XSS (Xbox System Software)
[edit]About This Page
[edit]This page is part of an ongoing effort to document and preserve everything related to Xbox Series S development and prototype builds. Our goal is to collect, verify, and archive as much information as possible in one central location that anyone can use as a reference point.
Each entry indicates whether it is:
- Publicly available — confirmed and archived
- Known but not yet available — referenced but no files or images found
If you can help fill in the gaps, please do! We offer bounties paid in Bits for anyone who can provide a working Internet Archive link to missing materials.
Together, we can ensure this knowledge remains accessible to everyone interested in Xbox development history.
Bounty (Short)
[edit]Bounty: Bits will be awarded for verified Internet Archive links to undocumented XSS builds, NANDs, or other missing XSS-related materials. Links must point to Internet Archive (archive.org) and may be your own upload or someone else’s.
Disclaimer (Short)
[edit]Disclaimer: No content is shared or distributed here — this page only links to material already hosted on the Internet Archive for documentation and preservation purposes.
XSS Overview
[edit]XSS (sometimes referred to as XBS) is the operating system used by the Xbox 360 family of consoles and dev/test hardware. It evolved from the original Xbox OS, which itself was a heavily customized Windows NT / Windows 2000–derived kernel, and it underpins the dashboard, recovery system, device drivers, and developer tooling for the platform.
Much of the historical structure, build taxonomy, and terminology on this page was adapted from community research published on XenonLibrary’s "XSS" entry, plus contributor notes. Used with permission. We’ve rewritten and expanded it for clarity and CNH’s format, and we’ll continue to add links and media as we go.
What This Page Shows
[edit]This page lists all the recoveries that have been found and preserved over the years. Each column in the table is explained below so you know what you’re looking at.
Build Types
[edit]XSS is the underlying operating system that runs on the Xbox 360. There are three common build types:
- Checked (Debug) — Debug build used for development and testing; contains extra checks and debugging functionality developers need.
- Hybrid — A build that mixes Free and Checked attributes; closer to a retail environment but with some debugging functionality.
- Free (Retail) — Made to be as close to retail as possible; simulates how software will behave on a retail console.
SDK
[edit]The Software Development Kit (SDK) is the software used on your PC. It contains the tools needed to communicate with your Xbox 360 and to assist with building and debugging games.
Kernel Version
[edit]This is the package that would be sent out to developers and includes the SDK, recovery, and ISO containing XSS. Each release typically includes bug fixes, new features, and updated functions.
The version number breaks down like this:
- Major – Kernel generation (on Xbox 360 this is typically 2)
- Minor – Usually 0
- Build – The build number (e.g., 21256)
- QFE – Quick Fix Engineering hotfix iteration (e.g., .8)
Example: `2.0.21256.8` → Major: 2 / Minor: 0 / Build: 21256 / QFE: .8
Video Walkthrough
[edit]A simple video demo of XSS running on an Xbox 360 can show the progression between versions. Note: apart from dashboard or launcher replacements, differences between successive XSS versions may be minor.
Notes
[edit]Nothing much to say here for now — additional information will be added as new data becomes available.
ROM / Compatibility
[edit]This column lists which console revisions and hardware configurations each recovery or build is compatible with.
