Xport releases 11 new game/emulator ports and 1 update |
Xport just released a bunch of new game/emulator ports at once!!
Here's an overview:
* PowermangaX - Powermanga for XBox v1 (http://linux.tlk.fr/index2.php)
This is a port of the game Powermanga. It's a fun 2D shooter.
* GladiatorX - OpenGlad for XBox v1 (http://snowstorm.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/site.cgi?page=openglad)
This is a port of the game OpenGlad which is itself a port of an old DOS game called Gladiator. It's like Gauntlet and an action-RPG. It supports up to 4 players playing competitively or cooperatively.
You start off with $5000 which you use to buy troops (soldiers, barbarians, elves, ghosts, etc).
You can also spend extra money to increase their stats. After you have bought some troops, you can start the game. You have manual control over one of your troops and the rest behave via AI. You can switch between members of your group, too. The objective is to clear each board and progress through all 99 levels.
* AmphetamineX - Amphetamine for XBox v1 (http://n.ethz.ch/student/loehrerl/amph/amph.html)
This is a port of the 2D platformer Amphetamine. Pretty good stuff.
* BlobWarsX - Blob Wars for XBox v1 (http://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/blobWars.php)
This is a port of the game Blob Wars which is another really slick/polished game from Parallel Realities. It's a platformer similar in theme to Metal Slug where you must rescue MIAs, collect weapon power-ups, etc.
* StarfighterX - Starfighter for XBox v1 (http://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/starfighter.php)
This is a port of the game Starfighter which is a really slick/polished 2D shooter that includes an upgrade system.
This game requires a video mode of 800x600 - which the XBox cannot do natively. Therefore the graphics are shrunk to 640x480. When this happened, the already small font used in the game became an alien language. I had to make a new (bigger) font which resulted in some cropping in certain parts of the game. If reading all of the parts of the story is important to you, you can check out the data files in the DATA directory. They're all human-readable. You'll probably want to have a copy of the "SHOP.DAT" file handy since most of the prices in the shops are cut off.
* PachiX - Pachi El Marciano for XBox v1 (http://dragontech.sourceforge.net/index.php?main=pachi〈=en)
This is a port of the game Pachi el Marciano which is an....interesting platformer/puzzler.
* BlueMSXBox BlueMSX Emulator port for XBox v1 (http://www.bluemsx.com/)
Emulates MSX/MSX2/MSX2+
* OdysseyX Odyssey 2 Emulator port for XBox v1 (http://o2em.sourceforge.net/)
Emulates Odyssey 2
* LynXBox Atari Lynx (Handy) Emulator port for XBox v1 (http://handy.sourceforge.net/)
Emulates Atari Lynx
* ArnoldX Amstrad CPC Emulator port for XBox v1 (http://arnold.emuunlim.com/)
Emulates Amstrad CPC
* X68000X X68000 Emulator port for XBox v1 (http://www.retropc.net/kenjo/)
Emulates X68000
* XBoyAdvance(info) - GBA/GBC/GB/SGB/SGB2 Emulator for XBox v10
What's new/fixed:
+ Merged in VisualBoy Advance 1.7.2 sources
+ Yes, Hamtaro works now
+ Filenames are no longer converted to all lowercase
+ Option to sort directories to the top or mixed in with the files
+ Fixed bug when selecting multiple buttons in combos
+ Customizable delay between screenshots (e.g. show new screenshot every 3 seconds)
+ View text files - access via Main Menu -] Utilities or during gameplay from In-game options -] Game Utilities
+ When the user has edited their INI files (which you should NOT do anymore since everything is editable through the menus) and their save directory is invalid, they will now be told so when XBoyAdvance starts.
+ Hardware filters (point filtering, bi/tri linear, etc) are now re-initalized before each game starts. The filter was possibly being overridden and never enforced after the first time a game is played.
+ Returning to favorites list maintains current position in list
+ Separated "General Settings" into two pages
+ Can now have hi-res modes (e.g. 1080i) initialized at startup
