Stella V2 released
Posted by LyonHrt at 12:34 PM

A new release of Stella for xbox was released yesterday which brought it in line with all the other recent emu's being released.
Heres whats new:

This one has been due an update for a long time. This release puts it
in line with my more recent emu releases. Fixes/improvements include:

Sound is fixed

NTSC/PAL should work the same

Sorted listings

Return to dashboard

Search for cheat codes

Reload game list

Configuration from INI file

Resize/reposition game screen

A STELLA.INI file can be written from inside the emulator.
To configure Stella, press the Left Thumbstick. This will let you select
the font height, the menu text offset, and the screen modifiers.

You can make the gamescreen as big or as small as you like and reposition it anyw
here.

When you make your changes, it will rewrite the STELLA.INI file (if it was loaded
from
the XBox hard drive) If you are running the emulator from a CD/DVD media, you'll
have to construct your own STELLA.INI file and write it to the root directory.

The structure of the STELLA.INI file is as follows:

# # # # # #

Each # represents a number. They are as follows:

First # - Text offset
Second # - Font height
Third # - Game screen X position
Fourth # - Game screen Y position
Fifth # - Game screen width
Sixth # - Game screen height

So, for example, your STELLA.INI file might look like this:

0 12 10 20 630 450

This would mean:

Text offset = 0
Font height = 12
Game screen upper left hand corner position (x,y) = (10,20)
Game screen width = 630
Game screen height = 450

**YOU MUST HAVE A SPACE CHARACTER AFTER THE LAST NUMBER IN THE INI FILE!**

I've included an example STELLA.INI file.

Gnuboy v4 released!
Posted by LyonHrt at 0:46 AM

Gnuboy has been updated to version 4!
The changes for this release are as follows (from the readme):

Save States
All the other UI stuff to bring it in line with the other emus

The GNUBOY.INI file can now be written automatically from inside the emulator.
To configure Gnuboy, press the Left Thumbstick. This will let you select
the font height and the menu text offset.

*This will also let you resize and reposition the game screen to whatever you wan
t*

You can make the gamescreen as big or as small as you like and reposition it anyw
here.

When you make your changes, it will rewrite the GNUBOY.INI file (if it was loaded
from
the XBox hard drive) If you are running the emulator from a CD/DVD media, you'll

This would mean:

Text offset = 0
Font height = 12
Game screen upper left hand corner position (x,y) = (10,20)

This time a new version of Xbox Dgen, now in its third version.

in games like Aladdin.

Dgen v2 released
Posted by LyonHrt at 1:05 AM

A new version of this xbox emu has been released, heres what he say's whats new:

This release should fix a lot of problems with the core of the emulator.
The v1 version was using v0.26a of the StarScream engine. This was later
updated by the GENS author to v0.26c to fix a number of bugs. I've
implemented this newer StarScream version. Furthermore, there is also
an option for using a Musashi 68000 core - which I've also implemented from
the most recent release. Both engines play games that v1 could not.

X-ecuter Mod Pic
Posted by Sin-Tex at 21:43 PM

News Source: X-ecuter

A picture of the X-ecuter Xbox modchip that can be pre-ordered from LikSang has finaly been released.


Also a faq has been given to answer some questions:

:: FAQ ::

Q: How can the mod work with just 1 wire ?
A: Easy. X-ecuter uses a specially designed PCB which is soldered direct to the mainboard - takes 30 seconds.

Q: Surely I can just use one of the public bios' released ?
A: Yes you can. However X-ecuter is the only bios with ALL features on one device. Plus its cheap and easy to install. There are always those
that will flash there own bios - but there are also always those that want to use the latest mod, and this is it.

Q: Can you flash the onboard bios using Evolution-X software and with an X-ecuter installed ?
A: Yes you can.

Q: So basically what you are saying is that this mod takes 5 minutes to fit, and has ALL the features of Enigmah & Evolution-X on one mod ?
A: Absolutley.

Q: Will X-ecuter be working on any new features ?
A: We have an add-on mod in development right now. We can't say what it is yet - but oh yes you'll love it :)

Q: Well isn't this mod just the Evo-x bios ?
A: Of course not - if it was it wouldn't have all the features on one kernel would it ?

Q: I've been hearing stories about you guys being bullshit - care to comment ?
A: The mod uses 1 wire, it takes seconds to install, its cheap, it works. Where's the bullshit ?

Dgen for Xbox v1 Released!!!
Posted by HyperG at 19:30 PM

The author that has brought us Stella, Gnuboy, SMSPlus, FCEUltra, HUGO, NeoPop, has now ported Dgen to Xbox in 1 day! This has proven how easy it is to port things to the Xbox with a simple framework. Here is what the readme says.

"Same features as all the others (sound, cheat, savegames), except no save states. It might be a while before you see save states for this one, so don't hold your breath.

Should have the same compatibility as DGen.

Certain games are flaky and can really screw up the emulator to the point where it won't run any games correctly anymore. Instead of rebooting, I've added an option to reload the emulator XBE file. To do this, press the Left-Thumb and Right-Thumb analog joysticks as if they were buttons. I've verified this to work off the HD. It should work off a CD, but I have not tried it.

Also - if you load up a game and it does nothing but give you a black screen, you should reload the emulator XBE. If you don't you'll probably soon have to do a hard reboot of the XBox because the XBE will lock up tight. Again, this is due to some flakiness in the emulator."

It is simply a pleasure having such great underground developers such as the annonymous author of the emulators he has ported.

Xbox Utility "boXplorer" Released
Posted by Sin-Tex at 1:27 AM

Info from the readme.txt file:

"boXplorer is a file browser for Xbox which allows you to directly browse
files and folders on the Xbox harddisk and DVD drive.
boXplorer can also view Xbox video media files (*.WMV) and launch other
application or games (*.XBE files).
boXplorer can be booted from a DVD/CD or added to your Xbox harddrive and
launched from there.
boXplorer is a great addition to Evolution X dashboard (on either
harddrive or DVD/CD) since it provides browsing capabilites which
Evolution X currently lacks.
boXplorer currently does not contain any copy/rename/delete/move file
capabilities, but this is under serious consideration for a future release
"

Thanks too the author T'ulkas for the news.

Nvidia-Microsoft to work on Xbox II

"PEACE APPEARS TO HAVE BROKEN OUT between aggressive graphics chip company Nvidia and belligerent graphics chip company Microsoft, if reports in today's Economic News of Taiwan are to be credited.
And Nvidia is still chummy with TSMC and is developing 130 nanometer graphics chips with the Taiwanese foundry, the report adds.

The newspaper quotes K.B. Ng, Nvidia sales chief in the APAC region, as saying that his firm will work together to produce the next design of the Xbox, the Xbox II.

Microsoft and Nvidia are currently engaged in a dispute over the last generation of the Xbox, and we know that the Vole wants Graphzilla to charge a lot less for chipsets in the console.

Ng claimed that Nvidia will have over 10 per cent of Athlon XP market this year as its Nforce II chipset gets rolled out into motherboards."

Atari 2600 Emu for XBOX

News Source: XboxHacker.net

Icy2k got this nice info from a anon person on irc (efnet #xboxhacker)

ReadMe Release Notes:
This is a port of Stella 1.2 for the XBox.

Obviously, I ripped the menu code from Mame-XBox. Credit goes to opcode for that.

At the moment, there's only one bug that I know about : from time to
time the audio will drift and get garbled. It only lasts about 10 seconds though
and then everything is back to normal. If I get some more time, I'll try and address
that issue.

The only other improvement I might add is a cheat-code finder.

It takes a while to load up, so be patient.

Enjoy!

Fixed bug where if a game doesn't load and is just black, it doesn't just sit there you can hit
back+start to go back to the menu. (You'll notice these guys have sound too if you push OK and
keep messing with the buttons, Working on figuring out why now)

MAME-X beta 5 ?

So people can't always win, so an annoymous coder on IRC has decided to fix up MAME-X. This underground release has been speculating on one of the big networks on IRC. It supposely contains a new splash screen, rom search status, colored menu, rom loading progress bar, and much more little bugs fixed. The source code was obviously compiled by another user though for save measures. Expect a newer beta 6 later to appear with MAME .61 instead of .60 , later sometime today.
