PhilExile Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Heh, BP doesn't like scanlines, but maybe if more people request it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilExile Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hey, So I tried Earthworm Jim and it worked for me in Snes9x on the Xbox. I don't know if its because I have an upgraded Trusty system or not. I did notice that the sound is all F'd up though. Like when you get to the pig pen, it just beep/farts - but no crash. I was just checking out this other emulator that IQ recommended (it would be impossible to port to Xbox) and it has a great info page: http://byuu.org/bsnes/accuracy From that page: "Earthworm Jim 2 - This game streams sound effect samples between the refresh period of each scanline. With bad timing, the end result is no sound effects at all." I guess that's what is causing the problem - clever coding. Read that page though, its interesting. Talk soon Dang you guys! OK, I tried SNes9x v1.52... games like "EarthWorm Jim 2" still freezes at the beginning. :/ My growing idea would to be if we could get a SNES emu that has multiple cores in it... like Surreal does... that way we could have games load with the best compatibility under one roof (most being from Zsnexbox) ON VGmaps"The Book of Madmab" states: 1) It's possible the map is simply too big.2) Sometimes (not always) you can load the map into something like MS paint, and resave it, and it will work.I have not figured out why number 2 works but it has happened.when I say big.. I mean either so big that the "rendertotexture" function chokes.. or too big as in not enough free memory to load it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Man (?) Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Very interesting!!! and EWJ2 plays very well with full sound and all on bsnes! EDIT: yes I know it kinda works on xbox but it will freeze and the SFX are messed up. :/ Edited April 7, 2011 by Mega Man (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilExile Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Well, I hope so, but from what the page said, it needs a Core2Duo....

I am looking into timing hack's for this game... devs say it has been tinkered with on both Zsnes and Snes9x.looks tricky and no one has gotten any "hacks" perfect. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/sear...=www.google.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobo Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Updated SCUMM! It's almost perfect except you can't adjust the screen sice which makes it almost useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Man (?) Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 There was actually an update for scumm that was just released... haha It was given this function. http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilExile Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hey Mega, Have you used SCUMM much? I was just trying it out yesterday and loaded up LEISURE SUIT LARRY. It worked fine at first, but after the first round of questions that it asks to verify your age, the game froze and I had to force-restart my Xbox. I was using the LSL rip that RX made a while back. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Then I'll go with zapper support for the NES instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
