Baby steps for XBox One reverse engineering (running win32 applications)
Developer XVMM over at GBATemp published a tutorial + tools that allows people to poke the console for a few hidden details, and run “regular” Win32 applications (except, without any sort of graphic rendering), instead of typical UWP applications. He hopes the explanation could help tinkerers getting started in investigating the system.
The developer insists that this is not a breakthrough or an exploit, simply leveraging some of the debugging features provided in the “developer mode” that any Xbox One user can have access to.
XVMM published a visual c++ template that should allow people to compile and run win32 apps on the console. Again, these will only be “command line” kind of apps, with no real clarification at the moment about how limited these might be.
The goal for now is to see what people can dig about the system from this finding. The developer also shared basics on how to explore the filesystem on the console.
Details and full tutorial + files at the source below.

Finally some good news.

I Miss a lot xbox mods, good times 🙁
Xbox One contains a win32 subsystem ? I guess UWP is not powerful enough for a console.
xbox one OS is based on windows 10 ya dingbat, of course it does. Windows 10 doesn’t just run UWP. “Power” doesn’t enter the equation.
not all “win10 devices” have win32, otherwise you can run Windows 95 apps on xbox & win10 phones.
yes i miss xbox scene too, rgh was cool.
Many hackers have claimed its a very secure console, so definitely its a challenging platform for developers. Rather than say oh nobody cares, its an xbox, why not take it as a challenge.
Finally some good news.

hmm … something like
npm install -g node-jslinux
npm install -g typed-array-stuff-ported-working
npm install
jslinux
more on its npm page
lol xbox linux
Lol
Finally some good news.
