Mame is released for X-Box. This means that certain gamers (ones with X-Box modchips) will be able to experience all the Mame goodness, whilst sitting on their couch.
Personally, once I get an X-Box modchip (which won't happen til some good imports start coming) I'll definately make myself a copy of this.
What do you guys think, is this cool, or is this deplorable?
i saw this the other night. im chipping my box as we speak. i love mame and use it on both pc and the dc. cant wait to see what they can do on the box.
Korly: Thank you Chuck For showing me that link
Chuck: No problem Korly
:D
I HATE Earthbound.
I knew it... It was just a matter of time.
I am all over this shit.
Pardon my ignorance, but wtf is Mame, and why (if it all) would it be worth modding my xbox?
Make sure you buy some pirated Xbox DVD-Rs while you're stealing. At least you can hurt a company that deserves it that way.
Again I must ask the question: Does the Xbox have a low res display mode, or will we be forced to play low res games in a line doubled filtered mode?
why does somebody ALWAYS have to be a faggot and bring this up? hey asshole this was not intended to be and is not a piracy thread. keep your ignorant ass comments to yourself. im getting really sick of all these attacks by lil shits who cant keep their mouths shut the moment an emulator or mod chip is mentioned. oh....MAME is free, mame is shareware....we're STEALING. get a fuckin life.Quote:

oh and lord, mame is the (multiple aracde machine emulator) and runs a LOT of aracde games from different systems. and you need to mod you xbox to use any homebrew or emu stuff. im assuming you'd have to use dvd-r also since the system is VERY picky what cd-r it wants to read.
thats an unfair comparison Yoshi...Quote:

Korly, is this mod chip you speak of, the Enigmah chip, and also would this involve burning a CD and copying the data to the XBox hard drive...
Modding my Xbox is looking better and better. Especially for region-free DVD playback. :) Mame is just more icing on the cake. I just want to wait a little longer for 12 wire chips (or less) to come out. 24 wire to solder is 24 chances for me to wreck my Xbox.
yea! what the hell the Mame do?Quote:

emualates old arcade hardware that is only available as PCB, it rocks...the only reason i dont play it as often is that i hate playing games on my PC, and prefer the couch.
if the MAME programmers get the IGS PGM bios down, we may see Dodonpachi 2 on the XBox.
do you guys not read ANYTHING i write????????????????Quote:

I do, Dyne. Your words are like poetry. No matter what you say it's beautiful. Case in point:
"If I made a thread about a Twinkie with eyeballs that lived in my asshole, would I get as many posts?"
Pure poetry. ;)
You probably would not need a modchip soon. Remember that MIT student that read and decrypted that boot block and also found a way to get the magic number. Both of which could be used to run original software on the X-Box. Even though the guy was a pussy for not developing it further, I am sure that someone will create a similar FPGA and get the rest of the results for the community.
Then you wouldn't need mod chips, just running a patch on a program and then burning it on a CD will do the trick. I say running a patch because this will probably be illegal since Microsoft licenses the decryption key and the magic number to official developers.
Using the decryption key and the ROM(no not the illegal kind, but just an X-Box program) loading mechanism you can run Mame without any hardware alterations.:)

I quit reading your post after this:Quote:

so I just assume that will be a flame post and will not contain any informationQuote:

considering what i said was directed towards yoshi and not you you should have kept reading. cause golly were here chatting about mame and he just decides to pad his post count with his anti-piracy spam.
and CV, thanks for the words....tugged at my heart strings ya did :)
and chibbi, most of the mod chips have macrovision disabled as well if your into that sort of thing. the only bad thing ive heard about all region playback is that you need a dvd remote/dongle for all the regions you want to play (ie use the us one when playing us movies, a jap one when playing jap movies and so on). i could be wrong but theres either a program or chip coming out that makes this all null and void btw. and the lesser wire messiah will prolly be out sometime in july.
Why does somebody always have to be a faggot and promote piracy? I'm sure you'll enjoy the many home brew JAMMA games that MAME will let you play without stealing. :rolleyes:Quote:

Was there ever a link posted for this?
Cause I would like to do a bit more reading on this subject. Ahh the possibilites...Metal Slug on xbox.
Actually Yoshi, you should be dancing in the streets. Your hate for the xbox is so undying. If people are talking about getting a mod chip to play MAME and your claiming a piracy twist. I don't understand the problem. Stealing money from Microsoft should be a good thing in your eyes.
Don't you want your sig to come true??
I am against all piracy, because the vast majority of good Xbox games will not come from Microsoft, so it is not those clowns who will be losing the money.Quote:

Want has nothing to do with it. It is a prediction, not a wish necessarily.Quote:

Haters beware, I'm spreading the knowledge!

I originally got the information from Zophar's Domain.
The real meat of the info comes from
http://xbox.mame.net
Someone needs to try this and let me know how it works.
But, like Seen, I'm hoping for a mod-less solution here.
Like I said I'm pretty sure that it will be a software fix. I'll give it till September, they'll have the encryption key and the magic munber (placed at the end of every memory block in X-Box programs) down by then. I expect that the development will also be simple using MS Visual C++ using some amateur plug-ins. I don't think that it would be too long before we see some kind of dev kit/debugging connection to the X-Box from the PC. Because the core graphics technology from NVidia is very well documented, we should see some professional looking stuff very soon. Not like Dreamcast, where development is difficult.:(
