Introduction

The XBOX Dev Jukebox is a self-contained music player built to run on any retail Xbox — One, One S/X, or Series S/X — switched into Developer Mode. It plays bundled tracks (and your own files off USB or a network folder) behind a full-screen, audio-reactive visualizer inspired by Winamp's Advanced Visualization Studio — superscopes, oscilloscope and FFT bars, all driven by a gamepad. It ships with original music by Rev. J. Money.

Sideload Instructions

  1. Put your Xbox into Developer Mode (Microsoft Store → "Xbox Dev Mode" activation app) and sign in with a user on the console.
  2. Download and unzip the sideload kit above. It contains the .appx, the signing certificate .cer, and the Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.appx dependency.
  3. On a PC on the same network, open the Xbox Device Portal in a browser: 
    https://<your-xbox-ip>:11443
    (accept the self-signed certificate warning).
  4. Go to My games & apps → Add. Select the .appx, then add the VCLibs x64 as a dependency and the .cer as the certificate. Install.
  5. Launch Rev. J. Money's XBOX Dev Jukebox from the console.
Notes. This package is self-signed for Developer-Mode sideload only — it is not a Store app. Install to internal storage (external/USB installs of dev apps can fail to launch). If you previously installed a build, uninstall it first.
