Who wanne help with a cxbx delphi port ? - Page 2

**shadow_tj** · March 26th, 2007

i wanne port it to delphi because there are lots of starting programmers who have the skill and time to build such emulator.

If i can give them a start with this, they can pick it up..
The Delphi community has lots of people who are willing to spend time on sources of third parties then in C++...

Second, my knowledge of c++ is not that good, i`m a delphi programmer.

And speed... ok directx is c++, but stuff made by delphi is even as fast as c++ or yust as slow.. yust how you code your stuff.

FIRST !!!

The Cxbx Project started out to develop a developer workspace to programm xbox games.
Ok that it came into a emulator... thats fine.
Don`t forget this idea...

The idea for me 2 continue is the same.. i wanne make a developer enviroment....

SECOND !!!
If you want me ... or ANNY1 else to build a xbox 360 emulator .... (pfffF)
then show me the file system schematics... then we talk again :P

There are now 2 persons who posted me a prv message to help with this project.

Hopefully we can make a good start with in the hope to have some results soon.

also wanne thx a special anomenous person who posted his emu sources..
they are very helpfull...

<DONT ASK ME WHO IT IS AND WHAT THE RESULT ARE OF THAT STUFF... I WILL NOT ANSWER THAT>

so lets the race begin... who should deliver the first screenies.

Compitition starten: 30 march 2007
who will publish the first screenshots of a xbox Game on emulation.

special note ( turock will not count as a valid game, because its already emulated by cxbx [Caustik] )... :P

3. Console game's don't have options in them because they're set at a fixed rate.

Hence why PC FPS and Console FPS are different.

maybe 4. The PC will forever remain the ultimate machine, partially due to the fact that it has emulators, partially because it's hardware can be upgraded frequently, and mostly because...well, it's the PC :P

I gone make the webite part this evening.
then it will also be uploaded... then the first basic stuff can also be downloaded for who wanne try also to make a delphi port..

See it as version 0.0.0.1 for people to give it a start to the project.

it does not much at all for now.. started logging screens and some function calls..

after studie the cxbx sources it converts the complete xbe files back into windows executable by rewriting a complete new pe header..

Annyone got some good samples about pe headers with delphi ??
done lots of programms and tools.. but you always see new stuff :P

<EDIT>
As i mentioned before i had not much free time last month..
hope to have some more this month starting from this evening...
</EDIT>
