Hi all

In our company we have bumch of test/dev xboxes360 (we develop titles for 360 but this is unimportant here Smile).
As (many of) you know micro$oft never added the possibility of running retail titles on dev/test kits.
There was a plan to add this to xdk in the past, but that does not happend.
The question: Is there any _software_ way to run retail titles (or backups of retail titles) on test/dev kits ?
Say after work we want to play some xbox360 titles on our testkits, we may flash'em but we are not allowed to install any modchips on them (probably none of existing modchips will work witch testkits anyway Smile).
Is there any way to do this ?
Thanks for any ansfers.

Hi xbs_tsttm,

I have heard that you can modify a dev xbox 1 to play retail games but once you have done that you lose all the functionality of the dev box forever. Maybe they may have some tools for the 360 but i doubt it at this stage.
