Preface

I started this tool as a for-fun project with no original aim (Much like Easy-Build NT5). I saw the Xbox source more as the NT based tree, than the Xbox console code.. Which makes this tool a bit different I guess. One drawback is I only know Batch script and basic C# (See Easy-Build NT5's Easy-Patcher)

Sadly I have been out of the Xbox modding scene for years, but I plan on setting up an old Xbox to do 'real world' testing in the future!

What's the aim of this project?

Originally just to build the tree easily.. (But it seems to have gained interest in the right places) Now the aim is to make an easy-to-use tool for the Xbox modders out there, The default build system is.. somewhat clunky I feel, this aims to allow building as much as possible from the source, and place/pack/copy what you need, where you need..

It is in VERY early stages still, I will aim to add features as I figure them out, so that there is less time to wait for using said features, but will cause lots of little commits..

Is it a complete replacement?

Not initially, it is more of a 'front-end'.. but the way I have made this, allows me to modify parts of the default environment if areas need fixing/tweaking, This script will have to potential to totally change the build environment in many ways..

What Patches will be released?

Very few actual source code patches (i.e makefiles, C# source, C++ source etc.). Because I am not well educated in these coding languages I am not confident in submitting my own patches, unless I believe they are worthy and only 'fix' not change or add functions

I will however try to:

  • Release patches for files/folders that can be build, but are not in the Default 'dirs' files for that specific item
  • 'Fix' any broken/incorrect Environment variables/switches if they can be fixed with Easy-Build or a self made script to run.
  • Modified versions of scripts currently present, take xcopybins.cmd.. This is adapted to place the files into the %_NT386TREE% directory, set up in a way that represents how it gets pushed to an actual Console/DevKit.. These are the kind of Script modifications, these will always come as a new file unless I HAVE to to replace.
  • Updates to leaked source code i.e other Complex tree patches as they become available (VHD Users only)

How Can You Help?

  • Provide feedback on tests using Easy-Build.
  • Suggest edits if you feel they are needed or would be useful.
  • Support the new wave of OG Xbox Modders!
