I figured out why the debug kit only reported 64.00 mb of ram and did not use the xbdm.dll or anything -

a friend with XDK had a readme file on the recovery disk, and it said that the Retail Restore puts on MS Dash, allows xbox only to play debug beta games, limits 64.00 mb of ram, and will not connect to computer in any way (like Xbox Neighboorhood).

These screenshots should explain themselves and my progress:

So anyone know how to run retail games on this thing? (Without hardware hacks preferably)

And why aren't the pics showing?

Anyways, I ran the recovery disk, restored it to dev kit, now Avalaunch says 128.00 MB of RAM, and development kit kernel detected.

Come on, someone's gotta know a way.

Yeah I noticed some tut for games on debug by putting the game like its saved to the hard drive into the Game Development Volume (The XDK E: drive I think). Will that work?

And can this thing use Live? To what point? Can I point my account on this thing, go to MS Dash, see my friends online, message them and do features MS Dash lets?

What about in games? Could I save a game to the hard drive and play that on Live?

Dude you got a real dev / debug box you just really need the XDK Recovery Disc.... When I first got my dev box, It was in retail state. So I popped in the XDK Recovery Disc and restored it to Dev State, then applied hack_dev_kit to make it run whatever .xbe I want

Tho now I'm looking for a way to get a BIOS Loader to run on it so I can run the Dashboards that don't work well under a dev bios or a hacked dev bios

Added ya to my MSN for in case you needed something just feel free to pm me or whatever

Whats the name of the hacked debug BIOS? I can run it from BFM right?

Where is the hacked debug BIOS and a good BFM loader located on the usual places?

PS: I've already restored it with a 5849 recovery disk. I'm going to use the external recovery app to restore it to 5933 soon.

umm try one of the complex bios

Agent ME · « **Reply #54 on:** November 30, 2005, 09:28:00 PM »

What exactly do I download? It looks like most of those BIOS are for retail-converted-to-debug xboxs.

What the heck??!?

This is kinda strange...

I tried putting on PacManX and Super Mario War, PacManX got an error when trying to load (XDK Launcher reported it - just like if you try and play Halo), so I deleted it, then I played Super Mario War, omg fun...

And I go to MS Dash to see if it makes a cool icon and save.

It didn't, but, I found 2 soundtracks that were never there before! I doubt Super Mario War put them on (I deleted them, tried Super Mario War again, they didn't come back). Anyways, the soundtracks were "Fighting Theme" or "Fighting" and then "Racing Music" or "Racing Theme". Two songs I remember on there were Journey and Ham.

Anyone know where these came from? This debug kit has been recovered to 5933 recently so don't say the previous owner put them on...

Looks like you got a deal. Only 160.

Someone's gotta know how to get retail on this thing....

Agent ME · « **Reply #58 on:** December 04, 2005, 12:44:00 PM »

Where is it located on the usual places?

Got that, about to try and install.

Is this reversible, or if I mess up or put wrong file somewhere else fixable? I'm continuing now, I'll post what happens.

Can some tell me exactly what I need to do? THe translation of the file is horrible. When it says put in E:, does it mean the REAL E:, or XDK's E (Game Development Volume)? I'll try XE: first then real E: and see what happens.

Yes it works! I'm using my map pack disk (Retail) to install new Halo2 maps, and Halo2 works!
