I can't wait for an update.

Hopefully one is coming soon!

HOLY CRAP! I just heard about this, and flipped out. Great stuff. Props to everyone involved. Is this final release or will bug fixes be coming out?

CLOCKFACE, sorry for the late reply. Real life got in the way. Thanks so much for the incredible info! I'm sorry to hear I won't be playing Doom The Revenge! Argh!
Dude, why in the hell would a coder port Marathon and NOT RELEASE it??? I've been dying to play those game...to be able to play them on the xbox would be a dream! What happened???

I'm going to have to check out this XDuke...I thought DukeX played alright but if you say XDuke is better, I'm there!
Shadow Warrior on the Xbox??? What the hell is it called??? I had no idea! Blood would be a great port too!

ROCKY5, ARE YOU SERIOUS!??? Revenge plays???? Oh man!!! SICK!!!!! I gotta try it right now! YES!!!

Thanks to both of you!

I haven't made up my mind as to wether or not I would release it or not just the SDL version for windows so it could be ported to xbox WAY easier. So if I dont actually port it to xbox I will make it compilable for SDL on windows.

Clockface can you send me a link to info on Shadow Warrior / a500? I looked but I'm not seeing anything. Searching for a500 is just bringing back emulator matches!

I haven't really done much at all latel on this (been a bit busy)

What's the BIGGEST problem you guys find with the code? the real show stopper? I can at least try get that done

a500??? A600 did that port.

Ahh, thanks Retroplay. Duh.

Just from an informal 5 minute search, it looks like he got bored and moved on to other systems. Sucks bigtime. The xbox would have been the ideal system for me to experience Marathon for the first time!

Maybe the Water rendering or music playback...
Your port truly rocks man.

Music is the biggest.

This is an awesome port very nice to finally have it on xbox. Music support and maybe the option for different screen resolutions?

Music, video, water rendering

If that's done, then you have a extremely close-to-perfect port.

Water is fixed and music is in, but I just need to find the time to fix up a few other little oddities before I can release something useful

Sounds awesome sirlemonhead, good work.

That is great news.

hey i know this is off topic but yeah i'm lazy lol.

my friend just told me that a sega saturn emulator just went open source and is being ported to the psp. anybody hear any action insofar as the xbox is concerned?

and also, i read somewhere that a 3do emu just went open source too.
just wondering if anyone knows if anyone is working to port these emus to the xbox???

Wrong thread to ask in....

i'll take that as an 'i don't know'

Don't take it as an I don't know take it as "you're posting the question in not only the wrong thread but the wrong section of the forums completely." Why would you post that in this thread, what does a sega saturn and 3do emulator have to do with Aliens vs. Predator?

a better question is why you're so aggravated. i asked a goddamned question. relax. i figured the people watching this thread are pretty knowledgeable in this scene. i'll never in a million years understand why people posting on forums like this have a propensity to act like little girls when people do things out of the ordinary.
are you that obsessive compulsive???

He's not aggravated at all, he's perfectly calm and polite, and simply pointed out that this is the wrong forum for your question - you should post in the emulators forum.

Anyway, I've not heard of the emulator you mention (I only really bother with emulators of the ZX Spectrum, C64 and a couple of others) but it seems unlikely to me that the PSP would have the power to properly emulate a Saturn. I'm not stating as a fact that it couldn't, as I might well be wrong, but I thought that emulating the Saturn would require a lot of CPU power, even pushing the XBox's capabilities, due to the Saturn's custom chips.

Can you post some links to the emulator, please? Just saying "My friend said.." isn't too helpful in tracking down the emulator you mean.

I don't have any info on the 3do emu but if you go to the Wii section of DCemu you'll see a sega saturn emulator was released today for the WII! Its called Yabause.
Only running a few games right now but certainly the orig xbox could handle something the Wii is running...no?

Yabause has been ported to the wii for quite a while now and its framerate is terrible (i ran alien trilogy and only got 1/2 frames per second). It just doesnt have the horsepower to run the games at full speed, therefore neither would the xbox imho.

Besides for some gems like Radiant Silvergun and Legend of Oasis, and Guardian Heroes the Saturn was poo imo. You can play alien trilogy close to perfect on pcsxbox, and the game performed better on the psx as well than on the Saturn.

C'mon guys, back on topic: Bring on AvPG1.1

Yeah, this will be really good...

i just need an excuse to play panzer dragoon saga...never played it!

Thats nice....now back to the topic.

Got the french language file to display correctly now I think

AAAhhhhhhh!!!
Good news for the froggies!Me and a lot of my friends can't enjoy this fantastic port for this very reason!
French language was the only one causing problems?

I don't have any other language files to test, so I'm not sure. Hopefully they're all ok now

I was wondering if the xbox was powerfull enough to display the videos on the first stage wall? (on the pc versions, there is a us marine speaking to us; i don't really remember what he said, something like: go!go!go! shoot those fuckin aliens, it was cool)

French language fixed, bg music, the xbox summer will be hot!

So far I've been running out of memory trying to get some of the videos to display. I'm still working on that code though so hopefully it won't be a problem.

Thanks for the updates dude.

Does anyone want to do some testing for me?

I wouldn't mind testing this puppy.

I would like to do some testing as well....

One word.. WOW !!
Everything is really working well.
The CDDA tracks (ogg files) really adds to the tension in the game.

Sounds cool and I want it now hehe

I just tried this out and must say its coming along nice, the sound does make you get into it more and cant wait till you add any video/or any thing else into it, was it just me or did you add the pre configured-controls to the predator, thats the only character I tried Im guessing your going to do that with all 3 of them. good stuff none the less.

If you need me to beta-test anything in the future feel free to send it my way so far I havnt experienced any bugs

No bugs found here either.

Hey, is the new version already out or you're beta testers? How can I get the updated version?

It's not out to the public yet.
I guess if you ask sirlemonhead nicely he'll let you test it aswell.

Is this any closer to a release?

@sirlemonhead.
Do you have any plans of 720p support?

we havnt heard from you ina while,sirlemonhead.Hows it coming along anything new worth mentioning?

Sorry, been a bit busy (I also got hold of the source code for Forsaken so i've been working on that..)

I reckon I might as well make another release soon. Still not sure what i'll do about video playback. I guess i'll go with the native xbox video format!

sounds really good sirlemonhead, i was wondering if you had put your hands on this nasty "text bug" (where the text displayed on screen is totally glitchy, me and 2 of my friends were unable to play your first version for this really reason (impossible to configure the options,controls,etc... when the text is totally glitchy due to one bug)Be sure your port is amazing, that's just more people should enjoy it man

The one with the missing letters on the French text?

in the page 31 of the thread, i was explaining my bug:

the main screen says:
crGgSLIMaVGcDTtTcaGUioATpedL_Leghr_
right up at the top, dunno if thats helpful or anything,

same bug for me,
I'm using the alien vs predator gold edition "best seller series" in france;
and when i choose to install this in french, some menus appears with the good french names, and most of the menus don't appear at all;

I have tried it with a xbox avp gold homebrew torrent with us language, that worked for a lot of guys, and for me (and 2 of my friends with xbox(1.0 1.1 and 1.6), same bug, really strange

I don't have too much infos, we have all xbmc as our dashboard, me i play in 720p component, my friends with rgb cables. If you go blindly in the menus you can play the game though...
