CXBX requires XP?

RunningRiot · July 10th, 2003

Does it?
I'm running 98, and nothing works so I assume so.

Oh well

One more reason to upgrade.

yea. it didnt work on my old Win Me coputer, but it works on my new XP.

**caustik** · July 10th, 2003

Win2k or XP. I havent tested on Win2k recently, though...

Hey, BTW..... NICE TUROK SHOTS!!!!!!!

gianpan · July 10th, 2003

U mean i need xp to run the demos??? Or to run the program?I have 98se and runs fine.

the compability with other os might change when the emulator has progressed more :P

running riot i have the same prob you have. CXBX (caustix xbox emulator...YEAH i got the translation

) starts but when i try to start emulation then 2 popups appear. The one says something like this:

The target for the shortcut of the file C:\.... is not allowed with less
than 0x1000.
Please repair the fault and try again.

The second popup says:

Emulation failed

Try converting again. If this message repeats, the Xbe is not
supported.

I tried emulating the demos from #xbins, xsnes9x and even BreakoutX3Dv13 ^^ . Its the same fault every time.

my specs:

Win 98 SE
AMD Athlon XP 2400 +
Gainward GF 2 Ti 500 XP Golden Sample
Asus A7V8X
512 MB DDR-RAM PC 333
Muse 5.1 DVD

ah and btw plz excuse my bad english i'm german

Actually it makes sense that the emulator only works on Win 2000 and XP. The Xbox console uses a Windows 2000 kernel...based on NT technology (same as XP).

**Chrono Archangel** · July 10th, 2003

is it possible to make it compatible with other Windows version? I get the same thing as BoH_Havoc. Im on WinME.
Aniway i dont really mind cuz my PC aint powerfull enough, but i was hoping to maybe get a couple of shots from it lol

Win2k works like a dream, caustik

**caustik** · July 10th, 2003

Good to hear it still works on Win2k.

Cxbx is dependant on NTDLL and DirectX, so any system that is capable of providing those dependencies can run it. It's entirely possible that you could see Cxbx running on a linux system on WINE. I havent gotten a chance to work on this, because WINE is annoying to install on my slackware box (too many packages needed to download, etc).

Win2k and XP have NTDLL, so thats why they both work. From what i've heard, WINE has some support for NTDLL, and some support for DirectX, so i'd hope to see it working on Linux some day :]

**Razor Blade** · July 10th, 2003

caustik

so is there a way to get NTDLL on WinME or Win98?

TerrorShocked · July 11th, 2003

No.... You can't use 98 or ME to run CXBX as they are not Windows NT based. Windows 2000 and XP are based off NT...

**caustik** · July 11th, 2003

Wow, it *does* work on Win2k3? That is great news :]

jimmsta · July 11th, 2003

hrm... I wonder if cxbx would work on wineX... I suppose so. I'll try it... in a few...

gianpan · July 11th, 2003

So it can't not be made to run on 98se?? I damn wanna install xp but my father says that there will be compitabillity probs and bul****s.ahhhhhrrrrrr

chipsugar · July 11th, 2003

Compatibility probs with what? If he can give specific answers then just run a check to see if your hardware is supported (I think microsoft had a program on their website that does this) and tell him there is no problem.
