Cxbx WIP News - Virtua Cop 3 is starting to work (2013/03/31)

Well, I spent my entire Saturday afternoon working on Cxbx for one request (now do you know how much I love you guys?) and finally got a result worth posting.

Okay, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that it's finally confirmed that Cxbx is capable of emulating Sega Chihiro games. Good thing, because it's a load off of my mind. The mystery was killing me! The bad news is that there are some parts of the JVS I/O board may have to be emulated in order for games to work. Instead of emulating the JVS, I've been skipping and ignoring the port mapped I/O access functions as well as just creating stubs for the hijacked JVS functions.

This screen shot is proof.

EmuCR: Demul WIP

Although I'm very pleased to have reached this far with Virtua Cop 3, I'll have to further research Chihiro's JVS hardware. There's a chance that we may not have to emulate it though, since JayFoxRox's emu managed to get passed this. It's probably a matter of satisfying a few conditions.

I'll put more work/thought into this later. It's passed 1AM and I'm tired. I'm just glad it's showing something for the time being.

Shogun.

  2. Ive got vcop 3 on my xbox running, interesting since it runs fine on that without asking for a jvs io board. Keep up the good work, hopefully you get it running as other Chihiro games dont work on xbox
