Abrash on Xbox article at Dr Dobbs

[Reverend]

With the revamp at DDJ which requires payment for certain articles, does anyone have this old famous article by ex-id Michael Abrash on the Xbox on their harddrive? I have some things I'd like to ask JC that I vaguely remember being touched on by Abrash in his article. Email, or free linky appreciated. Thanks.

I doubt that's what you're looking for, since there's no mention of the hard drive. If it's not, and you know the article number, you should be able to find it through web.archive.org though.

Was it about using the xbox HDD for caching stuff from Doom3? I vaguely remember reading something about that.

Thanks, the link is what I want, although it appears incomplete (IIRC, Abrash also talked about BSP, which this linked archive doesn't include).

And you have misread what I meant about "harddrive" -- I meant if any of you have Abrash's article on your HDD, not what Xbox has to do with HDD.

sorry

Heh, looks like my bad habit of skim reading might have influenced other people to misread also. Sorry about that.

I checked the article from DDJ's archives and it doesn't have any mention about BSP. The linked article is exactly the same as DDJ's.

If it's the one I'm thinking of (Abrash talks about how he and JC bumped into the BSP while making the SNES port of Wolf3D, etc.) then I have it as PDF somewhere. Lemme know.

It was posted in this forum back in the day, would the posts still be there?
