Original Xbox Thread

Do we finallly have emulation for it? Xbox, Saturn, Dreamcast, are like the three amazing obscure arcade focused systems that we have bad emulation for. In many ways Xbox is Dreamcast 2. And Xbox had it worst emulation.

Would that game work with a mouse + keyboard? So many keys and buttons.

prob one of my favorite dreamcast game

Maybe I'm a brainlet but I could not get a grip on this fucking game.

Shit, didn't realize it was out already.

The controls are ridiculous but make more sense the more you play it. It's definitely tough on your hands, not to mention the poor controller.

Not sure if this the original Xbox release, I think it's the PC version that was ported 6 months later. Same game, just better graphics.

I'm sad they're no longer making backwards compatible OG Xbox games on the Xbone. At least they did the Splinter Cell games before they stopped. OG Xbox Double Agent is the shit, best version by far.

emulation still seems to be pretty much "you can play jsrf with shitty audio issues" and it doesn't seem to be progressing past that.

they seemed to imply they'd resume once xbox scarlett was out. might mean xbone isn't getting anymore BC games but the scarlett might. scarlett will play every BC game xbone can today right off the bat so that's a huge head start if they decide to continue updating the BC catalogue

Man. Did it only get that first wave of games?

Mecha porn.

Emulator when?

It got 3 waves. And I think its just on hold untill the new Xbox comes out, so that they work on making all that works now work on that one too, at least thats how they spin that story

I hope so, I've been salivating for JSRF and Rallisport Challenge 2.

Xbox had some great games.
Jet Set Radio Future
Phantom Dust
Phantom Crash
Breakdown
Steel Battalion
Amped
Fusion Frenzy
Crimson Skies
Deathrow
Panzer Dragoon

Shit I might find one now. I miss having it around.

>Phantom Crash
Great stuff, but holy shit they could have made at least 2 more arenas to fight in. I hear the PS2 sequel fixes that and has more, but worse everything else.

This game is begging for a remake/sequel.

>Doom 3 coop
I remember playing it the first time with a friend and then playing the game alone only to realize coop is like 15% of the game.

I know, it's shockingly shortened, but still a good time.

Does it not have the best versions of Fatal Frame 1 & 2 and Timesplitters 2 & 3? It's too bad MGS2 and Silent Hill 2 are superior on PS2.

I remember being blown away by the snow.

Why?

the remake's multiplayer is different from the originals, i like both but L&R has online multiplayer

Where is halo? I think Halo is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills aliens and doesnt afraid of anything.

I booted up the Xbox version right now. Looks incredible but at times a little blurry thanks to the res scaling. It's so smooth though. I think it uses some sort of frame buffer blurring for movement because at times it feels like 60 when it seems like the xbox should not be hitting that.

yeah the remaster looks like shit.

this is the coolest shit ive ever seen. and it was done on a 6th gen console. holy fuck developers have gotten lazy

Vin Diesel is based, but he needs to hurry up and finish the movie series once and for all or maybe give us another game like the first one.

Battle front 2 ez

its really not a good game at all but I was hoping so bad wed get Star Wars Obi Wan playable on backcompat
theres just nowhere else to play some of these og Xbox games

i burnt a ton of hours on doom 3 on the og xbox but didn't get to play coop until i found some dude to play it with in 2008 on the 360, we both finished it in like 2 hours. fun while it lasted
no one ever talks about the xbox port of resurrection of evil. i never really cared for the actual expansion too much but they must've known it was short so the xbox version came with ultimate doom, doom 2, and master levels for doom 2 which was pretty based despite shit controls

If Diesel just wanted to become a producer for inspired games and fun action movies, nobody would stop him.

Xboxes are among the easiest consoles to softmod, there's no reason not to get one unless you're just not into opening up plastic shells.

the remaster is inferior to the original, which has had a translation for a long time.

That's a pretty scenic stage.

Mechassault master race

isn't this shit and severely unfinished?

Kind of like the Dreamcast, Xbox just had a lot of gems. Its just a shame they screwed up so hard this gen and 360 post 2011.

Never played any Souls games actually. I'm interested in Otogi for its combat mechanics specifically; they're deliberately floaty from what I've seen which leads to much of the combat being air-to-air, and there's also environmental destruction (not to mention 2 has 6 distinct playable characters, something I love in action games). Honestly based on what I know about Otogi, its gameplay is what I think the ideal single-player DBZ game should be like, but I want to actually play the games instead of watch footage.

Beyond Otogi & MWC, I'd also want to try out Gunvalkyrie, Breakdown, NG Black (even though I've played Sigma, just to feel the differences) and maybe Voodoo Vince. If I wanted to play multi-plats I'd get them for PS2.

Xbox got a great port of Max Payne 1. PS2 version even fucks up the cutscenes by having the comic panels all play at once instead of following the actors and having worse-looking text.

OG Xbox was an honorary SEGA console, pretty much. A Dreamcast 2 with Halo, barring the fact that the Gamecube got Sonic.

>Voodoo Vince.
You can get the remaster if you really want to it's even on PC

>Window store
I know. But still. it's there

Voodoo Vince is on Steam too, there's a bunch of racing games like Burnout, Project Gotham Racing, Outrun 2 which I thinbk has different physics than 2006 but 2006 has much more content and is also on PC with a bloom fix. Phantasy Star Online 2 which got DLC and you can play offline with a modded .xbe file is cool for splitscreen.

Yeah, the main reason I bought an Xbox (at midnight launch, no less) because it felt like it was the spiritual successor to the Dreamcast.

It's fucking bullshit that we haven't got a follow-up to Crimson Skies.

I remember playing the shit out of Fusion Frenzy with my friends, but it was the demo that was included on a re-print of Halo. Never got the full game for some reason but just played the shit out of the demo.

Started playing this for the first time a couple days ago. It's nice to have actual difficulty on normal compared to most games now.

This is some of the worst box art I've ever seen but I enjoyed the fuck out of the game. Surprised we've never had a more detailed limb-break system since.

It's pretty fun. The boast system is really annoying to engage with early on, but becomes way too useful later on. It's nothing mind blowing or life changing, but it's a nice adventure for what it is. Don't forget TLC.

I'm going to get crucified for this, but while NGB is arguably the best action game ever made, Itagaki has never made a game anywhere near as good; NG2 has slightly better combat but notably worse everything else, and nothing else he's made is even close to NG2 quality. DOA has never been anything special, and Devil's Third speaks for itself. He made a masterpiece but he never will again.

Attached: 1563896687506.jpg (1366x768, 149K)

Despite the lost potential, I still enjoyed it and remember being blown away by the bloom lighting. Also Danny Elfman's music.

TLC is definitely superior compared to the original release.

Yeah the soundtrack was amazing. Without it I wouldn't remember it as fondly for sure.

DOA is perfectly fine. It may not fill seats like Street Fighter but there's nothing wrong with it on a fundamental level.

NGII and Devil's Third are more the fault of his design philosophies not aligning with mainstream tastes and development (i.e. they're not shit). It isn't fair to blame him for Microdick or THQ not giving him the same respect as other, lesser developers.

He was a drunken shithead who has no hope of working in today's industry, but let's not pretend he didn't know how to make a game.

hold on there. devil's third multiplayer was top notch. if you enjoyed Timesplitters 2 you'd definitely have enjoyed the wacky multiplayer modes in DT. the base building mode was special too.

NGII was unfortunately rushed and it shows, particularly in its bosses, but I think it's still worthy of the Ninja Gaiden name. I feel it's better than the PS3 port which I think did more harm than good.

legit best game of that generation

Whenever the "NXE" came out for the 360 was pretty much the end. Of the Xbox line sure but also of like games in general.

It is the deepest third person shooter ever.

NG2 is a good game but it's definitely not the total package Black was is what I meant. DOA is also okay, but of the 3D fighting game subgenre I would call it my least favorite of the notable series; I prefer Tekken, VF, Soul Calibur, and even Bloody Roar. Especially VF, which feels the most similar to DOA, and I feel is just a lot more solid (and personally I much prefer Wolf Hawkfield to Bass).

Devils Third is unironically great.

Devil's Third worked better in terms of multiplayer, but it was basically dead on arrival. Even then it had some performance issues that really needed fixing. And the single player campaign while dumb fun was easily nowhere near as close as Ninja Gaiden Black or even games like Binary Domain for that matter. That game was too deep in dev hell to end up good and probably should've been scrapped or reworked.
I wonder what he's doing now though.

I want to give it another go, I half-assedly played a level or two when ti came out and uninstalled. Looks like a mid-tier action game, the kind you see tons of on PS2 but that all vanished after a year or two of the 7th gen for some reason.

>translation
It was always in English. It released that way.

That describes it pretty well. Moonman is stuck thoroughly in the 6th gen and I can appreciate that more than ever today.

The menu wasn't translated, it is with the patch.

I can definitely appreciate that obscure 6th gen action game vibe, but honestly most of the gems in that category are probably better than Devil's Third, at least as single-player games. I'd rather play Gungrave.

Apparently the MWC remaster looks worse.

Since this is an original Xbox thread, consider Magatama instead.

NGII doing its own thing is exactly why Itagaki was so great. He didn't just want to make Black 2, he wanted a sequel that built off of the foundation of its predecessor while having its own identity. It's a lesser game because he wasn't allowed to finish it, not because of any core design flaws.

That's the whole issue. Guys like Barlog and Itsuno are given carte blance to make vapid combo video bait or pretentious movie games, while Itagaki is much more deserving of auteur status.

actually what happened is they made a trailer that the devs weren't even aware about and looked nothing like the game itself and the devs suddenly had to make the game look like that.

what the fuck?
I remember them announcing it though

DOA is a much more grounded fighter with good balance and gameplay you dont see enough of in the FGC. Tiddies made it lose integrity though.
But yeah you're right, he peaked with NGB

I see. Sounds similar to all the bullshit MS told Kamiya to do to Scalebound (having it natively run at a high resolution that would hurt the framerate, adding co-op, etc.) only to cancel it 1 month out from release.

yes it was announced at e3 2014 and like most games there got cancelled.
it is similar to scalebound. it originally wasn't going to have a single player campaign, but MS suddenly demanded one without giving them more budget or time (budget was 5 million), and then they just kept demanding more without mercy, and when the devs said it's impossible, they pulled the plug.
it's a very different tune to today's ms/phil spencer saying "we are letting our new xbox games studios develop whatever they want and not forcing them to do shit." we have yet to see if this is true though.

Huh? OG Xbox didn't have a paid service back then.

Closest thing to a Dreamcast 2 we could get at the time.

Crazy Taxi, Panzer Dragoon, Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, and Project Gotham/Metropolis Street sequels all came out early on.

Other than the first 4 years or so of the 360, original Xbox is still my favorite console thing Microsoft has done. Year one of Xbox Live was a revelation to a guy that didn't do much PC gaming at the time. Still has the best custom soundtrack integration of any console.

Xbox Live existed back then and was $50 per year. Definitely worth it for Halo, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, etc, so many great games.

People underestimate Xbox because they largely forget about the unique games in its Library. When they think of it they just think it's a Halo machine. It doesn't help that a lot of the chance who bought it only got it for Halo. Honestly I wish more projects like the ones that were on the original Xbox what come out for Xbox One.

>at the time
Still is.

*chads

xbox felt futuristic back then, really eould be cool if current xbox rebranded and referenced some of the older xbox look and feel

It seems kinda unprofessional. The xbox one x and scarlett feel like very sleek and modern powerful machines. What youre thinking of is brand image. The brand seemed to have more grit back then, now it just feels like coke vs sonys pepsi.

OG Xbox is more like Dreamcast 1.5. DC and Xbox are technically same gen, but since the DC died so quickly the team was scooped up by the Xbox team, but the Xbox was so far in development they had little influence. Xbox 360 on the other hand was a Dreamcast 2 by heart. And I mean the first iteration of the 360 and until about the first dashboard redesign.

Sadly never going to happen due to music licenses.

>but since the DC died so quickly the team was scooped up by the Xbox team
What? Microsoft didnt scoop up any sega team. They had already been working with each other during dreamcast development.

are you saying grit seems unprofessional? be more specific.

Then why does sega re-release JSR on nearly everything, yet leave future alone?

it's just how games with licensed music work. games like GTA are outliers because they never stop selling and have a very rich publisher, and even then they remove songs over time for being too expensive to relicense.
sega owns 14 of the 30 songs in the game and would have to pay a lot up front to other record labels to use the rest of it, more than they'd like after how JSR ports sold.

The demo has the only good mini games too

The story of how Steel Battalion is amazing got made. The lead designer wanted to have the eject button behind a set of sugar glass so the player had to smash it open to eject. He was eventually talked down. Also, Seamus Blackley (Who was the JP Dev liason) was going around Japan studios getting feedback on the new smaller controller to replace the Duke. Capcom took him into a room where he saw the prototype Steel Battalion controller and wanted him to sign off on it. He did after he played the game and thought it was amazing. The original Xbox is full of insane stories like that.

Licensing!

>behind a set of sugar glass so the player had to smash it open to eject
Absolute mad man

Xosvp or something like that, open source thing to output clean component video to your display

"does"
the ports all came out pretty close together, they've stopped porting it to new things and stopped patching the old ports
it's a different soundtrack, the money they poured into licensing it doesn't do them any good for rereleasing JSRF. they leave future alone because JSR, despite everyone singing praises of it and many people buying it, did not make enough money for them.
JSR was the number one most requested game to be rereleased in the new sega ages line just a year ago and it was passed over for less requested games that are cheaper to release.

Thats because jsr1 is a piece of fucking garbage. Jsrf is the only good one

Btw of your console is PAL you can’t output any res higher than 480p. Regardless component is still the best option.
If you really want 720p, you have to mod your console and switch it ntsc. That unlocks HDTV resolutions.
There isn’t really a special reason, Microsoft just software locked HDTV resolutions in PAL regions because they thought it wasn’t as widespread as it was in NTSC regions back then. But they forgot to unlock it later.

This is better animated than most games today.

I agree that the DAC thing is stupid. I just happened to have a home theater receiver that has an optical in, but it's bullshit that you have to buy a separate thing for audio. Other than that, it's one of the best sources devices for a high definition output

Now this game is underrated and forgotten. Hardly anyone remembers it anymore but it was quite the technical showcase for the OG Xbox back in the day. No one at the time had seen shaders and especially particles being used so extensively and was really showing off the brute strength it had over the competing consoles.

Actually it looked so good that PS2 players got majorly buttblasted that they had to port the game over (it was an exclusive to begin with), of course with MAJOR downgrades.

The prototype controller was bigger as well. Steel Battalion was just an insane game with tons of ideas. Capcom pitched it to Microsoft especially because they were the ones looking at riskier JP projects at the time and Capcom were surprised Microsoft went for it because it was so wild.

I was a little disappointed with Wreckless. It was kind of cool but got bored pretty quickly. I did buy it on release day tho.

Xbox has so many treasures. It totally stands out with racing titles. What it really lacked was a decent futuristic racer, but made up for it with the other titles.

It looked amazing but got repetitive very quickly. Tbh I never completed the game.

Sega GT was also a great racing game. Also quite underrated.

You couldn't be more wrong. JSR shits on Future. It had none of the challenge of the original. The stages and music were lacking in comparison. Still an enjoyable game, but it's too much of a breeze

Fuck yes how could I forget. Sadly most people bought it for JSRF and probably never touched GT

derp, XGRA was decent but quantum was subpar, should've left quantum out from that list.

I think you mean post-2008.

This is the first time I've seen a clip of someone actually playing the game right and not just running around on the ground like an idiot.

Both are good games. You prefer the arcade style and challenge of jsr but it doesn't shit on future at all.

JSRF is still a great game, but as a sequel to JSR it's highly disappointing. I really someone likening it to playing a doom level where someone had already killed all the demons and you just needed to find the final key on an empty map.
It's relaxing, it has style, good gameplay and excellent music. The exploration is probably the best part of it. But it somehow always lacked substance anyway.

The Zero 2 remake on Wii is the best version.

OG Xbox usually had superior ports of multi platform games. And the times a port was subpar, it was mostly devs being lazy and not using the hardware to its fullest (for example,the missing shaders in GTA:SA).

SH2 is not entirely superior, the flashlight on the Xbox version is improved.

ebbin great thread guys, thanks for the memories

I actually refurbished four broken og Xboxes for the soul purpose of hosting halo CE lan-parties. Had to get a new HDD for one, change the disk drive on another. Never got around to finding enough controllers though.

The Xbox had a lot of good games but Xbox live is probably the single worst thing to ever happen to the industry from a consumer perspective. Also I would argue Halo was never anything special, especially compared to Perfect Dark and Timesplitters or really any decent PC fps.

Yesss. Me and my buddy got it from blockbuster and had so much fun with it. Just classic beat em up action.

ugh i guess i will have to figure it out myself
i really like the game tho

Gladius was on Gamecube too.

JSR has a pretty shit camera that really hurts the gameplay until you memorize the level layouts. I still haven't played JSRF though so I can't comment on that one.

This. I used it heavily with midtown madness 3 because that game only had one annoying music track that looped over and over.

nah, I've played almost all major FPS titles and Halo is still my fav, fołlowed by Doom and Q3.
You can prefer more adventurous, often objective-based games like Half-Life, NOLF, XIII, Perfect Dark and the like, but that's just like your opinion man. Halo had this as well, but it always feels more substantial with the weapon balance. Apart from the fucking pistol.

i was trying not to remember it, cunt
that game was an embarrasing failure

Halo has a few good maps and see great music, but the weapons are just boring there's barely any creativity to them. The only unique one was the needler. I did le the focus on vehicles that was a pretty cool hook that I hadn't seen in any other FPS. I enjoyed the first game well enough but I never understood the hype around it. I thought the sequels were just straight up awful outside of a few setpieces, mostly the scarab fights. I HATE Halo 2's level design.

i like the first one because afaik it's the only one with snowy levels

NG2 is still my favorite action game to come back to thanks to the combat. I assure you I'm not going to replay a Ninja Gaiden game for the puzzles.

i'm still mad there's no other good first person beat em up

he started his own game studio. produced a remake of the first riddick(with a prequel i think) and wheelman. i guess it didn't bring any profits since it's dead now.

JSRF is missing half of its effects and has awful stuttering issues and halting framerate drops. The gulf between "playable" and actually playable is absurd when it comes to emulation. It's literally not worth it to poorly emulate a $20 machine.

God that game's soundtrack was amazing.

It's not hard in a classic sense and anyway you can grind (talking about Heroes: can't remember if you can grind in Crusaders). The main problem for me was figuring out what the fuck did the devs want me to do. It's too railroaded, like that stealth mission in Heroes.

WHY was this the last good console release? After this you get watered down trash that can't hold a candle to what PC hardware is available, and further you get worse and worse quality games with no passion or love poured into them. Nothing but shallow cash grabs. What a fucking nightmare.

Is this worth it anyway? I just wanted more of the first games, not an MMO.

I have one lying around, collecting dust for years but never played it (my dad got it for like 5€ but without games).
Can I hack this thing or do something decent with it?

When I move to my own spot in March, I'd love to get an OG Xbox to softmod.
How hard is it to find one without that thermal paste issue?

You can hack it and install a hard drive to play games and other stuff. I recommend it.

Kinda tough but I just replaced the thermal paste myself. It's easy if you already know how to put your own computer together

it was always paid, and back then it wasnt for much, but the quality was way ahead of what Sony offered since they did it for free.
It did set a standard for online multiplayer on consoles, friends list, online chat, etc...
PS3 didnt have a mic by default for example, while the 360 had. That is why trash talking in public lobbies is mostly associated with Xbox Live. Private chat rooms are a blessing and a curse.
Anyway, its sucks that it was paid, but at least shit got pushed forward fast and hard, and now a basic subscription does bring plenty of bonus content, at least a full AAA game a month to play while subscribed is a nice touch, but that did bring issues to the market all over the place, with publishers now having their own subscription bonuses.

I want that fucking interactive snow back

I had my fun, but it was a messy game, a bit ahead of its time since the controls werent as tight as they needed to be.
fucking loved Kung Fu Chaos, really good concept for a party game and great setpieces.

Just a remaster with proper shooting mechanics would already be amazing.
I don't get why Sega never tried to revive this thing, it's a legit hidden gem that never got recognition due to really poor marketing.

not him but conventional wisdom says that many OG xboxes have bad capacitors that will eventually leak corrosive acid onto the motherboard. anecdotal but I opened 7 xboxes this year and none of them had leaky caps. Personally I will wait until I see symptoms of bad caps before I tear them out.

The 360 also had a massive library of japanese games, so many great games thanks for the XBLA.

Fuck i was planning on saving money to buy either a 3DS or Wii but those Xbox exclusives are looking really fucking sweet and i never owned one but remember playing it at my friend's house and having a shit load of fun
Should i go for the OG Xbox instead?

damn i thought i was the only one play this back in the day, its hard as fuck playing back then as a kid

Get the OG, fantastic library, and you can always just emulate 3DS or Wii.

They're dirt cheap ranging from 10-40 bucks and have superb image quality at 480p for most games. If you're gonna get one, get the original splinter cell disc so you can hack it and put 1TB harddrive.

every Xbox except for the last model that came out before the thing was discontinued has a capacitor that is used to keep the time while the machine is unplugged.
these particular capacitors were of astonishingly low quality and are now prone to leaking their corrosive acid all over the circuit board. thereby eating the traces and destroying the machine's circuitry, breaking it.

since even when they worked properly the capacitors only held charge for about an hour, if that it is perfect;y fine to just rip them off the board to save yourself the headache. you don't even need to know how to solder to do this as simply bending it back and forth will be enough to break it free. the only side-effect will be that you will have to set the time every time the console is unplugged, and softmodding the console will remove even this annoyance as it will auto set the clock to some time in 2007 by default on every boot.

make sure to find a video guide on how to identify your console version though, since the final 1.6 revision of the motherboard will not boot without the clock capacitor, thankfully those ones have an actual; acceptable quality one that you don't have to worry about

youtube.com/watch?v=Vxs2o3u22K4
Although it is mostly for those who want to hardmod their systems, as a beginner all you need to take away from it is whether yours is a 1.6 or not. Those shouldn't have their clock capacitors removed or else they wont boot successfully. All the other models are fine without them.

I figure because most of it's library of really good games are completely overlooked and pretty unique compared to everyone else just thinking it was a Halo box.

Gunvalkyrie is the main reason I still keep the OG Xbox around

Attached: gunvalkyrie2.jpg (1024x720, 375K)

These are my two favorite non-ngb games on xbox for sure. The multiplayer on Kung Fu Chaos especially was top notch at the time, such a shame its not backwards compatible with 360 or xbone. Whacked has a great singleplayer campaign, but the multiplayer is pretty lackluster.

This game was kino, like a mascot platformer version of Sands of Time.

The issue is with the clock capacitor specifically. Technically a lot of consoles have capacitors that could eventually pop, but the clock capacitor is a well documented case of internal damage done to Xbox's.
Also anecdotal for me, but I've opened 3 and they all had varying degrees electrolyte discharge on the board. 2 of them were fortunately just cosmetic and a quick clean got rid of it. The last one on the other hand suffered from typical trace issue problems caused by that capacitor: powers on automatically when plugged in, front panel buttons don't work, will eventually just turn off on its own at random times. That's a case of waiting too long, and the fix requires soldering a wire between two points on the motherboard, bypassing the damaged trace entirely. I really don't recommend you waiting for symptoms before removing it. The worst thing that happens is the internal clock is never saved, but if the console is modded you don't really have to worry about it.
Side note to the user who's inquiring, the very last Xbox revision (1.6) doesn't have the clock cap so you don't have to worry about internal damage

Some fun facts about the Xbox hardware.

-It used a special version of a Pentium 3 CPU designed for laptops with half the cache (as much cache as Celerons had). However, it was still faster than Celeron because the cache was 8-way associative like P3 cache rather than 4-way associative like Celeron cache.
-It used a custom version of the GeForce 3 with some features of the then-unreleased GeForce 4 like a twin vertex shader. However, it was clocked at a lower speed than any released GeForce 3 card
-The sound chip was actually made by Nvidia - the Nvidia Soundstorm, which was also integrated onto a few PC motherboards of the era.

its not as easy as that. i dont know a lot about ports, but consoles have different architectures to eachother. for example, lets say a door key is a game, and the lock is the console - the key would need to be recut to fit another lock.

There are 3 mercenaries and three different factions operating there, every mercenary knows something from one faction a little more than the others, for example you have a dude that can speak russian and has a contact there. It's one of the small things in this game that makes it a blast for replaying. Other than that you have destructive environments and artillery on a phone.

I'm playing The Warriors on OG Xbox right now. It's basically a State of Emergency 1.5 with a proper story.

Go cry more about a machine you'd have no fucking clue how to operate, and the alexandria tier info stashed inside it that the wizards at emulation Inc will never get at, you fucking pseud.

>fake Xbox kits
What the fuck are you even talking about?
Have you even googled Xbox dev kits before? Have you read the threads where they confirm after months that nothing was done with these kits and they were sold on?
If it bothers you, learn to code and make some headway or stop crying about somebody elses lost potential work.

wtf this was also on OG xbox? I thought it was 360 only

It's on PS2, Xbox, 360, and PC but the 360 version was the last one to come out and looks the best.

fuck off you redtard. None of those are genuine, straight from the xbox devs themselves

Oh well if the Xbox devs themselves told you to tell me, I'll say nothing more, case closed faggot, I'm sorry

I bought myself the recreated one by hyperkin recently to use on PC and its very snug to hold despite how bulky it is

Once again, fuck off you reddtard.

It's not a devkit, it's an alpha tower, it wasn't used to make games, it was used to prototype the OS. Also, even if it we're just a normal devkit, there have been a lot of source code leaks thanks to people acquiring old devkits that still have data. The Dark Engine source code was found on a Dreamcast devkit for instance.

ahead of its time.

And to think the popular choice is GameCube because of Link. I think Spawn fits the best out of all of them.

Yep, and Wheelman was gonna have a crossover/shared sequel with Stranglehold with massive destructible buildings. Shame.

That sounds amazing desu

Hey user, looks like you forgot to take a bunch of trash to Goodwill. Dump it off so it can stop cluttering your shelf space.

>Parents gave my OG Xbox away to my poorfag 3rd world cousins and all my games
>Except for my Clone Wars/Tetris Worlds dual disc
Fuck anyone that tries to take this disc away from me.

This was also the last good doa game. 4 was the start of the end due to rocky relationships and the rest just sucked balls even more and started the gachashit

Here's some of the test footage

i can't play it on 360, it crashes too much

Stubbs the Zombie was so fucking cool. I don't give a fuck, it was unique, and making your own horde of zombies every mission to steamroll the enemies was so satisfying.

Man, I forget the how powerful the Xbox was. That could pass as a PS3/360 game

This was an incredibly fun game and max level rank sneeker users were fucking terrifying

>tfw had a ps2 but loved reading about all the xbox exclusives in gaming magazines

i was jelly as fuck about panzer dragoon

They are better on the xbox yes. The remaster has some bugs as expected. Still a good localization but a lot of shaders outright don't work for some reason.

I remember reading they also disabled swap file support so that lazy devs couldn't over commit RAM. They were worried about half assed PC ports making the system look shit.
The Xbox team sound like they genuinely loved video games and wanted to make the best thing in the world. It's a shame they'll largely be remembered for introducing paid online and DLC.

came to post this, thank you for ending thread

being surprised by the differences as the difficulty ratcheted caught me completely off guard. got halfway through master ninja before tapping out. this unfinished business is the only reason I still have a classic xbox with dukes

You could unlock the beeping from cursing but the bleeps were in fact funnier so literally everyone turned them back on.

As resolution scales up, the hardware needed goes up exponentially. The OG only needed to render 720x480 @16bit, though many games would have gone for 24bit. The 360 standard was 1280x720 which is somewhere between 2.5 and 3 times the pixels for starters, and you'll have to increase texture and shader quality by this much again to keep it sharp on LCD/Plasma of the time.
It's the reason that only the very very top end PCs can do 4K60 reliably. Anyone who tells you their rig can do 4K60 is cherry picking as bad as those who say the PS3 can do 1080p.

This scared me because I too have every one of those games and a bed similar to that.

Don't play the mvc2 port on xbox or ps2. Only dreamcast arcade are acceptable along with xbl / ps3 for online

I'd like to add Xbox to the list of "full library available at any time" consoles I have.

For Super NES this was easy. Just buy a flash cart.

For Saturn, again, I just had to buy a cart and flash some software myself. Ezpz. Its not as elegant as a Rhea/Phoebe but I've only had 1 bad burn (Panzer Dragoon Saga disc 3, it kinda fucked my shit up) and I am tired of waiting for autism man to put preorders up only to not get them.

For PS2 I just had to put in a hard drive. I actually was already using the hard drive features of the console with the official FFXI hard drive but it died out. Got a friend to give me a copy of freemcboot. Done.

I look at some videos of Xbox, and it just looks like a complete and utter clusterfuck. You need to have two hard drives going at once and you need to read something from the disc and you need to swap cables but you only have a 5 second window etc. Is it easier than it looks?

>bought DOOK because fond memories
>used it twice and has lived in its box ever since
It's great I just don't know what to do with it.

720p on the original xbox no less. It's really a sight to behold.

People tell me. Till this day. That the Xbox version was "vastly inferior".

Now you can certainly argue taste for the exclusive character. Spawn is fucking shit. But in all other areas it is technically better 100%.

The worst possible way to play it and yet it's still the only way I can have fun playing it.

>Is it easier than it looks?
substantially. Just need a way to get the payload data over, run a compatible game, load up the save profile "linux" and you're basically done. Back up MS Dash, Back up EEPROM, install dash of your choice (I like UnleashX) and it takes care of itself.

Upgrading the hard drive isn't even hard. First transfer over chimp into e:/apps, and also transfer the chimp contents onto the root e:/, redundant but necessary. Restart your xbox, power the new hard drive, once in your dashboard unplug the dvd IDE cable, plug in to the new drive, run chimp, select fatX once it boots, clone from master to slave, lock slave to motherboard, set your new hdd jumpers to cable select, test and you're done.

It's not even hard, that's literally everything step by step. Feel free to add breathing in there.

>The worst possible way to play it
you can play the current steam version which is absolute fucking broken shit.

I should really get around to hacking mine.

My disc drive likes to fuck out after a few minutes. This is another reason why I want to mod it. I have the games but I can't read them when the drive doesn't want to spin. On games with a lengthy load bar like Unreal Championship 1 you can see the exact point where it gives up.

Do you think I'll be able to pull it off with this going on?

I'm gonna go ahead and order the necessary components now anyway. You can't win if you don't play and all that.

Western hack and slash that didn't take itself too seriously but had good mechanics. The perfect game to play over winter break or something.

>Do you think I'll be able to pull it off with this going on?
Probably, a successful clone takes less than 8 minutes. Your DVD drive probably is just dirty, it's unlikely it's dead. I'd recommend giving it a nice blow out once the system is open, remove the shield and clean it up.

I could appreciate the West trying to make some good action games. They never hit the same highs but they were damn fun.

Actually agree. That fucking piece of shit killed the Dreamcast way too soon. When I showed up at Microsoft I couldn't wait for him to get the fuck out, regardless of how many stupid fake tattoos he got plaid before press conferences.

Fuck no. Spawn should stay in the 90's.

That would look so impressive if you didn't know that sniper in halo had auto aim.

That's okay. I'm at the point where I just don't care about auto aim in FPS games. I just want a fun game.

You can still play online with Xlink Kai. It's easy to set up. Halo 2 still has a nice amount of players.

this face blinx makes on the cover makes him look like an edgy little shit, he's more mellow in the game.

on most consoles this would yield a small difference in image quality, but on xbox the picture will be much darker and more vibrant because the xbox has unnaturally ass 480i output.

That's a blur filter used for 480i to reduce the visibility of the flickering lines in a 480i signal on some displays. With a softmod it can be disabled.

i wasn't talking about the flicker filter, 480i still looks worse than 480p even with it hacked out, but that may be my shit cables

i wonder if this is why the memory card ports have a sync signal, if the xbox lightgun would originally plug into the controller

480i is always going to look worse really...Consider getting high quality component cables. Avoid the HD "pack." Either get the 2nd rev. cables or those new ones coming out.

i'm thinking of going the VGA route instead

Never beat this on master ninja due to all the fucking catgirls and vigoorian berserkers they throw at you, i can only reliably beat them with either the black dragon sword or the fully upgraded wooden one and you don't get either until chapter 14 or so.

That's an option. I use a professional crt monitor that can display up to 1080i so I just stick with component.

i'm jealous

JSR is so annoying to play and I find it kind of janky. But maybe that't because I played JSRF first. The grinding and enemies really got me when I went back to play the original

Epic thread. The current state of Xbox One is a waste. It's a shame that the Phantom Dust rerelease or Rare Replay are among the great Xbox One games. Hopefully things will turn around with the push for all these studios and the Xbox Game Studios rebranding.

I would have loved this game but the camera controls were sat inverted automatically and there was no way to change them. It was fucking me up so bad i got mad and stopped playing.

when did phil takeover again? the next year or two should be the first games with their complete dev cycle under his lead.

Phil has been with MS for a good while, but wasn't made head of Xbox until shortly after Don Mattrick left in 2013. After that he answered to Terry Myerson (who headed the Windows Division and was reportedly against major investments that wouldn't drive Windows growth, games included) until 2017 when he was promoted to Senior Leadership Division and now answers to the CEO

Because it plays like shit, most fromsoft games do now that you mention it, literally only chromehounds and sekiro avoid this fate, and even then sekiro plays like a shitty, dumbed down ninja gaiden.

This game looked so fucking good on the og xbox. I hate you can't emulate it on pc.

Yeah I played double steal at an arcade, really wish I could play it again.

Thanks user, I didn't know there was a sequel.
Is it better than the original?

Double S.T.E.A.L is the name of the series in Japan and the second game is subtitled The Second Clash

Fuck I remember this, played it in ps2 and was completely floored when I played the Xbox version a year later. It looked so good and could've easily passed for a 7th gen game.

Can this be emualated?

It think it's better. It also has some really slick effects and runs in 720p.

Nothing can be emulated well on the xbox. The console costs like $20 so there is no real excuse.

Yeah the ps2 version was ass.

Attached: double steal.png (1919x982, 1.02M)

Dumb outdated user, download the latest DEVELOPMENT build and stop talking out of your ass for once

It's still awful, just as it has always been.

Wasn't the sequel only released in japan? Would it even work on the xbox without having to tamper with it?

Master Chief Collection, Below, and Sea of Thieves are garbage. This list is shit and probably only had input from one person put into it. Fuck off.

Still broken, but I'll let everyone know when it's at least in-game

soft mod it

It was a totally different game on xbox.

You'll need to softmod it but it's so worth it that every Xbox should be soft modded.

NOW THATS WHAT I CALL ZERO TOLERANCE

Welp, guess I gotta go find an xbox now.

We have 41 playable games right now, check the main developer Patreon (patreon.com/LukeUsher) for a complete list (almost complete... I've sent him and updated one that he'll add to the next progress report)

Well done, fellas.
