Yeah, I'm thinking this green bastard is the console to own in 2025.

Literally just brought mine out of storage two days ago and have it hooked up to a CRT. Working controllers, and a small library. Might just grab some roms to load on the HDD. Any favorites or recommendations?

I like Mercenaries and might go back to that again. I actually never fully played Scrapland but it looked like a lot of fun. I wish it had Rogue Squadron on it.

The default response on someone who's lost in life

>>712660497
Carve, Conker Live n Reloaded, Dead or Alive 3, Midtown Madness 3, Wreckless and Double Steal the 2nd clash, Mechassault, Blinx, Crimson Skies

>>712660573
Sorry if "a person who is lost in life" managed to hurt your fanboy feelings about a shitty console that fooled people into thinking they would have access to amazing graphics by paying only $300.

>>712661358
Crazy xbox was doing ps3 games on 2000 hardware

>>712658421 (OP)
god the og xbox controller was hideous

>>712658421 (OP)
Its a fine console. Just wish mine was still working. I think the disc drive laser is fucked. It goes on and works its just that I can't play any games.

>>712661664
softmod it with an endgame exploit.

>>712661358
HOLY SOVL

>>712661664
>he didn't mod it
Why the fuck wouldn't you to do that? Esepcially after they pulled X-box Live?

>>712661358
>Sorry if "a person who is lost in life" managed to hurt your fanboy feelings
What?

>>712661920
I thought Endgame was just the exploit. How is the dash modded?

>>712662167
It's UIX-Lite, endgame lets you initiate exploits thru the controller ports (so either a usb flash drive with an adapter or an xbox MU.) Something like Skeleton key can get you started so you can run something like Rocky5.

>>712662156
What a weird thing he said, check the archive for how often he posts those images. Weird crusade from an unwell person.

I have no clue why future consoles from any company couldn't be assed to have a feature where you could use any generations UI.
The fact that the OG Xbox's UI was locked to that console it a crime and that's coming from a PlayStation fan.

>>712662336
>What a weird thing he said, check the archive for how often he posts those images. Weird crusade from an unwell person.
I could tell he wasn't right in the head just from how he made his posts. I don't even care that much about the Xbox. I have damn near every console. I just wanted to poke the bear. Schizo's impress me with the weird shit they say sometimes.

>>712662354
I miss the Blades and the XMB
>Retroarch uses XMB
yeah but its an absolute mess, holy shit

I got one when the ps3 came out because the person just got a ps3 and was getting rid of the xbox. It had dead or alive vollyball and the guy game. I was like 13 and boy those games were fun just had to lock my door so my mom wouldnt see what I was playing

>>712662556
The gay minimalism of modern UIs is so tasteless. It's like they're ashamed of what they are.

>>712662556
I really loved the Vitas UI and theme. Whoever made that entire UI and whoever composed the music for the system were brilliant.
I WISH I could use it for my PS5 somehow

>>712661920
>>712662090
Haven't even turned it on in over 10 years. It is not the clock capacitor either. I checked and there was no battery leak. I also decided to remove it as was instructed.

>>712662858
Turn it on today and get the softmod stuff

>>712662691
Yeah its bad jesus,
>Dead eyed bootleg avatar staring at you everytime you launch something

Thanks I hate it I will not buy a modern Xbox console

>>712662978
nice webms

>>712662739
>I really loved the Vitas UI and theme.
Really? It was garbage next to the XMB.

>Let's make a touch-screen UI on a device with buttons! :)
Statements made by the utterly deranged.

>>712663341
TY

>>712662691
And it still feels like there's no sign of it stopping. I though at some point that companies would stop doing this, but it seems like they're doubling down now.

>>712663467
To each his own.
I always thought XMB way way too simple of a UI.
Imo PS2 and Vitas UI are far better than the XMB.
To me the XMB isn't too far off in design philosophy as the modern UI's are.
It has that "get to the point" corporate feel to it.

>>712663563
>but it seems like they're doubling down now
Why do you think AAA is collapsing?
They've been doing that for years.

>>712662978
Nah that is okay I got too much shit to play these days. I only have a mild interest in a few Xbox games anyways. One day I'll play the Otogi games I am sure.

>>712662978
I still remember when my buddy and I accidentally unlocked Foundation. Cool little hidden things like that don't exist anymore.

>>712658421 (OP)
>Killed gaming in just 6 years
>Still sticking around because they don't want to leave a market that's instantly going to become successful after they step out
Why did Microsoft do it?
>>712662691
Modern UIs are practically thrown together at the last minute, because that's typically when the team gets any actual direction or final decision that won't be contradicted.
>Need this done next week. Just throw in a character render, all of the tessellating icons we made and some particle effects.
>>712663563
It's not a conscious choice, it's the lack of a choice.
>>712664279
AAA collapsed in 2012 and they were already collapsing after 2005, it's why every game started going multiplat after starting off as exclusives.

>>712664736
>Cool little hidden things like that don't exist anymore.
Yes they do, just not on AAA trash

>>712664821
Not really, they were seeing massive super fast growth since late 7th Gen and it kind of stopped at around 2017 or so.
If you're talking creatively, yeah they were shit for a long time, Xbox Live popularizing DLC fucking killed.

Microsoft really helped to kill the hobby and retards are too busy nostalgiafagging rather than thinking about all that DLC cancer they bought.

>>712665162
DLC for the OG X-box was good. All expansions and additional stuff that added value to the game. Phantom Dust had DLC skills. Ninja Gaiden had the Hurricane Packs with #1 being a OP Parry System that Itagaki removed in Hurricane Pack 2 to where the Intercept/parry move was lost until someone archived it and got it an installer on Insignia.

KotOR had the ME1 shop that Bioware copied into ME1.

Etc.

It's only when Beth finally moved past Morrowind and introduced Horse Armor that DLC went to shit.

>>712665631
>Map packs and paid online
>Good
No, I don't fucking think so

>>712665831
Yeah it ruled

>>712664843
Yea. That's what I meant.

>>712665930
>I love paying for multiplayer maps that are usually free

Xmutts killed the hobby

>>712666530
>usually free
Name 10 free developer map packs predating xbox

>>712666530
>>I love paying for multiplayer maps that are usually free
They were charged just like that OFFLINE INSTALLER the OP you quoted charged for.

>Morrowind: 2 Expansions
>Pay for
>X-box releases it along with PC as GotY with all DLC

Also you missed the part where:

>>Map packs
Were free.

>B-B-BUT I HAVE TO PAY TO PLAY ON--
I do not give a fuck, you retard. Those were free per your subscription compared to Horse Armor which was $10 + $60/year for Live.

>>712659240
When was it not?

>>712664821
Xbox didn't do shit. It failed.
The Xbox 360 is the one that started it all. The console that began to normalize what is now the norm. A Trojan Horse. Started with a horse skin for a few bucks, but today is a horse skin priced like it's a full game.
From consoles with interesting and ahead of its time technology to just generic pc hardware.
Sony was against all forms of predatory and anti-consumer monetization.
When the damage done by microsoft to the industry became irreversibly, Sony said "well... fuck it" and revamped its entire business, principles and goals with the PS3 revamp in 2009.

>>712667051
Every single PC FPS
>Map Packs were free
Nope, unless you were paying for an Xbox Live subscription.
That's not "free"

Homebrewing and emulation that good? I prefer a Wii, gun props, House of the Dead 2&3 Return, and wrist weights.
I have a Meta Quest 3 though, and a 6600 GPU PC.

>>712667906
Yep, those fags at Sony simply followed Micro$sharts footsteps into anti consumer hell.
And now we're here.

>Call of Duty

Nobody charged for multiplayer maps before Microsoft started charging their Meximutt and trailer trash fanbase.

>>712666530
Both PlayStation and Xbox killed the hobby. Video games are for nerds and kids, consoles were never meant to do anything but play video games, when they started doing more than that, it was the beginning of the end.

>>712668518
Not a single one of these has a free map pack from the developers, but plenty of them have paid for physical DLC.

>>712668796
Xbox killed it, Sony simply copied whatever Microsoft did.

>>712668876

>>712668518
>Nobody charged for multiplayer maps
They kinda did. They were packaged with other features and sold as expansion packs, but they 100% did charge for maps. The difference is that we also had a lot more community-created content that we could grab from fpsbanana or some other site.

Not map packs, that's completely new content

>>712669534
Incorrect: >>712667051
The only goalpost shift attempt was made here: >>712669223 by a PC poser.

9 more official free map packs, please.

>>712668934
Sony was the one to bring CD players and DVD players to home consoles so they killed it and Microsoft killed it further because instead of keeping those elements separate like Sony did, they wanted to blur the lines bringing normalfags in. I hate both but god, I hate Microsoft so much worse, those faggots even started the make game development corporate and globalized push.

>>712669770
>9 more official free map packs, please saar

>>712669883
>No further argument
I accept your concession.

>>712667051
Umm Valve and Epic gave free maps because it was the norm

>>712668796
Why do you think there were no microtransactions, subscription services for online acess and paid DLCs on the PS2 and on PS3 (during its early years)
Sony said abolished it, but was later forced to bend the knee

>>712669802
>those faggots even started the make game development corporate and globalized push.
Yep, my favorite cancerous decisions from them are still Games for Windows Lives and forcing Valve to charge for L4D maps on Xbox 360 while they were free on PC and PS3.

>>712668876
jesus christ the cope from this post, i can smell it coming off you like i can smell the fried mince you just put in your burrito
what makes thirdies such bootlickers? think its because they're starstruck by the comforts of capitalism?

>>712670258
God, I absolutely fucking hate Microsoft. I'm glad Xbox is dead and Valve won.

Thank you for conceding. PC gamers are the biggest posers.

>>712670405
What an unhinged melt down.

>>712670471
Lets not forget how they almost killed PC gaming
>Paid or outright bought off PC devs

Literal fucking locusts

Also shit, but not even a fraction as bad as Microshit

>>712670706
PC gaming killed itself really, Microsoft didn't need to do anything to help with that.

But very comfortable for your hands

For me, it's using the Wii as a 240p emulator box

>>712663008
My disappointment when I got an Xbox series X and it had the exact same UI as the Xbox One was immense.
At least the rows are less ugly than the distinct boxes of the bottom row in your image.

>>712664821
Sony is the one that killed gaming. Xbox is barely even a competitor. After sony out competed everyone they quit making games since they don't have to.

OG Xbox > 360 > Series > One

>>712671890
>Sony is the one that killed gaming.
Delusional
Sony helped for sure, but again, they were merely following Microsofts anti consumer push.

Dude I loved this game and the stage interactivity! Don't why it got shit on so hard.

>>712670706
Yeah, Nintendo and Valve are bad, but they both pale in comparison to Sony and Microsoft, them taking over will only save gaming despite them being shit for other reasons, at least they're tolerable.

>letting you play custom soundtracks during games
Why did nobody copy this?

>>712671890
Sony started the cancer but kept it separate from gaming, Microsoft pushed it directly into gaming and then got Sony and third parties on board. Microsoft is an even bigger cancer than Sony which is probably why their gaming ventures died first.

>>712672610
The limb damage was cool but it was just an average fighting game
