Thank you for all of your work and tireless efforts in making quality emulation a reality on the XBox.  Your emulators singlehandedly made what could have been an average system completely indispensable for classic gamers.  The quality and features that you implemented into your projects helped raise the bar for all of the other great emulators on the XBox like ZsnexBox and Surreal 64.  Thanks again for everything and for being so patient with everyone's ideas and requests.

I would also like to give a big thank you for the incredible amount of time you've taken from your personal life to give the xbox scene something that we would of other wise never of had! I would be honored to help continue your projects! I just require a small push in the right direction. What do I need to learn in order to understand source code, improve/upgrade emulators, different program tools I would need, etc. I'm a super quick learner when it comes to this kind of thing. I just don't know where to go to or what I need in order to be able to understand everything I would need to know. Your advice on this would be the best I could of ever hoped for! I have been wanting to learn about this subject for some time now. With the release of your source codes, what better way to sharpen and improve my skills!  Everyday the xbox scene is getting closer and closer to its end. Its up to us as a community to help maintain, and continue, these homebrew programs that we have all come to love and enjoy! Great work xport! I wish you the best!

Sorry - I don't have the time to walk someone through something like this, especially if they are starting from scratch.  I can answer pointed questions, but nothing open-ended.

And oh yes - thank you everyone for the kind sentiments.  It's definitely appreciated.

Well after much puzzlement and a partially succesful update of the recently released atarixlbox to a later version (from 1.3.0 to 1.3.2) I finally figured out what the deal is/was with the sound problems using the new pokey emulation.  

Seems that setting the number of pokey's to 2 fixes the problem.  Now since that is a rather weird way to solve the problem (considering the design of the original machine itself).  This issue does not seem to affect the windows/dos version of this particular emulator.  This seems to be some bizzaro world issue that only plague's the xbox I'm not sure what to think.

I updated the Atarixlbox Current Discussion thread.  So if anyone wants to talk more about it, just hop over there!

Anyways thanks x-port for releasing the code since you don't have time to do anything with it.  Mucho appreciated!  I'm one happy camper.

You are awesome. Thank you for all you hard work in the past, present and future on occasion!

Xport,

All the posts you see here are probably only the tip of the iceberg. You've enabled countless hours of fun, partying, enjoyment and nostalgia in tens of thousands of living rooms everywhere in the world. I myself have setup xbox emulation boxes on 10-15 of my friends who have no idea where those emulators come from - I'm sure a lot of people in here have setup their friends too.

The xbox will probably be remembered as the most homebrewed console in history, mostly because it could run & emulate so many other systems. One thing's for sure; I'll hang on to my xbox console as long as I can, and show it to my kids when I'll have some so they know what it was like in the early days.

Your ports will live on for years.

Be very proud man.
Cheers.

Thanks.

I love you.

Thank you for all of the wonderful work over the years Xport!

You have single handedly made the Xbox much more fun to own and use. Your emulators and XBMC is the only reason I still use my Xbox.

Again, thank you and good luck on your personal endeavours

Wouldn't it be a good idea to pin this topic at somepoint for latecomers?

Sure why not.

[Retroplay]

You can do that already.
I have Elvira, Elvira 2 and Waxworks setup like this, arrow keys mapped to D-Pad etc.
Works great.

I love you.

I second that.

[Harlock_Gbase]

Ok, late reply on that, but i can't seem to find where to redefine controller input for a specific game. Can anybody advise me how to do that? Would really love to be able to play North & South with a friend. Should remap the keyboard player to the second controller to be able to do that...

Thanks in advance for the help!

[Adropacrich2]

Iv'e said this once or twice before but i think it's worth saying again.Thanks so very much for all your hard work in porting these fabulous emulators.I play most of these on a 14" crt and the effect is like exactly it was all those years ago - it's an effect you just don't get on a pc monitor.Using your easy yet hugely customisable setup is a joy and you should be very proud of it's design.Now just to get a couple of new tv's and i'll be set up for the rest of my retro gaming days.

Great work for you truly are a star
