xsnes9x is almost flawless, and anyway zsnes and snes9x are now developped by mostly the same developpers
Post by: lantus on January 10, 2004, 07:39:00 PM
besides, wasnt there a 6 page thread about reasons why XPort needs to port zsnes?
Post by: XDelusion on January 10, 2004, 07:57:00 PM
Seriously though, why wouldn't anyone want this ported, viriety is a good thing, GOOD THING! Ok?
There are a handful of games that ZSNES still does that Snes9x does not, so why not bring it over to the XBOX.

Either way, you still can't code, stop trying to change the subject!

I recently played Super Mario Kart on a real super nintendo then on xsnes9x and noticed no difference. Not quite sure what you mean by it emulates the game far better.

New version plays it perfectly!

Ok, so if you were a super-hacker you could perhaps hunt through the endless compiler errors and work out what the exceptions were, re-write some portions for the API available on the X-box etc. You may see an ickle bit of speed increase (due to fewer API levels & function calls etc.) AND you will have a greater flexibility (if you understood the work you did).
BUT:
If you are a novice (and a lot of us are!) Lantus has done all the hard work for you by providing the SDL lib!
Cheers

Then again who knows if the cheat feature will be ported.
Oh yeah Zsnes movie playback is one of the most exciting things ever in emulation. You can watch and learn tricks you never knew about.
However to play a movie you need exactly the same verion of the emulator that was used to create the movie and most people will not tell which version they used to create the movie.

So pretty much anything written in SDL for PC can be compiled on the Xbox without modifications using your SDL port?
Post by: lantus on January 11, 2004, 02:49:00 PM
most SDL ports dont support joysticks though, so although you can get results up and running fast you still need to spend time adding in Joystick handlers .
OpenGL stuff still wont compile though for obvious reasons.

xSNES9x has always emulated Super Mario Kart better than the PC version.

Having just ported over exult (soon to be released), the answer is yes
.To get an app running initially is mostly a matter of getting it to compile in VS, then fixing path, command line bugs.
Then of course there is controller support to add, or possible network stuff, or memory optimizations or whatever.
It's pretty sweet!
Hey lantus, when are you going to port the OpenGL calls?

You are blind. Load up battle mode map 2 in XSnes9X. Notice the background water? Notice how messed up it is? Also, in the map load screen, the mode 7 effect is also messed up. Other maps have similar problems. Not to mention that the mode 7 graphics are not emulated correctly. Sometimes walls are completely invisible in Snes9x. Also, the sound, controls, and graphics are far off from the real thing.
I somehow doubt that you really compared the two side-by-side. I currently have both my Xbox and Snes hooked up to the same TV. Its really easy to notice the differences by flipping back and forth between the two video inputs.
Lantus agreed with me when I pointed those bugs out. ZSnes at least does a better job at emulated the graphics of Super Mario Kart. However, neither ZSnes nor SNes9x completely correctly emulate the DSP chip that Super Mario Kart uses.

Interesting, so would it be quite "easy" to port the SDL version of Abuse - link?
I'm not asking you to port it Lantus, just asking if I'd be able to do it without a degree in computer science.
