| PCSXBox - PSX Emulator for XBox v1 http://xport.xb-power.com http://www.pcsx.net/ What's New : - Emulates Playstation - Memory Card manager (select from 10 memory cards) - Save states (LTRIGGER+BLACK and LTRIGGER+WHITE) - Cheat code searching - Gameshark code-compatible - Gameshark cheat code database with codes for over 1700 games - Remappable PSX buttons - Throttle/speed-up - Supports BIN files or GZIP'd BIN files. (GZIP is not the same as ZIP) - Background - Thanks to CandyISO for the background image - True Type Font - Thanks to CandyISO for this PSX font - MP3 support - XPort's Configurable PlayThing ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Press Y from the main menu for help. Press LTHUMB from main menu for Configuration Press RTHUMB from main menu to switch between CDROM Drive and Hard Drive Press LTHUMB during gameplay for the options menu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Many thanks go out to the PCSX team for this great emulator and also to Jens Duttke for his Gameshark cheat code database. Also thanks to Lantus for helping me with the PAL issues I was having. Hopefully PAL users will be able to enjoy this just as much as NTSC users. Further thanks to CandyISO for providing the background and TTF font. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This version does not support real CDs. There are a different set of technical hurdles involved with PSX cds than with SegaCD and PCE CD/SCD. I was finally able to get the XBox to read XA sectors, but it reads them much too slowly for anyone to want to play games using it. (Reads about 2.5KB per second) For now, create BIN/CUE's of your PSX games and either copy them to your HD or burn them to DVDR/CDRW. Your BIN and CUE files should have the same names: For example: GAMENAME.BIN GAMENAME.CUE is a valid combination and GAMENAME01.BIN GAMENAME.CUE is not. Furthermore, if you use GZIP to compress your BIN image, you will end up with a filename like GAMENAME.BIN.GZ This means that you need to rename your CUE file to be: GAMENAME.BIN.CUE or you could rename the GZ file so that the two files are: GAMENAME.GZ GAMENAME.CUE make sense? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- A note about GZIP'ing your images. Yes, they will work, but you will suffer a performance hit because there's no "true" direct access to any position in the file. Let's say the game is reading sectors 1 to 100 - it'll read them lickity-split, but then when it requests, say, sector 30000 is has to scan through and do some processing on sectors 100 to 30000 before it can read the data instead of just jumping directly to that spot and reading. This is the nature of compression. No, cacheing of data does not help in this case. So, in a nutshell, compression is supported, but I advise against it unless you run from the HD and have replaced the standard XBox HD with a faster one. You can make an XBox ISO with a BIN/CUE image on it, burn it to a disc, run PCSXBox from the HD, then press the RTHUMB button to get a listing of files on the disc. This is to make upgrading easier for those who prefer to keep BIN/CUE images on disc instead of on the HD. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- When you select the BIN file to load, you will be presented with an options menu. You can start the game using one of two different BIOS methods. Using an actual BIOS file for the emulation is the most compatible, however it's a little slower than HLE. Try both and see which one works best for the game you're playing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- There is also a section for changing the graphics options. If the game you want to play has graphics problems or isn't displaying graphics (but you can hear sound) then you might want to try fiddling with some of the graphics options. There is also a specific CPU option in this section for fixing Parasite Eve and Vandal Hearts 1 and 2. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Also on this options menu is the memory card manager. From this section, you can change the memory cards that are in slots one and two. You have ten different cards you can use. Please note that changing the card number while playing a game *does not* switch the actual memory card that the game is using. ------------------------------ XPort's Configurable PlayThing ------------------------------ This is part of a project I did many years ago that fiddles with curves and trajectories. I thought it would look nice on the XBox. You be the judge. using the B button. (Hint - fiddle with the X and Y Multipliers on the "Squiggle" effect.) Stella, Gnuboy, SMSPlus, FCEUltra, HUGO, NeoPop, DGen, Bochs, HUGO-CD, FMSXBox, Bliss, WinSTon, Gens, Z26, StepmaniaX, PCSXBox....what's next? Enjoy! |

| I hate to be the only stinker here but I guess none of you own a PS2 or PS1? I thought the great thing about emulation was the ability to have ancient games that were no longer playable by easy standards compared to systems that still have a shelf life.......? Nice job though! It's always good to have progress. I'd personally like to see an update to MAME-X. Or what about a Jaguar emulator? |

| if you own a ps2 there absolutely no reason to play your ps1 games on xbox since the ps2 plays them alot better. Its kinda cool to try it out tho just to see its possible and stuff, but i prefer a real ps2 for actually playing my games |

| Can anyone confirm audio in a specific game? Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! It plays wonderfully, but I don't seem to be getting any audio. This is the one game I would love audio in. I am using the BIOS to play it as it looks the best that way. Am I missing an audio menu? I thought I looked everywhere... any thoughts? |

| There truely needs to be a XBOX tool that will rip the ps1 game to the correct Image file (BIN) and place it in the dicectory specified or a tool for the PC OTHER THAN cdr win that will make the ISO faster.. USING a 48X drive and take about 10 min a bin file. Let me know if anyone has any ideas or know what a good solution is. {{DEMON}} |

i dont think the graphics can improve that much untill someone figures out how to make a graphics plugin that uses the gpu. then it could look even better than a real psx. this wont happen unless theres a legal sdk. |

| I can't quite figure out what the heck I'm supposed to do! First, what can I use to make .BIN, .CUE files? CDRWin crashes my machine (3.9b) Second, once I get a working program to create the above files, WHERE do I put them? I think I havbe the right program (PCSXBOXV1.zip) and I found it in the usual places. (Just read this site very closely!) Anyway, I have a folder entiled psxcds. Do I place the games in their own folder in that psxcds folder? Then once, thats done, then what? Do I copy all this to the HD or do make a DVD out of this? I'm so confused. Somebody make some instructions - PLEASE!!!! |
