[Emu] Cxbx / XQemu Emulateur Xbox sur PC

[hippopippo]

sadly, there are many technical and practical problems, including the compiler itself (vs19 & vs22) which causes disasters based on the version used (I had to make changes & fix to this build too to be able to compile it without errors) ... however the road is long but frequented by nice people

once more wip ...

 

I love you.

Chihiro is the crown jewel of arcade emulation and preservation. 

[hippopippo]

 

This is the first release of the Cxbx-Reloaded wip version compiled (thanks to the great work of axylol and all those who are following the project). 

All the resources are public and open-source so available for anyone who wants to try their hand at Chihiro emulation.

 

Given the difficulties in compiling this version and the many debugging errors that can result from the compiler (if not configured properly), I have created two end-user versions: Release & Debug.

 

Release version should run with better fps, while the Debug should fix any crash and memory allocation issues. 

Finally, I remind you that this version is wip and constantly updated, so expect any compatibility issues gpu/cpu/memory/OS and so on based on your hardware.

 

Now have fun trying out some Chihiro games and go for a run with Wmmt2.

 

Service menu can be activated by pressing the F1 and F2 keys to move. Each game has its own game menu and calibration is recommended for all racing games for joypad & keyboard.

is it merged with official release stream on github?

[hippopippo]

No, there is nothing official, the Chihiro branch is developed by a few volunteers and each build has its pros and cons, everything is in the experimental phase, wip in fact.

[hippopippo]

 

This version plus Yacard emulator is fully backwards compatible with Windows 7+ (remember to enable it before running Cxbx)

It is essential to disable the ffb wheel force option and enable the card reader in the service menu section of the game (F1 key)

When I download the release file, my browser (Brave) detects it as a virus, but the debug downloads without problems. I imagine it is a false positive, as they say. Does the same thing happen to anyone else?

yeap same with me with -  Norton anti virus  quarantines the exes and c doc files - trying to add it to the exception list to play these like 😕 : 

[hippopippo]

It is a false positive caused by internal calls from the emulator core to the kernel and this, like any direct access, makes the antivirus go crazy.

Add exception to the folder or to the exe.

Hello Hippo, thanks a lot for all your work and for sharing exclusive stuff so often !!

 

I have tried to launch maximum tune 2 with the w7 yaca fork but I have an error saying that the dashboard is not installed.

I have a xboxdash.xbe but I don't know how to use it or how to install the dashboard itself. I have read that the files are supposed to go in \AppData\Roaming\Cxbx-Reloaded\EmuDisk\Partition2 but which files ?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you very much its really great to play it

[soso92]

Does anyone know the button to insert the card?

[MFT_Man]

I tried to use the keys in the emulator, but only the key 5 responded to insert credits, however I can't start the game like ghost squad or house of dead 3 with start. What are the controls like in this version of cxbx?

[joefish]

@hippopippo i tried all games with all builds you posted here and none of them seem to work especially keys

[mamefan1]

I tried all the games and some keys worked...

5 is coin

F1 is test button

F2 is service

Working buttons

W a s d x c q e

with wangan games i got black screen after chihiro logo and dont go in game - whats the trick ?

[mamefan1]

dont know... same thing happens to me with the release version. The W7 version gives me a dashboard error. I found a working dashboard, but then it gave a cant read the disk error in the dashboard... not an emulator error. Outrun was giving me a drive board not connected error.

I got this. I saw a github post that dashboards greater than 4920 are not supported, so i found an older one. but then i got this. 

[brudibru]

I can launch all the games except the Wangan ones, with the Yaca version (The release version runs into memory allocation errors and the debug one just doesn't launch anything). 

Some games doesn't go far (crazy taxi, Outrun special tours, sega golf,...), some have major graphical issues (ollie king) but they all at least start the bios.

 

The Wangan games are not and I just get an error message

I wonder why it happens only with these games and why nobody else has reported this issue here (Am I the only one with this error ?)

 

Anyway, I do understand that these CXBX forks are very WIP and I will patiently wait and hope for new versions. A big thank you to the devs and to Hippo, The Chihiro emulation has been neglected for too long and it is great to see something happening now. 

[scooby]

This is because you have to put the files in the A folder of the dump in the root game directory, where the data folder is.

install an xbox dashboard.  i used 4817.  also clear symbol cache in the emu settings every time you change games.

Thanks for the tip Scooby.

 

Now the bios is starting but I have an error message: "can't open the xbe file"

I have done that and same fatal error. If I leave the xbe files in the folder A I have the same unknown disc error as Mamefan1. Thank you for the help anyway !

 

 

[mamefan1]

So to recap, 

 

put the files in the A folder into the root folder next to boot.id and data folder

use a desktop that is lower than 4092, 4817 works good and put it in your Release-W7-Yaca\EmuDisk\Partition2 folder

when game starts press F1+F2, you might be able to just press F1

Go to the game's sub test menu and turn off drive motor, and card reader if you are not going to use the card system. 

F1 - test

F2 - service

you might have to wait on black screen for a little bit. it takes a short while to load.

Thanks mamefan1, my problem was that my wangan games were not in the same folder as the emu. Also If I move the files from the folder A it doesn't work, I have to copy them in the root folder and leave the A folder.

Now wangan 1 is working but not the 2. I just got to a black screen and that's it. 

Strange behavior but that was to be expected and it will get better.

[mamefan1]

For maximum tune 2 did you copy all 3 files from the a folder?

Also make sure you are using a desktop below 4092. I had the black screen at one point but it is working now.

 

You might have to keep the files in a folder... i have them there too, but i haven't tried removing the a folder.

 

Games don't have to be in the same folder as the emulator. You just need to make sure the dashboard is in partition 2 in the emu emudisk folders and the bios files are in the chihiro folder

i tried 4034 and 4817 but always black screen

you said it takes a bit for loading - how much time ?

[joefish]

ok its started but it hangs here and no matter if i use keyboard or joypad

also f1 and f2 doesnt do anything

[mamefan1]

Did you press them at the same time?
