There is nothing 'simple'

You'd really need to write wrappers for Xbox-specific functions, and probably re-write the XTL 'framework' to work with the PC. Not impossible, just a pain-in-the-ass.

I had looked into it, but by now, it's easier just to write directly for the Xbox, and with a debug BIOS, it's actually a hair more conveninent, too (remote debugging is slick).

So that's why no one said anything.

So my best bet it to write the game under the PC, learn directX better. Then start again for the XBOX with what I learned.
Remote debugging, I look into it see what it's all about.

PS how's X-marbles going, my GF ask about it the other day?

Ah, erm, well, I **will** revisit it, but I really am working on some heavy duty stuff with MXM at the moment.

As soon as I finish, I will be getting X-Marbles out (as well as a rough of X-S Kombat). Both shouldn't take long, really. A TON of code used in MXM will easily apply to games, since I built some nice framework-type classes that evolved from my original X-Marbles code and used and greatly improved in MXM.
