Open Source And Legal Xbox SDK Compiles Doom

Posted by Zonk on Saturday October 9, 2004 @07:30AM from the penguins-and-xboxen-get-back-together dept.

BlueMoon writes "After almost 2 years of silence a new version of OpenXDK (the open source, free and legal development kit for the Microsoft Xbox) has been released. It has now a complete libc replacement, multimedia support (video, joysticks and event handling) using the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) and it migrated to a GCC-based toolchain. To demonstrate the capabilities of the framework, the SDL port of Doom is able to be compiled and executed."

Do you mean THE Doom? The original one from the mid-90's? How is that proving the capabilities of anything?

It's about time that somebody ported a free compiler, toolchain, and graphics library to work on the fledgeling x86 platform.
