Lewie4 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Hi i have been modding for a while now and i am interested in buying a xbox 360 dev kit. Does anyone know where to get one or is anyone willing to sell me one? Cheers Lewie
Dark Slipstream Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Xbox-Underground is strictly devkits, we don't have many users here that have a devkit. It's used for more than just halo, although most of us would ONLY use it for halo (myself [probably] included). They cost more than 900 GBP, which is 1200 USD, or more. Not something many people can buy. You need to know PPC, Assembly and C++ / C# / VB to code a game, modifying an existing one basically requires C# / VB. Try XU, although it takes a while, you will have to prove you know programming, and that your aren't going to use it for JUST halo, then one of them might sell you one.
Pargy Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Look on xbox-scene, a while ago someone was selling a demo kit for $600
Lewie4 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 Look on xbox-scene, a while ago someone was selling a demo kit for $600 Whats the difference between a Dev Kit and a Demo kit?
Korupt Data Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Trust me m8 its not worth it, dont buy one unless your going to actually use it to develop games..
yungbol Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Trust me m8 its not worth it, dont buy one unless your going to actually use it to develop games.. True that... A demo kit can run unsigned code it is just you need to have the .xex resigned by a dev key pair. The demo kit is the best way to go to mod halo 3 although that is a waste as well.
Lewie4 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 Trust me m8 its not worth it, dont buy one unless your going to actually use it to develop games.. Yh i will be making games and probally giving .map modding ago
Korupt Data Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Yh i will be making games and probally giving .map modding agoIf your not lying about developing games i would learn PPC, Assembly and C++ / C# / VB like slip saidbefore even thinking about trying to buy a devkit.
xX Epsilon Xx Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Also If you "say" you will develop games, dont be afraid to get one from the Microsoft Xbox 360 Middleware Program, or keep "saying" you want to make games, and horribly hide the fact you want it to mod Halo 3. (not to Korrupt, i beleive you'll make games because you can actually code, along with DarkieMcSlippie, but me on the other hand would use it for halo)
yungbol Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Lol KD you can't code, can you? 0_o But yea, learn Assembly and how these things work, honestly I would take some courses in this before even thinking about blowing money on a piece of hardware like this.

fastmouth808 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 lol it isnt worth it. i mean all the halo 3 modding is awesome and stuff. but even if you are going to mod other games, it takes some skills.
yungbol Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 I dont know how to code and never said i did lol, if i knew how id buy a xdk. Yea I didn't think you could I was about to say "Make me some apps!" lol. I know you didn't say you could but someone else did.
V3NOM Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 If you dont know the difference between a dev and a demo you shouldnt buy either.
fastmouth808 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 If you dont know the difference between a dev and a demo you shouldnt buy either. yep hes rite...
Lewie4 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Posted February 13, 2009 If you dont know the difference between a dev and a demo you shouldnt buy either. i know the difference but if i cant find a dev kit (or at least a cheap one) i will just get a demo kit:D
Decatur Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 i know the difference but if i cant find a dev kit (or at least a cheap one) i will just get a demo kit:Dthey are both 500+ USD easily...
Korupt Data Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 i know the difference but if i cant find a dev kit (or at least a cheap one) i will just get a demo kit:DSo im assuming your just going to buy this console to mod halo 3 then.. since your getting a demo kit.
V3NOM Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 Whats the difference between a Dev Kit and a Demo kit?well if you had to ask you shouldnt get it
yungbol Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 Exactly it is not like he has the connections to really use dev kit's made games to 'demo' them out.
Lewie4 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Posted February 14, 2009 So im assuming your just going to buy this console to mod halo 3 then.. since your getting a demo kit. Yeh and so i dont have to buy games anymore XD
yungbol Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 Yeh and so i dont have to buy games anymore XD Just flash your firmware if you don't want to buy games. Anyway you can't load normal game's they need to be patched. Also, how would you not have to 'pay' for games anymore when there is no source to get the games unless your going to download the .iso and patch it. Mines well just flash your firmware and you don't need to patch the games and you can still play on live. With a dev you get PartnerNet which is like 20x smaller then lives community, quite frankly, probably a lot smaller then that.
gabe_k Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Yeh and so i dont have to buy games anymore XD Then don't buy one.
SotG Caboose Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Dont buy a debug xbox to mod halo 3. duh
gabe_k Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Dont buy a debug xbox to mod halo 3. duh +1
