Great read and made me nostalgic. There was also a way to turn a jtag/rgh console in to running dev console stuff. Also the trick where if you moved a dev consoles update file to your dev kit's main directory then it will allow 100% r/w/unsigned code. Modern xbone dev kits require their IP to be allowlisted/brick/turn to a retail if not constantly activated. Though there was the ps4 dev kit trick where you could set the console's clock back to when it was activated to unbrick/unlock it again. I wonder what protections/exploits the ps5 dev kits have.
