    Does anyone here have an XBox 360

    Hi Dom,

    the XBox360 game creation stuff sounds very interesting. Atm I don't have a box, but that could change if I really see a possibility to make a game for the console myself

    So my question is: Assuming the things you are testing are working, how is someone else able to play "my game". I cannot presume anyone has this Game creator license, can I? I mean, I am the creator... the others should be the players!

    Please bring light into the dark

    Does anyone here have an XBox 360

    Hi Dirk,
    you only need a Creator Club licence to deploy to an XBox 360 at the moment. You can deploy an XNA game to Windows XP/Vista users without any problems as you don't need a licence for that. Just package it up like any other game and make sure that the users have DirectX 9 or 10 and the XNA runtimes for Windows.

    Microsoft are reluctant to allow just anyone to be able to download and play stuff on their XBox 360, hence why you have to go through the Creator Club stuff for that. I think eventually they will allow it once they are sure there are no security holes that can be exploited through managed code. The nice thing is write one set of code and deploy to Win32 and console. Sure you have to have the odd IFDEF XBOX for things like Mouse support and the odd difference between shaders, but these can be kept to a minimum.

    If you want to start the good thing is that all the software is free, download the Visual Studio Express, then Game Studio Express and buy yourself an XBox 360 controller ( as all the examples makes use of it and don't work with other Joysticks ) that will work with Windows XP. If you plan to code using Chrome, then download the command line compiler to get started.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you very much for the information Dom.

    I will think about it and read a little more. Sounds very interesting. But it only makes sense to me if I can deploy games to any XBox360 users... would be really cool. I guess it would be the first console with freeware/shareware "support"

    Hi Jeremy,
    I just found out the version I uploaded a few days ago was still pointing to the Win32 assemblies. Please download the latest version which is about 1MB and let me know how it goes.

    Chrome code does indeed work on the Xbox 360. One of the guys from the UK XNA forum tested it out for me. The thread in question is...

    And a screen shot of it will be available soon.

    I actually think it may be possible to get it working on the XBox without the C# wrapper. That will be my next test.

    OK A new pure Chrome XBox360 game package is now available from the old URL
    http://www.pascalgamedevelopment.com...Xbox360.ccgame

    Once it's confirmed that this works on the XBox 360 I'll get started on an article outlining my journey and how to get it all working.

    Time like this I wish I had an Xbox 360, so I don't have to rely on anyone.

    Well this is actually quite inspiring indeed.

    Those XBox 360 prices are insane though. Over $500 CAD with tax!
