Hi. Thanks for asking about Dxbx. To be honest, Dxbx is still in an early stage.

Nothing actually works yet, the only thing that you could do to show some graphics, is use the Cxbx DLL - but even that's crippled.
So you're currently better of with Cxbx right now.

However, some day in the distant future we hope to surpass the level of compatibility that Cxbx has. But for that, a lot of work is still to be done. Still, we're steadily improving Dxbx (as you can see from the steady flow of changes submitted to the source code archive).

For those interested, we do a few key operations differently :
  • we've got stubs for the whole Xbox kernel, which makes it easier to spot API's that need an implementation
  • we're using another way of detecting API's, which costs (way) more memory than Cxbx but offers complete coverage of the libraries involved
  • we're working on different approach for emulating Xbox threads, which will make Dxbx run faster than Cxbx, enables us to use the Delphi integrated debugger much more easily (including stack-traces of game-code) and allows Dxbx to run on Vista 64

Thanks for listening

sounds great but,
whats with that XDK thing?
i thought its required to increase the compatiblity for more games?

so you do that with those stubs now?

sorry for noob questions but i'm more in the PS2 emulation scene than Xbox.

xdk stands for Xbox Development Kit

games are programmed in the C++ language.. the xdk give you the xbox compiler and some extra library functions that are specially made for the xbox.
