2. a good friend just got a new crazy taxi 3 arcade unit....brand new,,,,i thought maybe the file structure on these arcade games would be the same as xbox... (.xbe's)

 

3. after many attempts at dumping the gd-rom from the arcade machine....we were able to get the 908Megs of info dumped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

SURPRISE!!!! it has default.xbe

 

its just an xbox game !!!!

Oh my god.

[OverlordMondo]

This is good, right?

 

Yay!

[Alpha]

Can someone please tell me what exactly this is? I am so lost.

[Ryuken]

Can someone please tell me what exactly this is? I am so lost.

me too

[i l l m a t i c]

its basicallly an xbox game in teh cab

[Alpha]

Nevermind, I understand now. This is awesome!

 

To put in summary...

 

CHihiro hardware I think is used for Arcade games..and they are able to dump the GDRom image and use it on their XBOX since CHihiro hardware is the same as the XBOX, it's just a GD-ROM instead of a DVD-ROM.

 

So far the playable game list is..

 

Crazy Taxi High Roller

Ollie King

Outrun 2

The House of the Dead III

Virtua Cop 3

 

EDIT: How is this a Emulation Break through though?

 

EDIT 2: Wait, nvmd..your emulating the system on a XBOX. I get it.

[Wizard]

I don't know exactly.

 

But, YEAH!

 

I want one.

[sammaz]

my only goal in life now is to obtain all chihiro arcade gd-roms and dump them....the most amazing thing is that the xbox controler setup is the same as MAMEox....lol

 

"back" button on player 1 while playing crazy taxi III dump is coin button just like mame...so my cab was already to go for chihiro....

 

 

gotta get them all...

 

omfg

 

virtua fighter 5 is comming on chihiro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and to my xbox

[Wizard]

theres a catch tho, games for Chihiro could need a lot more ram then what xbox uses/upgradable to.

 

for example outrun 2 uses 512mb of ram where xbox's limit is 128mb ram

[L.S.D]

I dun get this

But nvm, as long as it encourage emulation

[ForceX]

This is great news...but the Xbox will not be able to emulate Chihiro mainly because of Chihiro's extra ram.

 

But, that doesn't mean we might not see a Chihiro Emu for the PC
