The developer revealed Easter Eggs Xbox after waiting for almost 20 years for people to find it
Nearly 20 years after being released, you will think the original Xbox will not have the remaining secrets to share. But it turns out that not only the first console of Microsoft still has some hidden Easter eggs, it is likely that one of them will still have not been found if it wasn’t for recent disclosures. This week, developers who work on the original Xbox contact Kotaku to notify the website how to trigger a surprise that has never been found before. “I don’t really hope to be found, not except the source code of leaking or someone reverses the dashboard,” the individual said to the website.
If you want to see Easter eggs themselves, you have to tear the CD into your Xbox hardware. When your console asks you to name the album, type, “Timmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!” It was Timmy with 26 ys (we began to see why no one found this Easter egg itself). As my city shows, no need to count the letters. Instead, fill in all fields and then replace the last letter with an exclamation point.
Now be prepared for historical lessons in how it feels to use technology in the middle because your Xbox slowly copies music files to its mechanical drive. When done, open the settings menu and navigate to the option “System Info”. The console will now treat you with a new credit screen that includes the Xbox Dashboard team.
“I decided to share it now because it’s been 20 years, and I think it will be cool if people know this really exists,” said the developer to my city. “I also think if I don’t do it now it will never happen. It’s been so long I can’t even remember the trigger! I have to connect the Xbox and try a few things to make sure.”
Incidentally, Seamus Blackley, the original Xbox designer, told my city that he didn’t realize Timmy Easter Egg before the website took him to his attention. According to the designer, there are at least one last surprise from the Xbox fans that have not been found in Microsoft console software that is almost 20 years old, but he will not reveal a way of triggering.
