[madmab]

thanks for the screen shot! looks pretty f'ing sweet.. Does this work well with pm3 hd skin by chance?

Yes. This is the version that will work with Gilles pm3 dual skin..

[Maturion]

YEAH! madmab, you rock! Thanks a lot for the release!

[FrankMorris]

Must agree. We have a living legend here..

[UCBeef]

Very nice work guys All the hard work is definitely appreciated.

[Meethatguy]

Awesome to see that people are still working on the greatest homebrew system ever made.
Luckely I can now get Xboxes for $10 in bulk at my shop lol.

I havent installed it yet because im so used to FCE, but the screenshots look amazing.

Keep up the work.
Now all I need is a proper Ps1 emu that doesnt have to have different core settings amongst other things for each game I play lol.

Again, your work is very much appreciated here.

I'm a little confused on this release here. Does this come with the screenshots/boxart preinstalled? Like with Surreal 64? Or do you have to add all the boxart/screenshots manually like all the other emulators?

Beautiful release. I'm so happy you are keeping the xbox homebrew legacy going. I will try it out soon as xbins stops acting up for me. Thanks again.

Congrats to the whole team! We are still playing nes with my boyfriend in 2009 on our xbox thanks to guys like you!

edit: we have always wanted infos for our games (too lazy to spend hours on the Internet to search for infos for our obscure ones), it's really a huge and great work you have done!
We have ~500 nes games and the synopsis is displayed for almost 80% of them, in fact the synopsis is generally not displayed for our jap roms, is it normal?

For the moment we are using "sdtv big boxart big screenshot setting", and have downloaded the ressurectionXtras,our screenshots and boxarts are displayed in the same time; we haven't downoaded the videos previews yet
Is it possible to display videos when there is one, and display screenshot when there isn't videos?

hey madmab, congrats on the pre-release!! sorry i havent sent this to you yet, i had to wipe the hard drive on the pc with the all the files i had. no biggie though as i can easily have it back.

im in the process atm of redoing it, im just glad i saved it when i did! keep an eye out here in the next day or two, these are mapper fixes for mapper #2-now plays best of the best karate, paperboy II (no more grey screen) and also mapper #138 i beleive which is crime busters. I post back with a detailed list.

don't want to de-rail the thread here, great job man! i look forward to trying this out. Ill be messaging you in a day or two with the adquete files.

At this point the only Japanese games that are covered are the ones that are part of the RessurectionXtra's. But the Synopsis is designed in such a way that they can easily be added. In fact if you have a game who's description you know is in the synopsis, but it doesn't come up. Report the CRC that is displayed to us so we can add it. You can easily add it yourself but by telling us it allows us to update the master synopsis file.

So if someone is willing to add descriptions for some missing stuff feel free to volunteer. Be sure to see the synopsis hot potato thread and co-ordinate thru RessX.

Is it possible to display videos when there is one, and display screenshot when there isn't videos?

Yes gilles999 has been gracious enough to set up his skins so that if there is no movie to display it will show the action and title shots (if available). I personallly stream the movies off of a PC using a relax share. Samba works as well but has a tendancy to timeout for some oddball reason.

Hey! Welcome back. I guess I'll have to figure out what to do with those mapper fixes. Maybe I can upload a standalone default.xbe and tell people to download that if they want the fixes, until a full release is done.

[dokworm]

Awesome to finally get this out there. Hopefully this gets some well deserved coverage and renews some life into the scene. Fortunately, it won't take a year for each release and there are now 16 XPORT emulators total that have been updated to some stage of the process so far.

I'm close to getting the NES to its true "final" state as far as the Xtras go. When I do, I'll have to make a torrent of this stuff so people don't have to go through all the BS setting it up. I've tried to make that as easy as possible, but for the casual gamer it's still a pretty daunting task and it would be a shame if a lot of people didn't experience the full effect of all of our work here because the learning curve is still kinda steep setting the Xtras up.

Dammit. Rules here about stuff, rules there about stuff. Even the torrent site I frequent that allows every rom under the sun won't allow me to post anything with XBox code in it, so even though I could post every other single thing on my NES setup they'd still have to go through the bitch of a time figuring out the "usual spot" for the first time if they've never used it before just to get the emulator. Then we've got our "other spot" but there are so little people there it's hardly worth the effort.

Got to figure out the best way of doing this where it gets the most exposure and is set up so a 2 year old could do it.

Please... be smart. If you have an idea, don't post it in the open forums. By now most of you know of other ways to get in contact with me.

Congrats to everyone involved on the release!

Put it on alt.binaries.games.xbox
Once it is up on the newsgroups, heaps of people can access it and they don't have to worry about whether there are seeders, or any of that stuff. Then it tends to end up all over the torrent sites once the newsgroup leechers have pulled it down and started to share it in other ways.

hey thanks madmab! great work again, yea man im on and off but have been through alot in the last 4 months so i hope you guys can understand, losing your mom is really hard no matter what age you are or how tough you think you are.

yea, about the mapper fixes, these mapper fixes have allowed some hacks for games like mario brothers that didnt work before to run now. lol.

so some extensive testing is in the background im sure. give me a day or two to get it all together and ill send you the files. all you pretty much need to do is just replace the corresponding files with the new ones, im sure you already know that though. while not a breakthrough by any means a few more good games is better than none im sure.

once again be on the lookout madmab and everyone.

Yea ResX Xtras are mostly suppose to be USA games I think and as Madmab said check out the synopsis.txt and post any updates you make in a seperate txt file here.

I would just like to say Congrats to the entire team for their amazing dedication to this piece of work!

I have a few comments.

1. I believe to have found a bug in the emulator. There's a feature in the emulator where your able to cycle through whatever screenshots you have for whatever game is highlighted. If however you highlight a game, that has no screenshots at all, and cycle, the emulator will crash.

2. I'm a little confused on gettting dual images to appear. For example, I have Super Mario Bros 3. The screenshot folder for that game i have 3 png files in there. "000.png 001.png 002.png" a pic of the cartridge, a pic of the box, and a regular screenshot. My question is, are they supposed to be named differently to be seperate? do i need to manualy create a seperate screenshot folder or something?

3. I would like to personaly thank the team, for including my hack into the Synopsis! I feel very humbled to have found my hack,
"Megaman Ultra" in the Synopsis!

For those that don't know what "Megaman Ultra" is, just YouTube it, people have uploaded many videos on it. You'll also find some videos of my current project Megaman Ultra 2 - The Rise of X"
