Posted: Fri Jun 09, 2006 8:40 am Post subject: Setting up XDK
Hey all,
I'm looking at setting up my xbox to run debug, using the Unofficial XDK 5933. I mainly want it for screen grabbing etc, and maybe toying with a little coding later on.
My questions are these:
- I have MS Visual Studio (Visual C# 2005 Beta). Will this work, or does it need to be Visual C++?
- Also, I have read a few tutorials about this, and some mention the XDK Launcher and Dashboard 4627 Cracked. Will I need these to perform the functions I desire, or just Visual Studio and XDK on Xbox and PC?
Thanks for any help

You need the XDK launcher to run things like a dashboard for screen grabbing (thats my main use) you also need a modified bios (can be set in X3CP) to look in E: for dhasboard .xbx or whatever the launcher is.
Been so long since I have had it set-up. Will e-mail DJB the link as he's the one that supplyed me all the stuff/knowledge.

You need Visual Studio .NET 2003, I don't think 2005 will work with it properly.
There's information in the AID Manual in the Appendix section which describes how to set up your PC + Xbox with the XDK.

One more thing just quickly, in the AID Manual, Appendix F it says
Quote:
Be careful don't write your IP as usual, you must type it in hexadecimal, and from right to left. For example, instead of typing 192.168.0.82 you have to write 5200A8C0
I wish to use the static IP 10.0.0.45. When I converted this, it looked like this: 2D0000A. Is this correct? It looks too short.
Thanks, Roo _________________

The Hex number should be 8 digits, since there's only 2 digits per ip
IE:
10.0.0.1
would be
01.00.00.0A without the dots ofcourse

Ahh, so it should be like 2D 00 00 0A?
That looks better now anyway.
Thanks for the help mate, and have a good long weekend .

Thanks for the help guys, all is going well
Screen grabbing was to be my main use, but movie capture is also pretty cool, as I record the sound onto my MP3 player, then join them up on PC. Works sweet!
I have played around with a little code, and compiled some source code as well. So much to learn!!
Later.... Roo _________________

I used to use the Debug mode to do Screen / Movie capture, until I got my hands on this little baby:
The DUB-AV300 allows you to capture to your PC's hard drive at up to 30 frames per second in 720 x 480 pixel resolution. It captures CD quality stereo audio at 16 bit, 24KHz sampling rate with a unique A/V synchronization feature. The snapshot function lets you capture 720 x 480 pixel still images from your analog video source.
It supports AV and S-Video, so if you have a S-Video cable for your Xbox I recommend using this, since this is the clearest quality you get.
