It's not the xbox running CHIHIRO, it's based on the xbox config.

Yes, I think the same. It will probably make it easier to make an emu. And if that hardware will make it .xbe's then the one's that got it can copy those files and put it on xbins so we can use it with our legal copies.

outrun 2 is out in england, when i went to both heathrow and gatwick airports they both have it in some of the arcades. (in north terminal in gatwick and terminal 1 in heathrow)


so if you don't believe me go there, its in heathrow before yyou go in the depature terminal anyway so you can just walk in there and play.

these roms wont run on the xbox through a emulator.....they will load like a normal xbox game would (your chance of virtual memory is rather slim)

Mkay. So. Nobody here will believe you (including me) unless they see that ROM dumped on their own xbox. Set up a torrent, seed it and everyone will believe you. But some video could easily be faked with no problems at all.

Anyways. If this is true, I'd like to thank you for showing yet another use of the xbox. biggrin.gif

But best not post a link to the torrent here, because I'd imagine that would be against the rules.

Thought vf final tuned was naomi 2 , I mean why would sega develop a game on different hardware if its just an update as far as i can see the few games using the chiriro hardware are the only games we will see on it but Virtua Cop 3 would be cool to have as a home version


You're right, it's NAOMI 2, and not Chihiro-based.

None of you guys get this. if sega have made an arcade machine based on xbox hardware that has files that are .xbes then there is going to be development of games for it long into the future. this is great and no emulator would be needed as it would run natively on xbox hardware
The xbox has a 733 processor so i dont see a problem there either

as to whether this is actually possible well the damn thing is listed as a prototype so who knows if itl actually get made.

As to the ram well if theyve done then hopefully its possible for a decent backyard modder but im sure( or hope tongue.gif) most games made for it will not need it.

I hope we will see dumps of the roms or whatever in the usual places. I really need to get my hands on Virtua Cop 3.
Well I could always buy Virtua Cop 3 + Chichiro Hardware @ Amazon.com

All i gotta say is WOW! This could be some of the biggest news on the scene in a while.

I heard some time back that MS was trying to get the box into arcades and this could be what it was meaning.

But i would love to get Virtua Cop 3 on the box....

I think that the memory upgrade is going to be the biggest hurdle though.

I imagine that the games will all be the same as shown with Crazy Taxi 3, with XBE executables, but would freeze or crash due to memory issues.

I assume the games could be modified/hacked in the XDK though. The idea of vitual memory is not to far fatched as the xbox already uses it with its XYZ drives.

I see no reason why an xbox couldn't be upgraded to 512 MB of ram, it would be a difficult mod to do but technicly there should be no problem doing so. remove existing memory chips, replace with larger capacity chips, just need to make sure you get the right type of ram chips and proper speed.

pic's of the inside of this thing would be great I'd be very intrested to see what's going on in there.

hopefully we can get a bios dump from it also.

you couldn't just place 'bigger' chips in there,

the address lines for a start would need to be 1 bit bigger for the extra memory,


what I believe 'should' be possible would be to piggy back the chips, pin for pin, and use the CS line on pin 28 to access the different memory chips,


wouldn't make much difference for games, but a bios hack should not be too difficult to implement

what would be fantastic is if the extra data line is available from the GPU, but not connected!

The extra ram is on a seperate "media board".. probably on the lpc, same as the super i/o board on dev kits.

and they support upto 1gig of ram.
