Two decades it took a secret from the Xbox original to come to light, but today we can see this hidden screen that was inside the panel itself. With the preparations for the 20th anniversary of the brand, this seems to be the opportune moment to unveil the last mysteries of a console that made history.
The information was originally revealed by the Kotaku portal, from where they reported that the data had reached them through an anonymous source. Some time ago, a way to see the full credits of the console had been released, but this new find shows the entire development team of the panel of the device.
A lost list inside the original Xbox
Now looking at the list of requirements that had to be submitted to obtain the list, it is no mystery to understand why this secret remained hidden for so many years. Let’s see the steps in detail:
1. The first thing to do is go to the “Music” menu and insert an audio CD.
2. From the Audio CD screen select “Copy,” “Copy” again, and then “New Soundtrack.”
3. From there, it will be necessary to rename the soundtrack as follows (without quotation marks) “Timmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!” (The letter “y” 26 times, that is to say until almost filling the box without counting the last “!”).
4. Take a break during the process of rippeo of the disk.
5. When the process is complete, exit to the main menu.
6. Select “Settings” and then “System Info”.
7. If you did all the steps correctly, you should see the “Xbox Dashboard Team” developer list.
For 20 years people were deprived of seeing the names of Victor Blanco, Sakphong Chanbai, Bradford Christian and Jim Helm on their screen, but luckily that injustice is corrected even though none of these names continue to work at Microsoft.
The source that revealed these instructions stated that “I had decided to release the information so that people know that these people existed, as it was highly unlikely that anyone would discover at this point how to find this hidden screen.” This writer fervently agrees.
The next console battle, is it for accessibility?
This Xbox initiative seems to follow a growing trend in the technology market, in which brands are betting heavily on developing accessible services. In accordance with Collaborative Haus Marketing, it is becoming more common for websites to use simpler HTML, so that they are compatible with helper programs. There are also more custom interfaces to make it much easier to use, such as the Microsoft console.
