Xeon v1.0 released - Page 3

Andrew Hruska · August 11th, 2003

Using a modded xbox and a ethernet cable or a hacked firmware DVD drive, you can copy the Halo files. Don't question this, use your head and google!

_SF_, is this is real, why not merge with Cxbx?

tonyyeb · August 11th, 2003

Why don't we all just wait for some proof. If this is real then it will make a fantastic addition to all the great work done with PCSX2 and the GameCube emu that i've heard a few things about

. In the meantime patience is required

>>_SF_, is this is real, why not merge with Cxbx?

I think thats a great idea. I know the two are a little different. But With the progress of your emulator and CXBX, you guys (working together) could make an emulator very fast.

Regulus · August 11th, 2003

I know. For a while there, Caustik was churning out the releases faster than a churning-out machine. With Caustik and _SF_'s knowledge combined, we might be playing commercials sooner than we thought!

Go authors Go authors ...

I hope we get a reply. Maybe a merge ...

Made a few mirrors.....

Here is the actual emulator:

Here is the updated Xeon core DLL:
http://www.ngemu.com/terror/Xeon_Test.rar

Here are the Pixel Shader Source Files (CXBX Does not support yet):

This is really exciting, I wish someone would hurry to confirm/deny this emulators reality

boo_se · August 12th, 2003

the first picture is the error i get when i try to run this in soft render mode. The second picture is what i get using d3d.

It also creates a lot of large chache files.

brienj · August 12th, 2003

I haven't posted on this forum since it was PSXEmu, but anyway, I have been in the emulation scene a long time, and recently became a part of the Xbox scene, and I am a moderator at www.xbox-saves.com and www.megaxkey.com just so you know I am not a troll.

THIS IS FAKE!!!!

I tested it with an Nvida GeForce4 Ti4600, AMD XP 1800+, and DirectX9

I tried all the different settings in the program and not once would it work. It produced cache files, but that was it.

I am sure others will eventually prove it too, but I just wanted to let you know, so you can all sit easy now.

Regulus · August 12th, 2003

Your system specs are irrelivant. And also, what game did u test? did u do it right? if it was a homebrew, it shouldnt work because the author isnt concerned about it.

brienj · August 12th, 2003

My system specs are relevant, because I fit them all, so the emulator should have played Halo, and it didn't. I know you want to believe it works, but please trust me, it doesn't.

Andrew Hruska · August 12th, 2003

ROMstein, i think brienj ( i visit www.xbox-saves.com alot! ) would be using Halo

EDIT: Andrew Hruska, slower then molasses and the worlds worst typist!

brienj · August 12th, 2003

Andrew Hruska, thanks for verifying my good name.

boo_se · August 12th, 2003

so far 3 of us have tried this and all get the same errors am i right? garbeld screen that goes back to main menu. trying in software mode gives a d3d error message.

brienj · August 12th, 2003

That's what I got.

Andrew Hruska · August 12th, 2003

Make that 4. i get a black screen, then some blue garbage, then a very scary mosiac of colors screen.

**caustik** · August 12th, 2003

it is worth noting that the CreateDevice error message is directly taken from Cxbx. Interesting.

**mikeshoup** · August 12th, 2003

Is it also worth noting, that one should try and remove all lines from halo.ini and see what happens?

**kingofc** · August 12th, 2003

This kind of mosaic garbage screen looks like the one I'm getting when D3D doesn't render anything to screen nor calls Clear, but Present (A function which shows the rendered stuff on screen). So looks like no D3D code except Present/Swap is executed. Someone should run a debugger/API sniffer on Xeon when it starting Halo and look especially for calls to D3D dlls (d3d8.dll, ...).

I looked quickly at the pixel shader source code posted by _SF_. The style is not the best, but it looks real. I can not proof that it is, although the sahder definition structure of the xbox is parsed, I'm not sure whether the code generates real working output (PC D3D Pixel Shader). (I didn't try to compile it).

If I have time, I analyse the source code.
