With Internet-based survey, which included 20 names variations the “Xbox” name was voted the most and it became the new name of the Microsoft Console. When it was first announced, the Company which purchased the rights to sell the console didn’t like the name.
Initially, Xbox was named DirectXbox in order to emphasize the use of DirectX API in the console. Later the battle on the game consoles market continued with next generation of Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. It helped the Company to enter the gaming consoles market easily and even push the existing players to the side. The Microsoft was a huge Company by that time and it was dominating various IT sectors. Anyhow, Microsoft have finished second in number of units sold leaving Sega and Nintendo behind, but still lost the first place to the PlayStation 2 by a large margin. Xbox was the first independent project of Microsoft's on the gaming consoles market after a joint project with SEGA Company to develop a version of the Windows CE operating system for the Dreamcast console. It appeared on the market in November of 2001 in order to compete with already settled giants such as PlayStation 2, Dreamcast by Sega and GameCube by Nintendo. Note: As of yet, there is no way to verify if XDG3 games were burned properly.Xbox is the first gaming console developed by Microsoft. However, not many people know how to burn the new XDG3 games, so that is why we are going to do it in today's Null Byte! I'm going to be teaching you all how to do this under Linux, since there is next-to-nothing for documentation on it.īe on the look out for pre-XDG3 and XDG3 guides for Windows soon. The new firmware has allowed us to burn discs with a different layer-break and the drive will read it and play it as if it has been burned properly (identical to the factory burns). So how on earth can we burn our fully-legal back-ups that we should rightfully be able to have? Well, on October 9th, 2011 c4eva and the good people at iExtreme released the iExtreme LT+ 2.0 firmware, which allows you to play XDG3 games, and back-ups! It allows the same data to be read from normal dual-layer DVDs, even if they are written to different sectors of the disc. This burns an extra gigabyte of data to the inner-ring of the dual-layer DVD, which is not burnable with commercial disc burners. This is because Microsoft has come out with a new disc format to fight piracy, called XDG3. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
