Applied Microsystems has announced that it will provide XDK-compatible DVD emulators to developers of games for the Microsoft Xbox console. Today's agreement follows a letter of intent that was announced by the two companies in July. The Applied Microsystems' DVD emulator allows developers to see their games run as if they were actually accessing target DVDs, replaces the need for a DVD drive with a hard drive, and eliminates the need to burn DVDs.
"Applied's DVD emulation technology will be a valuable addition to the XDK, contributing greatly to the ease with which game developers can create titles for Xbox," said J Allard, Microsoft's general manager of the Xbox platform. "We're looking to get these units out and into the hands of Xbox game developers as quickly as possible."
Applied Microsystems also provides hardware components for the Nintendo GameCube development tools. The Microsoft Xbox console will be launched in fall 2001.
