Just found this news on xboxhacker.org...
User "Gligli" is working on improving the legal Dev enviroment for 360 Homebrew- Libxenon and he started porting a N64 for showing this off. Here is his post:



This sure looks intresting and shows that legal coding for xell/libxenon is quite powerfull...
i hope this revives the lega homebrew scene

looks very interesting and its looking good, cant wait to see more

Awesome! Im all for legal howebrew, keep up the great work!

Fantastic. I've had the itch for libxenon homebrew for a long time. Looks like I'll need to grab another IRC client and talk with Gligli.

Sweet news

Time to scratch that itch, Aldanga

FFS.. It's running Nintendo's Super Mario 64 code.

All this BS about legal this and that. Certain hackers that do not condone piracy, yet create emulators, blah blah.

Just do what you gotta do. Call it life.

Awesome work by the way.

imo there is a huge difference between opensource dev tools and stolen ones from MS...
as for emus, the program itself is 100% legal, how you get your roms is the question...

PS:
i wonder how long did he work on the emu, if you compare it with the emu by LoveMHZ it seems much more advanced... nothing against LoveMHZ work for the scene but maybe Homebrew coding could be even easier when the tools advance more. I might be wrong but i think with libxenon coding there should be debugging possible through a serial adapter?

Link to topic on xbh?

nvm http://www.xboxhacker.org/index.php?topic=15617.0

Yeah, It's perfectly legal to emulate your roms as long as you own the cartridges.

I indeed use the serial port for debugging, I even wrote a macro to do simple breakpoints.
As tools, I have a linux virtual machine to compile code, but I use visual studio to write code, it's not required at all but I like intellisense and all the others nice VS things.

This is some of the best news i heard about the 360 scene in a long, long time. I hope this will encourage more people to take the legal route. I know we can boot back into xell from a xex file, but can we make containers to make other programs run automatically after xell boots from booting it from a xex file? Lol i hope that question made some sense. Thank you very much gligli and everyone else who originally put Libxenon together!!! This scene needs more people like you!

Someone would just have to code a libxenon gui, as far as i know there are some arround allready, but not that advanced...
and we have to get xell working with hdmi...

@gligli:
i wonder if the quite huge gc/wii dev scene is a good way to start ports? or are those consoles just too different?

6 years and counting...

@gligli is there a way to donate to this n64 emu project?

Maybe travel back in time about 15 years ago and hand over £5 for it

I did
However I cant stand my nintendo 64 on my 55 TV I bought last year
Id gladly pay nintendo or ms for a revision of goldeneye but they dont hear me
instead I got suckered into spending $50 on the wii game that came out in nov

No, those consoles share the same CPU architecture (PowerPC) with the 360, so any work on wii/gc dynarecs or assembler optimisations can be directly ported to the 360 with few modifications. And of course it will run way faster on the 360 .
In fact my N64 emu port comes from Wii64, that's why it's so advanced, I only started the project about a week ago, and spend most of my time working on the gfx renderer (this needs to be rewritten for the 360).


Well you can donate coding time, but I don't need any money right now .

So essentially this could be huge for the 369 homebrew scene right? Pretty much every open source homebrew for the wii and others should be able to be ported with little effort and a little optimization?

if this is so I am very excited

Good news! Our Jtags need a little defibrillation.Keep it up
Merry Xmas btw !

i cant wait tooo this is why i got a jtag .keep up the good work

awsome

i sold my hombrew wii for to buy a jtag 360
wii emus and mplayer ce port somewhat easily
Awesome:)

cant wait for release

More stuff like this could bring tmbinc back into the scene, you never know.

Great work.

I would love a N64 Emulator for my JTAG, frickin' love that console!
The xBox1 emulator was kinda sucky, it was like "Here's a list of all the N64 games you loved, but we'll only let you start about 1/5th of them. And those will lagg.
But if an emulator were to come for the 360, running full speed. Watch out New Tetris 64, I'm back, making golder squares all over the place! And maybe some Pilotwings. Mario 64 goes without saying. Same with Mario Partys, Kart and Zeldas. There are so many good games, aaagh

And of course, 4 player Goldeneye with wireless controllers and no lagg on HD Projector. Awsomeness.

I hope this somehow gets finished, dont care when, just that it does I'm not selling my JTAG or original N64 games, so as long as it's done before I die (or don't have 3 more friends to play with), I'll die with a smile

Wow Amazing stuff... I wish I could code I would definitely be all in.
If porting from the wii is possible someone needs to look at wiimc The newest revisions are pretty solid. If I could have that in FSD Id be extremely happy

Also the wii has a pretty decent ds emulator way ahead of the one for the 360

On the original xbox with the hard work of freakdave that emu is pretty badass on my 128mb xbox! it opens 95% of games and plays a good 80% at full speed but sadly multiplayer goldeneye still doesnt run. 64mb just doesnt cut it for that emu

if wii homebrew code only needs some optimizations to work in xbox360, i wish if someone could try mplayer port. we need a movie player :|

Gligli just updated his blog with news and a new video of his n64 emu port.
http://gligli360.blogspot.com/

Looks very promising, cant wait to try this... imo a Menu and sound is the only thing missing

Achievement unlocked! 1000G
Very impressive... gligli rocks

That should be on the front page

simply awesome work.

this really should be on the front page...

Second that.

This is really great news. Hope it gets released soon.

Fantastic news, keep it up gligli!!
