Development Framework, Xbox Code Options

[obcd]

You might consider creating a retail / debug setup.
I recently described on this Forum how it can be done.
You can simply select debug xbox from your dashboard and the debug dash shows up.

It only takes a bit of space on your xbox harddisk. It doesn't interfer with it's normal operation.
If you start coding, you will soon discover that debug possibilities are great. It's also great that a newly created xbe is transferred to the xbox directly.

I will look into that, does it require flashing at all?

also, I just wrote my first C++ program. I would like your feedback, even though its pretty simple.

I can't figure out why, but if your answers are too long it messes the whole program up... any tips?

It would be helpfull to know what you are using to compile your program.
I would check if there is a limitation on the length of a string variable.
In standard C we wrote something like char city[100];

This means that the string should not contain more than 100 chars.
If it becomes longer, you get a buffer overflow and the char's are writen to memory locations occupied by other variables. The keyword string hides the length restriction, but it probably still exists.

Maybe if you look it up in your compiler help, you will learn what it's restrictions are and how they can be changed.

I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio . NET 2003

yeah, I figured out how to write more characters to a integer and char but I can't seem to figure out how to add to a string.
