 Why would they not just put this little < 512kiB library on the harddisk? Why another ROM which contains the program?
-One could think it is to allow them to upgrade the application easily, but the real reason seems to be different: licensing. As the label on the back notes: "Made under license from Dolby Laboratories". By including the software in the DVD Remote kit, they don't have to pay Dolby for every Xbox sold, but just for every DVD Remote kit sold. This allows them to keep the cost of the Xbox down.

As the label on the back notes: "Made under license from Dolby Laboratories". By including the software in the DVD Remote kit, they didn't have to pay the [[wikipedia:DVD Forum|DVD Forum]] (and apparently also Dolby) for every Xbox sold, but just for every DVD Remote kit sold[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gquAV8f7OAY&t=2059]. This allowed them to keep the cost of the Xbox down.
 Additionally the dongle contains an IR receiver to receive commands from the Remote control.
