The first part of the transfer consists of the negated data signal (<code>check</code>).
 +
 +
The data integrity can be confirmed by XOR-ing both parts:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
check = (check_high << 4) | check_low
 +
data = (data_high << 8) | data_low
 +
check ^ data = 0xFFF
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
The <code>check</code>, which marks the start of the transfer{{FIXME|reason=There might be a preamble}}, always starts with 0b0101, therefore the <code>data</code> always starts with 0b1010.

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 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.

====  Infrared signals ====
 +
 +
<!-- The following information has been derived from http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/microsoft/lircd.conf.xbox + own research -->
 +
 +
When infrared signals are received from the Remote Control, they can be read using an interrupt transfer {{FIXME|reason=What interface etc?}}. Each USB payload is 6 bytes long:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
struct {
 +
  uint8_t unk; // always 0x00 (These could be length high bits?)
 +
  uint8_t length_low; // always 0x06
 +
  uint8_t data_low;
 +
  uint8_t data_high; // only lower 4 bit are used (Always 0x0A with offical Microsoft remote)
 +
  // Milliseconds since last press (will clamp to 0xFFFF when no button was pressed in a long time).
 +
  // A value close to 0x0040 is returned for continously holding a button.
 +
  // When holding, the value often goes back and forth between 0x0040 / 0x0041.
 +
  // It is unknown if the receiver / remote intentionally does this.
 +
  uint8_t timer_low;
 +
  uint8_t timer_high;
 +
};
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
When holding two or more buttons at once on the remote the IR receiver stops sending interrupt transfers. The last transfer will be the first button pressed.
 +
 +
The keycodes read from an official Microsoft IR remote are as follows:

The firmware locatedn on the DVD dongle is accessed over USB by a vendor specific control request.
 +
 
 +
The setup packet for the control transfer should have the below format:

=== USB Protocol ===
+
bRequest = 1 can be used to obtain the header of the ROM. This is a 6 byte header in the form:
 +
<pre>
 +
typedef struct
 +
{
 +
    uint16_t version;  //The version of the embedded ROM
 +
    uint32_t rom_size; //In bytes
 +
} xremote_info_t;
 +
</pre>
  
{{FIXME|reason=Partially documented in JayFoxRox/xbox-tools on github}}
+
The rom size can then be used with bRequest = 2 to obtain the entire ROM contents. It should be noted that the ROM header obtained with bRequest = 2 is also present at the first 6 bytes of the full ROM image. So it is possible to obtain the ROM header info with bRequest = 2 requesting the first 6 bytes.

=== Hacking ===
 
 
As the dashboard presumably downloads the code from the ROM into the memory of the Xbox, this could be a hardware hack requiring no hardware modifications. The XBE loader for the DVD image is different from the usual XBE loader. However, the XBE is still signed and checked for security.

Remote and Receiver

Introduction

The DVD Movie Playback Kit contains 2 parts: A remote and a dongle for the Xbox[FIXME].

Remote Control

Infrared interface

[FIXME]

[FIXME]

struct {
  uint8_t check_high; // 8 bit check
  uint8_t check_low__data_high; // 4 bit check, 4 bit data
  uint8_t data_low; // 8 bit data
};

The first part of the transfer consists of the negated data signal (check).

The data integrity can be confirmed by XOR-ing both parts:

check = (check_high << 4) | check_low
data = (data_high << 8) | data_low
check ^ data = 0xFFF

The check, which marks the start of the transfer[FIXME], always starts with 0b0101, therefore the data always starts with 0b1010.

Dongle

The dongle contains a ROM with an XBE which provides some functions for the DVD playback application. However, the XBE is not standalone.

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 didn't have to pay the DVD Forum (and apparently also Dolby) for every Xbox sold, but just for every DVD Remote kit sold[1]. 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.

Infrared signals

When infrared signals are received from the Remote Control, they can be read using an interrupt transfer [FIXME]. Each USB payload is 6 bytes long:

struct {
  uint8_t unk; // always 0x00 (These could be length high bits?)
  uint8_t length_low; // always 0x06
  uint8_t data_low;
  uint8_t data_high; // only lower 4 bit are used (Always 0x0A with offical Microsoft remote)
  // Milliseconds since last press (will clamp to 0xFFFF when no button was pressed in a long time).
  // A value close to 0x0040 is returned for continously holding a button.
  // When holding, the value often goes back and forth between 0x0040 / 0x0041.
  // It is unknown if the receiver / remote intentionally does this.
  uint8_t timer_low;
  uint8_t timer_high;
};

When holding two or more buttons at once on the remote the IR receiver stops sending interrupt transfers. The last transfer will be the first button pressed.

The keycodes read from an official Microsoft IR remote are as follows:

Firmware download

See https://github.com/XboxDev/dump-dvd-kit (PC Python based) or https://github.com/Ryzee119/Dongle_Dumper (Xbox homebrew).

The firmware locatedn on the DVD dongle is accessed over USB by a vendor specific control request.

The setup packet for the control transfer should have the below format:

Field Value Notes
bmRequestType 0xC1 Device-to-host / Vendor / Interface.
bRequest 1 or 2 1 = Request ROM info, 2 = Request ROM data.
wValue What 1024 byte chunk 0 = the first 1024 bytes, 1 = Second 1024 bytes etc.
wIndex 1 (Normally) Should point to the bInterfaceNumber that has a bInterfaceClass of 0x59. That happens to be 1 on most DVD Playback dongles.
wLength Up to 1024 Number of bytes to read from chunk set by wValue. Note the max value here is 1024. To read the next chunk, issue another setup packet with a new wValue.

bRequest = 1 can be used to obtain the header of the ROM. This is a 6 byte header in the form:

typedef struct 
{
    uint16_t version;  //The version of the embedded ROM
    uint32_t rom_size; //In bytes
} xremote_info_t;

The rom size can then be used with bRequest = 2 to obtain the entire ROM contents. It should be noted that the ROM header obtained with bRequest = 2 is also present at the first 6 bytes of the full ROM image. So it is possible to obtain the ROM header info with bRequest = 2 requesting the first 6 bytes.

Components

Different versions of the dongle seem to use different hardware internally.

Frontside
Backside
This big square IC on the backside is the microcontroller. STMicroelectronics describes it as "8/16-BIT FULL SPEED USB MCU FOR COMPOSITE DEVICES WITH 16 ENDPOINTS, 20K ROM, 2K RAM, I 2 C, SCI, & MFT". Since the program resides inside in its ROM, it is almost impossible to extract the program from inside.
This black box on the middle of the frontside is an integrated IR receiver. It filters the received infrared pulses and demodulates them. Its filter frequency is 56kHz, while 38kHz is standard for most remote controls. Therefore, chances are few other remotes will work with the Xbox receiver.
This wide TSOP IC on the frontside could be the most interesting of all. It is a 4MBit mask ROM.
This 20-pin standard logic IC is an octal D-flipflop, which splits the databus from the 92163 to 8 adress bits. This technique is very well known from the 8051 and other microcontrollers.
