A prototype of Borderlands for the Xbox 360.

Notes

  • Predates the final retail build by 13 days.
  • Requires the console date to be set to a date closer to when the build was created. It is unclear what the cutoff is. Setting the console to August 14, 2009 allows the game to boot
  • Displays Press Preview Build text during loading
  • Additional differences are unknown.
  • This build was also available on Terarelease 3.0. (2022) although in a different format.
  • Original filename (In Terarelease 3.0.): Borderlands (Aug 14, 2009) [Preview].rar
  • XEX information:
    • Header Maker ID: TT
    • Header Product Code: 2023
    • Header Title: Borderlands
    • Header PE Name: default.exe
    • Header Executable Name: /default.xex
    • Header: Executable Checksum (MD5): bc53cc23d81f2d336349d5d6564d6aa3
  • Miscellaneous Notes:
    • Game is emulatable in either Xenia or Xenia-Canary: No (as of December 25, 2022).
      • Issues: Xenia itself crashes at boot with no warning.

On hardware, it causes the console to reboot. If launched from an XDK menu, it leaves a crash dump
