Question about Xbox

I apologize if this question has been posed before. Has anyone actually downloaded Irrlicht to an XBox console. It seems like since it supports Direct X9 it could. However, I posed this question to a forum of another game engine that uses Irrlicht and the response was "We don't have a microsoft approved game engine."

So has anyone actually got a working game with the Irrlicht game engine on XBox360?

I think someone tried to do it and may or may not have succeeded but it's certainly not going to be just a case of oh look DX9, win. there's a lot more to it than that!

Without the Microsoft Xbox SDK it would be very unlikely anyone has deployed Irrlicht to the Xbox console.

That said Xbox has made strides to allow people to enjoy the benefits of developing for the Xbox with Microsoft brand tools.

openXDK should be ready to use. it really works good with sdl games.

There are macros in there for compiling Irrlicht for the Xbox. You can use the OpenXDK and SDL device if you want to develop legally, it should also work with the official XDK but for legal reasons remains unsupported. If you do get it working with either development kit then please submit any changes you made as patches, so others can benefit in future.
