Updates for the N64 emu (Surreal XXX B5) would be awesome. Even if it was just customized settings per game, something similar to what was done for CoinOPS vm would be awesome. I know that here there is a list, but it is outdated and does not include every game. If the settings could be built in per game, so the best emu (1964, PJ64, UltraHLE) were automatically chosen, this emu would be absolutely amazing. If anyone knew how to integrate this into surreal, I'm sure that support would rise and most if not all games would be tested in no time.

Yeah, an update for Surreal xxxb5 would be really good, better compatiblity and all.

Not holding my breath though...

I would still like to see the High res pack of Duke Nukem 3D on Xbox though, that would rock! :(

My secret dream is a 3D0 emulator, though that's pretty much hopeless. I'd settle for a Dreamcast emu, though I'm going to go ahead and guess that that's technically impossible.

Yup!you got that right.

saying that though, didn't they used to say CPS3 games on Xbox would be impossible? :shootem:

 

The cps3's sh2 processor is ~25mhz (and barely runs at full speed). The dreamcast's sh4 processor is 200mhz. Not only that, it also has an arm cpu for sound and some pretty funky video hardware.

It's not impossible, but playing the games faster than about .01 frames a second is a little unrealistic.

 

You can quote me on it (I'm certainly someone who should know the xbox's emulation capabilities...).

You certainly do know your stuff. :shootem:

Just a point really that people think things are impossible until someone does it... ;)

a net browser

functional netplay for xport, fbaxxx and mame emu's

osman/cannon dancer playable

a way to defrag the hard drive

 

oh and sega saturn emulated

 

unfortunately, saturn isnt possible as you probably know (dual processors and such...) though i would love to see that as well...

as for a net browser there is one in aideluxe, or you can use linux to run firefox.

and for defragging, most likely not possible unless done through linux. my friend and i tried to port an open source defrag to the xbox filesystem, but the xdk does not have, afaik, the os methods needed to run it (someone correct me if you have found a way...)

Dual? Sure, if you only count the main CPUs. There's twin VDPs as well as dedicated sound processors, it's a rather complex machine. That aside, Yabuse has been ported to Dreamcast.

 

ANYTHING is possible, but playable is where you touch on the impossible. Yabuse for DC will never be playable, and a port to Xbox would be the same.

 

As for Dreamcast on Saturn, a proof of concept would be hard enough on it's own. With only 64MB of RAM on the Xbox, and requiring 26MB alone to "1:1" on the Dreamcast combined RAM size, you're not left with much to use for your actual emulation of the machines hardware.

 

All of this is beyond anyone without the knowledge and capability, so I oft get sick of seeing people ask something that is at the very least, obviously difficult. Why ask, it makes you look silly.
