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!

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!

It never was "just a video game", Halo ever since it's inception has been multimedia.
Since when did so called "fans" develop such a hardened hatred for a thing that's always been a core part of the franchise despite whatever bitter flip flopping ex Bungie dev says?

Today my new novel HALO: PARASITE'S WAKE hits the shelves! It's a very 'horror' @Halo novel, and I had so much fun writing it. Big thanks to my editor @ed_schlesinger, and @haruspis and Jeff who I worked with at Halo Studios, and to @Rythayze for the awesome cover!

Old School Bungie, Halo 3 DLC Work we did on Orbital. Level Design by Tyson Greene, Architecting by Frank Capezzuto (a great mentor) and I did the environment finishing work.
At the time it was the first map which utilized nearly 100% normal maps, high poly to low poly and custom modeled texture strips. Previously the shaders were only allocated to character models in that pipeline. It was a controversial decision we made because there was fear that too many textures loaded into memory would break it. Luckily it worked and from that point forward the rest of the Environment artists had a little more freedom to explore more high fidelity visuals (for the time).

Nearly 21 years for the impossible to happen. This is a tried and true softmod for the Xbox 360!!! Copy some files, do an installation, and you've got your system permanently modded on coldboot.
A big thank you to @Grimdoomer for making this happen 🖤
Here's the first release of the Xbox 360 Peer Pressure softmod. Blog post will be out in a few weeks with all the technical details. Barring any critical bugs I'll be "hibernating" for the next 2 months to recoup my sanity from working on this project github.com/grimdoomer/Xbox36…
