Smashing Drive

[blueshogun96]

After leaving work early today because some chemicals at the plant froze from the cold (lol), I used those spare hours to put towards Cxbx. I got hard at work to make up for all the time I couldn't work on Cxbx before, and it all paid off today. The game I've been working with earlier, Smashing Drive (XDK 4242) now goes ingame.

The menus so far have shown to me nothing but a white screen, but ingame looks much better with very few bugs (mostly texture related). Since 4242 is closely related to 4361, most of the functionality was just remapped to that version, but DSound support was serverely lacking for that XDK, but fortunately, Microsoft made very few changes to the DSound libraries back in 2002 so I just remap the DSound libraries to use 4627's instead (I wasn't expecting that to work, but it did). Only the 2D sound effects play, so It's not completely silent

Screens attached below, eat that!

shogun.

Good question, but I don't own many 4361 games Maybe I can try Hunter the Reckoning one more time to be sure now, but I really should be getting back to work on Robotech: Battlecry though.

Hey shadow. Let me know if you come accross any games that use 4721, 4831, 4928 or 5028. Those are relatives of 4627 and can be emulated as such.

Here's the XBE dump you requested

My sister has that game. If I remember correctly, it's a 5788 game. What does the 4361 mean? That's the version of the XDK it was built with. This we need to know prior to emulating a game.

wow 25 of them!! so all of them share the same functions with different addresses or they are slightly different!!?

The actual address is different for each game, so what we do instead of searching for the address is look for a digital signature generated from XDK libraries and match up the digital signatures so that the exact addresses withing the xbe are known. When the source code for a specific function is updated by mircosoft, then the digital signature changes.
