Title: Differences Between Office Xdk And Home Brewed Xdk
Post by: fghjj on January 21, 2005, 08:35:00 AM

2- Serious development (like XBMC). For normal dev a retail-to-debug will be sufficient.

Note that the official XDK probably comes without the necessary software/HDD. Offcourse there are hacks around to allow retail games/non-debug signed code to run on this box too, but that would be equal to your normal Xbox.

I do believe it's got a much larger HDD than a stock 10gb on a retail box.
It has 128mb of ram too.
And those extra ports, that's it as far as i'm aware...

Can someone explain why dev kits have more RAM? I've heard the GameCube ones do as well, and I wonder why.

ok... question then...

If I get ambitious and solder some more memory in my xbox could I get the Debug BFM to load and get something like Halo or Halo 2 to run?????
