Would this even be possible.?

[greengiant]

Yes.

Via the use of the debug tools (xdk) and the debug bios part of xbdm.dll it will allow screen capture of ANY xbe that is loaded, at any time.

It depends on the bios supporting the xbdm.dll and you having the proper tools.

A bios with screen capturing would be very cool and handy or another option making ingame movies.

[flattspott]

I was thinking more along the lines of simply being to take a screencapture for important ingame moments, like when you set a high score or something.

[RDJ134]

flattspott your right on that i would love to make ingame screenshots of my games and highscores/time records.

But mabey a option to record you game(imagine with race games like nfsu and burnout) and post/share it with others.

[greengiant]

Well iam sure some talented coder out there could re-verse engeneer the protocol and such, and make it such that a single individual app can take uuse of the xbox debug bios feature, and xbdm, withought the need for XDK to be installed on the users xbox.

Ive done simple stuff, like sending commands to the xbox xbdm, I may look into screen capturing it.

A simple network logger will reveal the packets and then yo ucan see the commands being used.

I wrote a screencap tool which works on quite a few games, it requires the latest evolutionx dash, and the game must be compatible with 'tsr debug mode' to work.

I think I even released the source to it.. Although its nowhere near a perfect solution, its a solution for those people that don't have the xdk
