CXBX progress

**Bobbi** · January 5th, 2004, 01:04

Over in this thread, there are several screenshots from shadow_tj which show an impressive progress going on with the X-Box emulator CXBX. The screenshots show the self running in-game demo from Rayman. Though we're not 100% sure yet if this is a movie or actually the game engine displaying the graphics, the shots are very nice to look at - see for yourself:

Great work caustik and KingofC! For more CXBX screenshots, make sure to check out our CXBX section!

Nice

It would be very awesome if that was the actual game engine running rendering the game.

from reading the thread my understanding (According to shadow_tj) is it IS the game engine. No offical word though...

RF · January 5th, 2004, 05:05

hell, for all we know it could be simply screencaptured though the pc.

I can back up my statements if you want to ;P

These are from a TV capture card, you can see interlace artifacts, the tv overscan and overall the picture is blurry.

Unless what you mean is that the emulator is playing back an X-box movie file.. But then where is the window title and border?

tonyyeb · January 5th, 2004, 22:52

Why has no one made these comments on the main thread if you are all so sure it is a TV capture card at work? I know nothing about interlace stuff and telling the difference between whats real and what is a tv capture card but the comments on the main thread seem to be that the screen shots are real and that is of an 'xmv' movie running in the game, similar to what CXBX was doing a while back with Turok, again playing an 'xmv'. Only quoting what Caustik has said in the other thread.

I don't think an xmv would be that interlaced.
Here's what I think it is: if you look carefully at the larger rayman picture(s) you can see small horizontal lines in some places; they dont show up everywhere; a program called 'dscaler' was used, which largely 'deinterlaces' (removes those scanlines from) the tv input

for comparison; take a look at the shots in this thread:
http://www.ngemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9003
I made those from a DC using dscaler and a tv capture card; if you look carefully you'll notice the same horizontal lines.

I'd wait for Caustik to post, not some random from the boards. I agree, it looks very TV-Card like to me. You (especially Bobbi) should know better than this.

NightSage · January 6th, 2004, 08:12

i reckon it's real, it is just 1 game, i mean if there were good shots from several games, then i would probably think..hmmmmmm (they probably just worked hard on 1 game to get somethinhg working properly). it is afterall just a xbox...,gamecube, ps2 are real consoles remember, so you would think
xbox emulation would be progressing more, and since we aint hard from him recently..who knows

KOC2000 · January 6th, 2004, 17:58

How do you people beleive this is a real emulator screenshots???!
They're tvcaptured of course..anyone who knows there's a PC TV (video in) cards will notice it..

what a lame.. and how do you (moderators of ngemu) post such a work??!!

NightSage · January 6th, 2004, 19:16

yeah thats true, its possible those shots are real, when you think about it the xbox isn't that much different from a pc no?

Well.. I think any emu author should post screen shots from the emulator running. and if there's an emu that runs the game like thoso shots, it MUST be cabable of changing the resolution to higher resolutions than the XBOX itself..

FAKE shots..

_E_ · January 7th, 2004, 05:13

caustik has confirmed that they are from the xmv movie,..these shots arent ingame, they were from the movie,..now enough of this!

Yours,
