According to an interview between Kotaku and an anonymous Xbox dev, there is a hidden easter egg that hasn't been discovered for 20 years. The easter egg is similar to triggering the <<Eggsβox>> easter egg, which involves ripping a CD and naming it <<Eggsβox>>, after which a credits roll will play. The dev said that they wanted to avoid the same disappointment with the <<Eggsβox>> easter egg being found.

When we shipped [the Xbox], there was no real plan on how to leak [the ‘<<Eggsβox>>’ trick], but somebody on the team did an interview and hinted that there was something ‘cool’ in there,” the developer said. “It was a terrible way to do it. People went crazy thinking there was a free game, or something to that effect, stuffed away in the Dashboard/console. After a day or two he had to just leak the trigger due to all the speculation that was spinning out of control. Due to the way he leaked it, when it was ‘found,’ people were so disappointed.

The trick involves ripping a CD and naming the track Timmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! (with the y being repeated 26 times). Afterward, going to the system info will show a hidden credits sequence for the Dashboard team.

Credits again? That's lazy, they could really have coded a mini game, bo wonder this stayed unleaked for twenty years

Honesty even Hang Man would have been cool.

Not only does my mans hate most games, but also trivia and secrets

I am sure this was found more than 3 years ago and published in some magazine. It seems that this dev didn't hear about it and announced noone found it.

 

[Hanafuda]

Too much trouble just for some credits to run. Darkness fills my heart with pain.

 

[phreaksho]

It had to be 27 y's...

 

[ChubSwagLad]

OHH TIMMYYYYY

 

[XDel]

What, no hidden snail maze game? Truly this can not be the Dreamcast 2!

So this would presumably have been some point between 2002 and 2005 or so, possibly earlier (announced in 2000).
That would have right at the height of (series 4 through 6 for the earlier dates in that range above)

Now it could be an entirely different in joke but if I was going to place money on origins of such a thing then I know what I would go in on.

Now also the debate of whether to add something that obtuse to the upcoming "how to find hidden cheats" guide that I am halfway through.

I was just looking -TIMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!- for that video.

This was my thought too

But uh, eggsβox is pretty silly too

At this point, revealing it was probably for the benefit of everyone on the Team that placed bets on it, two decades back.

Team Nobody Had A Clue won, so maybe don't be this vague again, if they're expecting people to find it in their lifetimes ...

TIMMMAAAAAAY...and the lords of the underworld!
