Cxbx progress

[shogun_nihon]

Looking at Cxbx I found that it is updating by someone called "dstien" and as you can see he made a lot of revisions of it, does anyone know him?

Anyway the revision 105 (1 day ago) was made by Caustik is only a copy (Copied remotely) but it probe he still interested in XBOX emulation, correct me if I´m wrong.

So please check the Cxbx SVN:

SourceForge.net Repository - [cxbx] Index of /

If you mean blueshogun, he just updated his private branch with all signficant progress since last year.

Quoting myself from here

Beware that builds from this branch are still beta and hence not stable enough for a release of any kind. Use them at your own discression.

Now for the changes:

* Increased support for SDK 4627 and all of it's "relatives"
* A minor increase in compatibility for commercial games.
* Started support for DirectSound3D (Highly unstable, not yet fully functional and can cause crashes). Must be enabled in the source prior to compiling.
* Support for many new texture formats.
* Fixed some issues with apps that use DirectMusic. Timing is still inaccurate!
* Added multiple new kernel functions.
* Fixed some SDK 4721 and 4928 "oddities" with certain APIs
* Possibly more things I can't remember.



Some other things that need to be done:

* EmuIDirect3DDevice8_GetProjectionViewportMatrix was added, but needs verification.
* The hex values of some D3DFMTs can change from one SDK to the next. Easy to add, but I always forget
* Add support for multiple thread notifications. This will fix one problem with Blood Wake.
* Add a more SDK 5558 API support so that BattleStar Gakactica NTSC version.
* The shader parsing code really needs to be updated.
* Incomplete NtCreateFile emulation code is STILL giving us major problems (false dirty disc errors)!

That's all for now.

No, blueshogun96 call himself "shogun3d" and he made revision 97 to 104, but actually I´m talking about revision 106 to 116 made by this "dstien".

I maintain the dstien/wip branch. It's derived from Martin's branch as I haven't studied blueshogun96's changes yet. I've mainly targeted Futurama (XDK 5233). Here are some screenshots...

Very impressive work Nisse. It is great to see another individual who can bring something to the xbox emulation scene, which now has some tremendous developers.

Hmmm. It's been quite a while since I've had any online time, or else I would have replied sooner. I was thinking about buying Futurama for Cxbx earlier, then I thought to myself, "Futurama? Naw, I bet that game will N-E-V-E-R work!". You proved me wrong, great! I'll try to buy the NTSC version this weekend and see if it works.

If you want to see what changes I made, you'll need to download the source and do a search within the entire solution for my nick (shogun). If you need me to explain things personally, let me know. My online time is serverely limited right now, but I still do have some time on my hands (about 3 hours a day). Thanks and take care.

EDIT: I didn't notice you had got Celebrity Death Match working too. I have that game, but never thought to try it. What debugging techniques do you use?

I hope that one day I be able to play morrowind in this emulator, I got an xbox and the morrowind game as well (game of the year edition with all expansions). hopefully this emulator speeds up in progress with heart & soul together.

You can always play the PC version of Morrowind, so you can also use mods. I'd never play on an emulator a game that is also available for PC, unless the emulated version gives me something that the PC version does not. What I am waiting for a decent version of Cxbx for is to play games that were NEVER ported to PC! Like Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Munch's Oddysee, Outrun 2 (because Outrun 2006, which WAS ported to PC, does not contain the circuits of Scud Race and Daytona USA 2), Steel Battalion, Batman Begins, Spikeout: Battle Street, Spider-Man 2 (because the PC version was a completely different game)...

[NSCXP2005]

could somebody compile a win32 version fo this emulator

[blueshogun96]

Afaik, it's against the rules to do that and start distributing it accross the forums. You'll have to compile it yourself. You can download a copy of Visual C++ express (at least I'm sure you still can), and then compiling is easy.

@Chrono, thank you sir. That was awfully nice of you to do that for me

I started working on some fixes for the NTSC version of BattleStar Galactica. It shows the intro and loading screens, but a memory related problem causes it to crash.
