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 (Powermanga website)
This is a port of the game Powermanga. It's a fun 2D shooter.
* GladiatorX - OpenGlad for XBox v1 (OpenGlad website)
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 (Amphetamine website)
This is a port of the 2D platformer Amphetamine. Pretty good stuff.
* BlobWarsX - Blob Wars for XBox v1 (BlobWars website)
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 (Starfighter website)
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 (Pachi El Marciano website)
This is a port of the game Pachi el Marciano which is an....interesting platformer/puzzler.
* BlueMSXBox BlueMSX Emulator port for XBox v1 (BlueMSX website)
Emulates MSX/MSX2/MSX2+
* OdysseyX Odyssey 2 Emulator port for XBox v1 (O2EM website)
Emulates Odyssey 2
* LynXBox Atari Lynx (Handy) Emulator port for XBox v1 (Handy website)

* ArnoldX Amstrad CPC Emulator port for XBox v1 (Arnold website)
Emulates Amstrad CPC
* X68000X X68000 Emulator port for XBox v1 (X68000 website)
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
