disks"
either replace the drive, or buy one that has a samsung drive in it, they play all media just about.

So this isn't completely OT, I don't own an xbox, but I'd buy one if it ran beos - windows CE is so 1999. :P
Now if we can combine that awesome Xbox mod (The clear one the size of my fridge).. and this.. well.. I can only think itd be the most revolutionary non-portable device on the planet.. I cant wait to see how much it goes for on ebay...
to xbox owners this is signifigant progress towards getting 3d acceleration going, something thats very far off in all the linux distros..
to joe slashdotter its not important (let alone front page) news at all
Isn't it time start using PNG?!
Actually, you can solder your own individual SDRAM IC's (up to 2 more) into the XBOX.
OK, somebody explain this to me....

You keep your xbox running Windows. Someone give me Windows running xbox games. =P
It goes from God, to Jerry, to me.
Caught this over at Xbox Scene
Uh...
1. What were you doing there?
2. Why did you think we'd be interested?
I mean, it already run Windows & Linux (later with some tweak) !
;-)
... i am not sure xbox has a bright future outside US.
Windows CE, is just nonsense for me. Memory efficiency & all, isn't it the thing we expect from a usual OS ?
So, what is this means, that CE runs faster than latest NT (2K/XP) series ? or does it means, that They are planing a CE for desktop
Given the loss MS have here in europe on xbox xmass selling, not even talking about asia
How long will they be able to counter-strike the PS/2 world-wide success (but US) ?
Seriously. Stop that. Seeing that the XBox uses PowerPC chips now, you're going to start these Microsoft developers thinking they can port Windows XP to my Powerbook.
Oh, the hypocricy!
People going on and on about "why bother" porting WinCE to XBox, but ask them the same thing porting Linux to Xbox or other gaming platforms and you best done your asbestos underwear. I guess Slashdotters don't like it when the shoe is on the other hand.
Usually if a page doesn't load, I just try another website to see if its my connection... :)
When some useless open source clone operating system is ported to the xbox that has no useful applications people here crap themselves. When they port an operating system that might have some use in their multimedia uses for the xbox you guys give them shit just because it's microsoft. I don't care what free shit exists for xbox, no one's going to use it unless they can make some good homebrew software for it. I mean people are pirating this stuff anyway, so who cares if it's open or free? People want to use their xbox as a place to play their media files and last time I checked, there isn't a kis will enable people to use those horribly closeckass open source media player. So maybe thid yet impressively useful media players.
(Of course, for years I used a cheap Sears TV as the monitor for my Atari 600XL/130XE, but those computers were made for TV output, so they weren't so fuzzy...)
One of the primary advantages of CE is that it doesn't ship with craploads of unnecassary services/features, etc. It's a lightweight platform, and it's great for a thinclient running RDP to get to a Term Services box. I kow I'm probably opening the floodgates for flames from the citrix crowd, but if an organization has enterprise licensing from MS, it's kinda dumb to also pay for citrix licenses. Besides the inherent efficiency of a lightweight platform, the platform is also more secure by not having so many extra services to keep patched.
Yes, my only tool is a hammer. And you're starting to look like a nail.
... Now I have to hack a piece of Microsoft hardware to run a piece of Microsoft software? Hmmm...... right.....

It takes a lot of work getting a WinCE kernel running on an unsupported hardware platform, so I salute the guys who did this.
However, M$ will still require you to buy a license for each hardware platform onto which you deploy an OS image.
Also, PocketPC applications are ARM4-based, and will therefore not run without recompilation on the x86 processor.
What if we ported Windows to the PC??

just a warning for you guys... I think wince.net messed with the internal clock on my system... so, be sure to go into the MS dashboard and fix the clock back, otherwise games may not load properly (Grand Theft Auto: VC for example, freezes at the loading screen).
