Linux (bsd Sockets) Xbox Screenshot Grabber
« on: March 28, 2005, 09:05:00 AM »

(See also my Wiki)

Hmm. Having gotten back into OpenXDK development, and suddenly deciding I wanted to screenshot my housemate's XBox, I noticed the open-source XIG2. I installed a debug BIOS (Yoshihiro 2005) into the Xecutor 2's second bank,and then realised I couldn't be assed going upstairs to my linux box.

So with the help of dds2.dpr, the MSDN entry on the DDS file format, and the (underdocumented) libDevIL, I produced the following. I've got some nice screenshots of my avalaunch screen to show for it. ^_^

Obviously I meant I couldn't be assed going upstairs to my windows box.

Anyway, this is just a thinly disguised excuse to post another screenshot. happy.gif

Anyway, this is the reason I got into this mess, those kanji are way too hard to read on my TV.

Well, not those ones, but the complicated ones are. happy.gif
