Never proven he wiped it just that
>durr Windows cant read it it must be empty

Decently sure the story is he wiped it because he thought it was corrupt if windows cant read it. Could be wrong though

He threw the hard drive on the ground with all the other parts and shuffled it with his feet
Pretty sure he rekt it seeing how he handles the shit

what was there to gain from it anyways

Link me faggot.

The best, BEST part was that the made a shitty cheap poorfag build into it from old parts and even bitched that he has no money.
I would have loved to see his face once he found out how much he could have gotten for it if he didn't destroy it.

This was months ago. If not over a year.

don't forget he had some incredibly entry level gaming hardware in it and unironically posted it to the pcmasterrace sub leddit before either he or the mods backtracked and tagged the thread humor.

>complaining about reddit being reddit
/thread

What is that?
I dont care for microsoft things.

>shuffled it with his feet
Just stop, he is a dumbfuck but please.

Maybe nothing, maybe shitloads.
All depends what it was used for and what the hard drive contained.

Sometimes unreleased games, sometimes sources for released games or even Xbox specific software.

Mind you, this was an early developer unit NOT a normal dev unit, basically a normal PC with software to run Xbox software.
Aka a unlocked Xbox, easily could have been used to replicate it on newer machines.

This

Reddit is fucking retarded, remember the people who constantly find source codes for games and give it back?

Games that aren't even sold or made money out of anymore.

>Satire/Joke
don't let that confuse you
what happened was very real, the jokes about him

>case modders are tasteless and cancerous
more news at 11
it isn't just a reddit thing, those faggot hipsters are everywhere and they always target the nicest hardware to destroy like late model Sun Ultras or high-end Power Mac G5s even though their cases are sub-par and only actually worth anything because of what is in them

>those faggot hipsters are everywhere and they always target the nicest hardware to destroy like late model Sun Ultras or high-end Power Mac G5s even though their cases are sub-par and only actually worth anything because of what is in them
Like you just said, news or shit.
I see them buy retro hardware, fine and working, for hipster prices and then they just GUT IT.

What the fuck.

why can't we have a good xbox emulator? It was x86 based and used directx9

Cause no one gives a fuck. The not shit games were ported to PC.

>inb4 Gunvalkyrie is shit

>The not shit games were ported to PC.
Wrong.

Jet Set Radio Future. Gunvalkyrie. Steel Battalion. Breakdown. Forza Motorsport. MechAssault. Blinx. Panzer Dragoon Orta. Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Ninja Gaiden Black. ToeJam & Earl III. Project Gotham Racing.

unfortunately, that was real .

RIP XBOX emulation

It's his devkit and he can do whatever he wants with it, (((socialist))) degenerate. He may crash it if he like to. Do you know the concept of private property, mentally ill?

He's such a dummy, he hide behind his father's back every time someone made an argument.

He even said it was okay because nobody wanted it when his father asked a few years ago on reddit how much it is worth.
BUT PEOPLE DID ASK HIM TO BUY IT.

Fucking family of retards.

Naw his dad posted it to a dead subreddit, got no replies, and figured nobody wanted it.

What are you even talking about?
He destroyed it, then found out how much it was worth and started crying.
This was a mistake. I won't care more if he knew what it was and destroyed it, but the fact that he didn't and made a huge mistake, makes me just sad.

Also no, it's property of Microsoft. Those where given out on a contract basis, you can't privately own one, even when you buy it from a liquidation sale.

He still got offers too.

>it's property of Microsoft
No. The company who used this devkit was renting it from Microsoft, not this guy. He didn't sign shit. Its his property now.

Yes and it should have been returned to Microsoft instead of his dad picking it up and bringing it home.
No, check the recent PS4 shit that has been going on, they can just take it from you because where ever you personally buy it wasn't authorized to sell it in the first place.

You buy a stolen car in cash, it can be taken back and the person who you bought it from has to pay you back, not the person it was stolen from.

>He didn't sign shit.
that's the problem
it's not his, he didn't sign shit

No its not if he didn't signed anything.
>OY VEY GOYIM THIS IS (((OWNED))) BY MICROSOFT YOU MUST GIVE TO ME STUFF YOU BUYED ON YOUR MONEY
If he buyed it - its his.

Not how it works.
Anyways, won't respond to your shitty bait anymore, everybody else already knows this and if you're being unironic, you're just dumb.

Og Xbox emulation scene could really use one of these. The current emulation is far from perfect.
Not only do emulators serve as a compatibility layer, a proper emulator also serves as documentation for the original hardware. If a decent emulator is never written, the continued existence of the environment and the usefulness of software written for it relies on old, ancient silicon, plastic and solder.
The Xbox is endangered and this dev kit could've held something to aid it's preservation.

are you ready bois?

>If you guys wanted it so bad my father came on Reddit a couple years ago and got no takers and now you suffer the consequences

good to know
next time you're out I'll have my friend break into your place and change the locks
then I'll buy the new keys and the place from him for a few bucks, it's mine then, don't start bitching

>OY VEY THE GOYIM KNOWNS GOYIM YOU MIST GIVE YOUR STUFF FOR FREE TO (((CORPORATION))) BECAUSE SOME SHITTY PAPER THAT YOU DIDNT EVEN SEEN SAYS ITS OURS

His dad got offers.
Also his dad never said he wanted to sell it, just what the price would be for such a thing.

This is actually a pretty good analogy.
There are people who rent apartments and then falsely sell those apartments to 3rd parties.
Those 3rd parties have no legal right to be in that apartment, even when they paid for it.

This is a real thing and you know how it always ends, the 3rd party get's forcefully thrown out.

>break
No one has broken and stolen this Xbox devkit, degenerate. It was buyed from actual company who developed on it.

Stop arguing with that retard.
Corporations don't need this kind of defence on the internet. The user is only here to derail the thread.

>Power Mac G5s
Nah

>buyed
Fuck off you ESL mongoloid.

>pristine Xbox development kit
it's worse than that, that's no regular dev kit, that's a one-of-a-kind xbox prototype

>one-of-a-kind
No, the data maybe, but we'll never know.

well, not literally the only one, but less common than the kits that look more like actual xboxes

they're the last actually good general-purpose RISC desktops my dude

they look fucking great on the inside too, something that casemodding them always ruins without fail

Yep. the ones that look like normal xbox's are just debug kits. unlocked xbox consoles with extra ram to test games.

I thought the 360 dev kits were G5 PowerMacs?

>mac

Fuck off mactoddler the world doesnt revolve around you

I always cringe when i see people take a dremel to their insides.

This is OG xbox not 360

How much it'll cost for me to buy ps2/ps3/PSP/Xbox 360 devkits or katana?
All modern x86 are risc

no, the debug kit is exactly the same shape as a normal xbox (not taller like the dev kit)

Too bad they're obsolete :/

Powermac G5 quad is still pretty usable. 16 GB ram 4 cores and shit.

>space heater with less power than my phone

If neckbeards here say that x60 is usable, the g5 is more than usable.

x60 isn't usable. It can't run a contemporary web page.

*reads this on a x60 that is my main laptop*

you wat?

The problem is in modern web pages, not in x60. My fucking x230 lags on some pages in qutebrowser

Javascript

Firefox Quantum is a good operating system.

My existence.

it's not about jerking off to some gay ass ISA design philosophy buried under a million layers of abstraction, when you talk about a RISC desktop you're talking about the entire exotic or semi-exotic package that came with that class of systems, of which the G5s are easily the best of
who gives a fuck if it does what is expected of it
we're not all just looking for a cheap youtube/porn terminal

>It was buyed
Okay you can stop falseflagging as Sup Forums on Sup Forums you fucking cunt. Go back to r*ddit or leftypol.

It's funny because this kid will regret this for the rest of his life.

It's one thing to fuck up and maybe gut the system not really knowing anything about it.

It's another thing to go through the hard drive without consulting with anyone, REFORMATTING it, yes, reformatting a PATA or IDE HDD, something that isn't even easy in the first place (You need a specific enclosure for it, which isn't exactly in everyones drawers).

THEN have the audacity to defend yourself and justify your actions like a spoiled brat, THEN double down on it and attack everyone else.

The only redeeming factor to Gen Z is that they're waking up to the SJW and aren't faggots like Millennials. If they can fix our retarded country, then losing xbox emulation might be a small price to pay..

>All modern x86 are risc
This is wrong though.
Simplified CISC is still CISC.

Maybe you would like to have some experience with things before you start repeating what other retards before you have repeated.

Can't you people read threads? See This came out before the Xbox was even in production.

i'm aware of that

I think everyone gives a fuck if a machine is supposed to perform at, at least low end modern gear

Everyone in the thread seems as angry/disappointed as people are here. What's the difference between reddit and Sup Forums?

what the fuck
the internal instructions that CISC instructions get decoded into are FAR from RISC
they are not a RISC core like you see in ARM or PowerPCs, it's so wrong to call it RISC, it's just a reduced CISC that mimics RISC ideas

>>All modern x86 are risc
x86 is always CISC though, doesn't matter even if it would be running on a pure RISC chip with a translation layer between
the very idea of x86 is CISC, there can't be a RICS x86

>a machine is supposed to perform at, at least low end modern gear
what the fuck are you even talking about
nobody buys a 12 year power mac because they think it's going to replace or stack up well against their modern hardware in any metric, they buy it because it interests them for one reason or another and it does a great job of running the software it was made to run from a time when it was actually worth thousands of dollars

Yeah but they don't buy it for doing tasks, they buy it because they're hipsters. People still use typewriters but are they still a competing technology? No they're obsolete, it's just the aesthetic

Why do these things always happen to r*dditors? There was another faggot who managed to get his hands on a Nintendo Switch in debug mode, his first thougt is obviously sending it back to Nintendo like a good goy.

>projecting this hard
the real hipster is a dipshit like you who doesn't understand or care about the hardware and only thinks of it as a pretty shiny to mindlessly consume web content and play video games with, not the person who buys something knowing what they're getting into and values it just the way it is, challenging themselves to work within its limits or otherwise making it useful again

>Gen Z
>waking up to the SJW and aren't faggots like Millennials.
Why do people believe this again? Some members of Gen Z may be alright but a majority of them are absolute degenerates.

They don't always happen to them but people on reddit will do anything to get those precious upboats so they're much more likely to post about it.

Show me one thing some old shitty Mac can do better than a modern computer

a starting point

are you really this much of a fucking idiot? do you need it spelled out for you?
nobody's claiming an old mac is faster than your phone so stop being so insecure about it, nobody cares
they want to have fun making something old practical again, or experience the past, or experiment with something other than run of the mill wintel/embedded ARM shit
there's no objective numerical advantage drawing people's interest, there never was and never will be

now show me one thing some old shitty Mac case can do better than a modern whitebox case actually built for the hardware going inside it

I never said it was faster than my phone, you autist. I said it was obsolete and you fucking admitted it. It's fucking obsolete

>reformatting a PATA or IDE HDD, something that isn't even easy in the first place (You need a specific enclosure for it, which isn't exactly in everyones drawers).
the fuck are you talking about?

Any proof that was real? I looked at his plebbit account once and he looked like a troll. Either he knew exactly what he had and trolled y'all hard, or he was somehow the perfect storm of idiocy, and I'd bet it was the former.

when did anyone say it wasn't
we said "who fucking cares"

> Gen Z
> waking up to the SJW and aren't faggots
Kids will believe everything they hear and do not perceive information critically.

Then I said everyone cares, because a lot of people care if their computer can be used to compute things. Why do you say "we" when it was one poster that said "who fucking cares"

hello newfag

>stating laws and legal precedents is defending microshaft
Shouldn't you be screaming in the middle of a street right now?

They ported the dragonball z source mod to xbox?

No-one's saying the government or anyone else should have intervened, they're just calling him a retard. Being a libertarian/ancap/whatever you are doesn't mean you're not allowed to judge people.

Would it have been legal to examine the proprietary software running on that machine to make an emulator?

>Then I said everyone cares, because a lot of people care if their computer can be used to compute things
what fucked up definition of "computing things" are you applying to this where a system with up to 16 gigabytes of memory and up to four processors with multiple megabytes of cache attached to disks that can archive and manipulate a library's worth of data cannot "compute things?" this is why you're a fucking idiot. do you think you dumped three grand on a computer just to stare at it with your dick in your hand because an i3 will be faster in 10 years?
> Why do you say "we" when it was one poster that said "who fucking cares"
because multiple people replied to your dipshit post that clearly didn't give a fuck if a ryzen memeripper has bigger geekbench numbers

Probably not, but that won't stop anyone.

>More trap threads than ever
>Fix anything
Hue. Old peopel dien is what will fix it.

He was a poorfag, wouldn't surprise me if his comp before that one had an IDE connector.

Xbox had no games anyways so who cares? Also an Xbox emulator is being made for retroarch so we might get a good one soon.

Literally what difference does it make? The original xbox was garbage with no worthwhile exclusives.
Holy shit those leddit comments are retarded
>m-muh history!
What a joke.
