Update 360 Emulator
« on: November 30, 2005, 08:55:00 PM »
While playing Halo 2 on my 360 I have noticed frame rate drops, and strange ghosting of images that don't go away until I reboot the game.

I have it hooked up to a 55 inch Mitsubishi that does 1080i and have also noticed Halo 2 is very bright and I actually have to turn the brightness down to get the correct picture.

Has anyone else noticed the brightness issue?

Also does anyone have any info on when the emulator might be updated and if it will be updated?

Does anyone know who to call so MS knows about the issue and will do something about it.

Overall I am very impressed with all the 360 games I own I am only having slight issues with Halo 2.

Thanks for any info in advance.

The emulator will continue to be updated frequently according the MS.  I notice the xbox games are much brighter too.  I always thought Xbox games were a little dark, to me at least, maybe MS thought so too, and upped the brightness for the emulator.  It could be a little darker though.  I haven't played much Halo 2 though on 360 yet, so I'm not sure about those issues.  Have you updated the emulator since you got the system?

I transferred my Xbox live account so I would assume it updated automatically. I have read on xbox.com of other people have the ghosting image I was talking about.

It is like an image of a previous place you were at in game gets stuck and is lightly overlaid on the normal in game image. After a restart it goes away.

I hope MS fixes this soon!!

Not only is Halo 2 brighter, but it's VERY BUGGY.

We play Halo2 system link at my house every wednesday with 8-16 people.  Last night, while playing with 2 360's in system link, we had the sound cut out several times, game speed varied wildly, from slowdown to running and jumping WAAAAY too fast, at one point the game simply refused to load capture the flag on coagulation, coming up with a "Failed to Load map" error, but for some reason decided it wanted to load the map 20 minutes later after playing a few different levels, and the for some strange reason when you use the communicator, voices pretty much only comes out of the headset now instead of through your stereo speakers, and is muffled to hell.

The more frustrated we got, the more we realized how stupid MS was for not simply releasing a recompiled version of Halo 2 for the 360.  Not only is there no Halo game coming out for the 360 for at least a year, but people who invest thousands of dollars to "upgrade" to a 360 now get the pleasure of having Halo 2 play MUCH, MUCH worse.  

Just another reason to hate MS.

I love Halo, so don't take this the wrong way, but I haven't even had the desire to play now that I have the 360.

Why is being able to play on the 360 important to you?  Isn't the whole idea to be able to play the next-gen games, that take advantage of the systems capabilities?

I agree that so far no game holds a candle to halo 2 online.

The thing that pisses me off is that MS would release such a half assed emulating program. I guess I should expect it, when halo 2 came out it wouldn't sync with HDTV’s and the screen was cut off. I don’t know if anyone remembers that but I had to wait for a couple months before they fixed it.

They better fix the emulator.

Yeah, I have had sound glitches too, a relief to see this though, because this was the last thing on my list of fucked up things with my 360 that I can now check off!...which means my 360 is running perfectly fine now biggrin.gif  Just software problems with PDZ and H2...anyways yeah, I hope this shit gets fixed...I don't like when the surroundsound goes all fucked up and cuts out and shit...

how bout trying to play it on a regular xbox?  and why did it cost "thousands" to upgrade to a 360?
BTW, M$ didnt choose to emulate the xbox1 games, they had to bacause they didn't own the rights to the original xbox processer.
