#1 Truth and Reconciliation enjoyer. Mostly here for Halo shitposts. Occasionally I make or work on something worth showing people.

“Cortana, all I need to know is did we lose them?”
Finishing the final touches on my Pillar of Autumn-themed 1.6 Original Xbox! The skin came out a little dark, but I’m still happy with it.
8TB HDD, Project Stellar w/ Stellar RGB.
Skin designed by me, Jewel from Custom Xbox Direct (RIP)

It’s done! I turned the @Hyperkin Duke's jewel into a functional screen‼️
Custom firmware, live Halo CE data from the game, and yes, it runs Doom!
🎬 Custom boot animations and sounds
🎮 On controller menu for animations, sounds and lighting
🔴 Live Halo CE HUD and motion tracker (OpenCE with custom hooks)
🔊 Custom speaker and reactive LED lighting solution
🧩 Per Game modding support
👹 Shareware Doom running NATIVELY on the controller
🚧 OG Xbox, wireless and a drop-in LCD board version are on the way!

After 25 years, the original Xbox's last hidden ROM has finally been dumped: the CPU's microcode!
This has been a goal of mine for over 6 years, and I've worked on it off and on ever since.
Over the last couple of weeks, while building inventory and shipping orders, I've also been running hardware tests 24/7. This poor Xbox has rebooted over 50,000 times in those two weeks alone.
And it finally paid off.
The dump covers the entire 4,096-line microcode address space. The ROM itself occupies 3,200 of those lines, roughly 12 KB of microcode.
I can't overstate how huge this feels. After all these years, I finally have it.
A full write-up is coming next year!

The Duke Mod is nearing completion! It’s absolutely packed full of a bunch of ridiculous features. It even natively runs a *certain* game that’s famous for being hacked onto all sorts of random hardware. I’ll have a showcase video up soon. Here’s a teaser for now. 😉 #ControllerMods #Xbox #Hyperkin

Huge milestone! I now have realtime data being pushed to the LCD. I was able to keep the original microcontroller on the LCD board and froze it by shorting the clock crystal and manually controlling the LCD transistors. All of that so an ESP32 could take control of the LCD and display anything. Now I have to tie the ESP into the controller’s type C port! The possibilities are endless! #hyperkin #xbox #halo #cortana
Dumped the Jewel LCD animation for your viewing pleasure. I also learned that chip probes suck ass. If anyone has a cool Cortana aesthetic video or edit, I'd love to put it on this chip! #cortana #hyperkin #xbox #Halo

Got some fun stuff in the works for all you Hyperkin fans on PC. Great thing about the Duke is there’s a ton of room in the case to add whatever you want. I’ll be exploiting the lcd next. 😁
Fortunately the drive on this kit is still functional and contains builds. This kit was owned by a “Sneaky Rabbit Studios”- who are credited for the original concepts for Karaoke Revolution. For those of you who might be interested, I have backed up a full image of this DVT4’s drive. archive.org/details/hdd_2026…

It's bittersweet looking back on Halo Online/ElDewrito. Seeing as how Project Reclaimer became it's successor.
I loved ElDewrito as one of the best ways to play Halo on PC, but it just couldn't keep up.
Thank you to small but passionate community who kept it alive for so long

Tonight we tested the 32 player, 64mb ram version of Warthog for the OG Xbox.
Them @HaloClassicHCH boys do NOT fuck around when testing.
So much good data tonight!
