Is this emulatable yet, or am I gonna have to mod my old xbox to play it?

So you can afford a pc that can emulate xbox games but you can't afford the actual game?

>>712741793 (OP)
ehh?? burrinkusu za taimu saweepaa?? nanikore.... EHHHH???? UWAH!!! ah sugoi! ah sugoi sugoi sugoi.

>>712741921
I'd rather not pay for a 25 year old game when I could emulate it for free, yes.

>>712741793 (OP)
If a game is worth playing its worth owning. If its not worth owning dont play

Played it on XEMU, actually works pretty okay, if a bit crusty. Still a fun game, OP! Vimm's Lair is a good place to get OG Xbox isos that'll boot with no fuss in the emulator, have fun dude!

>>712741793 (OP)
>>712742124
why the fuck dont you own this game already if you like it enough to play, make it make sense

>>712741793 (OP)
Nah, man, XBox emulation fucking blows.

>>712741793 (OP)
Seemed to work fine on Xemu last I checked

>>712741793 (OP)
It's best on Xbox One X

>>712743056
>>712743759
shalom

>>712741793 (OP)
Plays perfectly on XEMU besides minor slowdown at two specific parts afaik, I did a whole playthrough of it with zero issues.

>>712741793 (OP)
Xbox emulation is always going to be dog water, pretty sure just one autist is working on it over the past 15 years.

>>712742124
You also forgot that microsoft intentionally murdered the series and the rights are split across a now dead company and nobody can actually make a new one for another, what was it, 100 years since like 2000 something?

>>712746548
that kind of things makes me want to own a physical copy even more

>>712746650
Copyright law doesn't exist to make the aftermarket exist.
Just pirate it.

>>712746548
I don't understand how this kind of thing works. If the rights are in purgatory, how would a lawsuit work if someone just decided to make new Blinx stuff? Could Microsoft do it with no problem just because they own part of it? What about the dead companies?

>>712746869
Yeah that seems weird. Copyright is a civil crime, now a criminal one. Unless microsoft owns the copyright to the character, and the dead company just owns some other part of it.

>>712746718
no
I like physical

>>712741793 (OP)
Get a Series S little nigga

>>712746869
>If the rights are in purgatory, how would a lawsuit work if someone just decided to make new Blinx stuff?
They don't have the rights to MAKE a new one
But they DO have the rights to sue you for making one
Copyright law is dumb

>>712748572
I would love if someone were brave enough to challenge this stupid shit and make a new Blinx game anyway. Although, you're working against Microcock lawyers potentially, so Blinx is probably dead for good...

>>712749285
Well it's dead until like 2100.

>>712749285
I mean, worst that would probably happen is a DMCA take down. Even Nintendo just DMCAs that kind of stuff vs bringing a court case over it.

>>712743669
>>712745828
Okay nice.

>>712749843
Make sure you pick up the Vulkan-capable build otherwise you are wasting your time. I played Conker and Mercs 1 back-to-front, multiplayer in Conker included with the renderer set to use Vulkan and it was like butter after the first stuttery-y 5-10 mins of each game.

>>712750092
I don't see any option for a vulkan version

>>712741793 (OP)
controls fucking suck. no way to invert them

>>712750246
anon if you don't use vulkan you will lose

Ah I see it now

>>712750796
It works really well for some games, others it can be detrimental and lead to crashing. If you're encountering freezing or crashes with OpenGL it is sometimes worth it to try toggling to Vulkan.

The final boss was pure bullshit
>Fight 4 other final bosses before him
>10 minutes for all of them

>>712749638
A DMCA takedown is still terrible. No one wants to lose all that time and effort in development to some press of a button.

The exposure in this video game was absolute garbage

>>712749638
DMCA take down, as it exists on youtube doesn't even follow the legal concept as it exists if that's what you're thinking.

>>712741793 (OP)
You could just not play it
The game sucks ass

I still don't understand why xbox emulation is so behind the other systems of the era. It seems like 90% of xbox games don't even work on xemu.

>>712743669
XEMU is a mixed bag. DOA2/3 don't work without massive slowdowns with danger zones.

Meanwhile this shit works.

>>712741793 (OP)
Everyone who says this game sucks is a Snoy.

>>712754802
Same reason as PS2 emulation.
It was trivial to set everything up to play backups so nobody bothered with getting it working well.
You have a copy of Mechwarrior, $5 for an adapter and a thumb drive?
Congratulations you can directly plop your own dumps and pirated games from online right onto your xbox.
Gamecube emulation got as good as it did because playing backups on it was shit, and nintendo (basically) had the same system two generations in a row, and people actually wanting to dev shit for the wii and it just having usb ports made it really trivial for people to export that knowledge back to dolphin-emu.

TFW my white whale game has a performance regression bug on XEMU for the last 3 years and I can't find the old version, and it works poorly on CXBX-reloaded.

Amazing game too, one day...

>>712754945
Just wasn't as popular of a console and the exclusives don't have the staying power at least in the public opinion, in mine it has games that just hit different.
Mechassault 1/2, Steel Batallion (Find me a single mech game this weighty in existence), Gunvalkyrie, JSRF, PGR1/2, PDO.

>>712741793 (OP)
>Blinx so irrelevant he didn’t even come back in NFT form

>>712756142
Again, nobody legally can do anything with him.

>>712743759
So back in the day there was this thing called Blockbuster and you could rent games for real cheap. he probably did that.

>>712741921
My 2200g can emulate Xbox, but only via the cxbx reloaded shit.

Wasn't Xbox just a PC running a custom Windows? How is that harder to reverse engineer than Jap machines?

>>712756618
>just a PC
PCs are fucking complicated as shit, and the Xbox is a FULL of nvidia custom spunk PC.
Weird audio, weird video, weird networking, weird everything.

Never ever?
Never EVER ever

He had a cameo on Death Battle.

>>712754802
Xbox in specific was an absolute mess of spaghetti code, hence why it was so hard to build an emulator for it.

>>712755904
Try latest build, I'm seeing a github post circa Jan 11th saying it's fixed (at least on ubuntu supposedly).

XEMU is actually uniroincally getting better lately
People overhyped it about a year ago but it's a lot more "playable" with a good bulk of games now

Still a long way to go but a good baseline for things to come
Which is great because there's a lot of Xbox games that have better aspects than some PC ports (Surround sound support often being the biggest one)

>>712755904
Yeah, last time I tried this it had a lot of stuttering and shit.

>>712741793 (OP)
I rented this when I was a kid and after half an hour or so of playing was hit with enormous regret over not picking Nightfire a second time.

The boss rush isn't why he's bullshit, it's because the game doesn't explain to you that he can only be damaged by time controls during his third phase

>>712741793 (OP)
These games fucking sucked though

You should just buy the game. OG Xbox games are pretty cheap for some reason.
That game is one of the best xbox exclusives so it should be in your collection anyways

>>712761163
Heard you aren't getting a new game for 100 years, cope

>>712761658
And in 100 years you will still be a filtered shitter

This game is slow, boring and for small children.

>>712762784
Sounds perfect for you

>>712762709
>>712762772
because it is one of the games like MechAssault 2 Lone Wolf that was previously unemulatable; Conker had no working MP for years, Mercs 1 you could not exit the cargo plane in the introduction sequence and MA2-LW has been stuck on a boot loop since Xemu's first iteration, only becoming fully playable this year.

It would be like if Rogue Squadron 2 and 3 were fully playable on Dolphin with absolutely 0 slowdown or other issues.

>>712741793 (OP)
Xemu team considers 1 fps playable. It runs slow on all hardware. You can finish it, but it's torture.

>>712763179
my bad for talking without doing research first

>>712741954
zased and keyed

Just stream it on game pass

Is it back compatible on One X?

>>712766340
>Gamepass

>>712741793 (OP)
I was really expecting a PC port of this by now since they did that obscure card action game that was on original xbox

>>712763215
Runs just fine on my PC.

>>712771041
game is stuck in copyright hell. it will never see the light of the day again unless microshaft buys scoops up the rights from all the other holders

>>712741793 (OP)
Wasn't Blinx supposed to be microsofts mascot at one point?

>>712741793 (OP)

Wasn't Blinx created by the guy who made Sonic, after he left Sega?

>>712766848
yes
