    I would like to develop open source HW accessory for XBOX, is there a place where I could...


    OK, this might be unusual but I have built on open source app (axodox/Lux) driving standard low cost HW ($35) which can provide adaptive bias backlighting for displays for Windows. Some videos likely describe it better:

    I would like to make this work on Xbox. However it seems that Microsoft Xbox accessory developer support websites are all designed for companies. But I have also see them more open to open source projects, I wonder how could I get in contact with them without having a company?

    (I mean I could envision a kickstarter with this, once it already works, and there enough interest in it, still keeping the software open source though.)

    :)

    Where can i find the official Xbox controller asset?

    No, I mean an official place where i can download documents (like PNG,PSD) of the Xbox controller. Like branding resource
    Besides these two pages with the manual information:

    https://support.xbox.com/xbox-one/accessories/xbox-one-wireless-controller

    https://support.xbox.com/xbox-one/accessories/xbox-one-standard-controller-info

    I would then refer you to this page to see the Microsoft Public Relations contacts if you're looking for a license or permission to use pictures or any other requests:

    https://news.microsoft.com/microsoft-public-relations-contacts/

    If you need information on developer software see here:

    https://www.xbox.com/developers

    Will the Zoo Limit be increased anytime soon?

    Do you have a source to Microsoft directing requests to the developer?

    I haven't seen much attention to the game from Microsoft. I actually didn't expect the recent DLC release either. Is there a place where they talk about the game?

    It's hard to say which accessories will be back comp on the new Xbox with out more information. It would be nice if it was like a PC where we could just download new drivers and use or legacy accessories.

    OUYA might compete with next gen?

    [quote user="voteDC"]

    Do you really need a OUYA development kit when it is running Android? Why would it not run regular Android apps?

    [/quote]It would depend on what you want to do with it? No, you don't "need" a Development Kit for an Open Source but it's kinda the difference between two nightclubs. One is just a nightclub and only god knows truly what's inside.
    The other will have a doorman that knows your name and greets you, a waitress that knows what drinks you like and a host that introduces people to you.

    You don't "really need" it but it would be very beneficial to those who wish to use it to the fullest extent. I'm sure after enough time even the Open Source Version could be muddled through. But even then it would still depend on Encryption and other Methods
    of DRM making it more difficult. Open Source doesn't mean all inclusive access.

    Purchased xbox live gold 20% off deal did not recieve free game

    Xbox Support claims to have no knowledge of this promotion and suggested contacting the Dangerous Spacetime developers. I don't like this solution as it places the blame on the devs and not on the Xbox storefront, which posted the promotion. Anyway, the
    developer's site is: http://www.asteroidbase.com/

    I think it would be best if MS could resolve this issue for us. Thanks.
