that would be so friggin' cool.    If it's a port of the original 64bit arcade machine, not the half assed SNES port.

I believe an upcoming release of Mame for the PC will incorporate Killer Instinct 1 and 2 Head over to mameworld.net I read it there last week. so it wouldnt be 2 hard for xbox mame to be updated also.

I really don't think the Xbox has enough RAM to cope with the gigantic amout of graphics data that KI uses.

That would be awsome, but I heard that some games that are smaller do not even work in mame, so I doubt this will work either.

                                    Yeah, not unless we have some programming prodigy that rewrites the routines to use the pixel shaders on the graphics chip

The  Xbox should have enough ram to handle the actual ROM portion of the game.  in the arcade machine itself, it's a standard set of rom chips with a Hard Drive image for the full motion and other parts to the game.  source code is at rcp.emuhq.com if anyone wants to look into the possibility of porting it.

This is from RCP the original programmer on the KI U64 EMU

It wouldn't be difficult at all.

I have no interest in doing it, however, anyone is free to do it. Keep in mind it might now work that well as the XBox CPU is really not all that fast.

Also, Mame will probably support KI&KI2 soon, so that may be your 'port' right there."

I agree completely, great game.

The XBox has enough RAM to run KI. KI doesn't have very large ROMS, just a HUGE HDD Image, which does not need to be loaded into your PC's or XBox's RAM.                                    

[Gackt]

Good point.                                    

[LumbraX]

It can be ported "ONLY" if the authors released the Source Code.

[Gackt]

The emulator is open-source actually, like many PlayStation emulators. I, myself, do not have the knowledge to port them, but, I believe that it would be nice if any of you can port any of these.

Who needs KI emulation?!  I remember when I owned a cabinet that I had 3 arcade games installed in:  MK2, KI1 and KI2

I worked at an arcade and the owner just gave me the games instead of selling them used - he'd keep the cabinets.  

Brought it to my fraternity where it was a huge hit - it was set on free play.  I even finally got good at Jago - a finess character.  But then, the games just got boring.  The foosball table gradually returned to its previous game-of-choice status.

Thinking about it now, I wish I had kept if for myself.  The fraternity still has the cabinet - I should go pick it up but then my wife would kill me...
