Some guys at SmartXX managed to get their hands on a few Xbox 360 developer kits and have
posted 40 high resolution shots of the motherboard for our viewing pleasure. If motherboard pictures are your thing
then this is heaven in a .zip file. There are also shots
of a pretty massive power supply, a
new proprietary power plug,
the cabling and
also the USB wired
controller.
I'm not sure exactly how they managed to get three Xbox 360s or what they're doing with them, but it's possible that
they're trying to develop some kind of a mod chip for the console. One of the main
pictures of the Xboxes shows a blue
SmartXX LT OPX, a modchip developed by the SmartXX peeps, posing with the machines. Also listed on the SmartXX site
is an original Xbox running Darwin via a modchip, although that's a
seperate project by an individual sponsored by SmartXX. Soooo, Xbox 360s with SmartXX modchips and old Xboxes running
OS X. Sure, that's enough Xs to make a nun feel seedy, but could these guys be the first to get a working version of OS
X onto the Xbox 360's Triple Core IBM processor?
