One does not simply walk into Microsoft to buy a dev kit.
I had to.

How much?

You can pick up dev xbox's on ebay occasionally..

Anyway, yes you can add +64mb of ram to a xbox, but it works only with 128mb of ram with a debug bios(XDK) wich doesn't work fine with halo 2 because the halo 2 default.xbe use only the 64mb of ram.

Ok, enough XDK discussion. In addition, I'm sure there are plenty of legal issues with selling XDKs.

Nice picture man! I'm not a fan of the horizon in the distance, but it's still a sweet shot. Good work!

Needs more high res tbh.

One last thing on the ram discussion. I do believe it's been proven to be the most difficult of xbox mods. So, no, it's not easy to do...in the slightest. Plus, there isn't a whole lot it would help with....XBMC would run better but that's not worth it. I like the Zanzi pic

It may have broken an NDA for the original developer to have sold them, but for the buyer and sellers after that, I believe they become fair game.

You can edit the header of the .xbe to use all 128MBs of RAM.

Whatever. Like I said before, stop talking about it.

Sweet ghost, Shade. I have a feeling that there's more to it than meets the eye, though...

If you only like 640x480 shots, still make a high res and resize it down that size... as the stitching methods often hide the aliasing from the Halo 2 shots. That's probably why Bungie's shots look better aswell, they have the anti aliasing whereas Yelo does not. I think.

Hard-wired.
The correct term would be 'Soldered'.

They're both the correct term.
I study electronics engineering at college so i would know.

Buy, maybe. But if you made one it wouldnt matter. Xbox games are made to run with the amount of ram thats in it. There are tools to get rid of it but buying the ram would cost alot(i think) and then you would have to put it in(no easy task).

A moderator has said twice now, to stop talking about it. I suggest you listen, for your sake.
