#xemu

so it’s been 2 years since I’ve messed with XBOX OG emulation, and so far there’s some minor improvements with XEMU (Gunvalkrie now doesn’t do that screen glitching thing it would do every time you dash, some games that wouldn’t boot up at all now boot) but it’s still running at half speed and Jet Set Radio Future still has this annoying sound click issue every time you start to move or land... haven’t messed with CXBX yet but I’m hoping for the best. I did however test Halo which of course is the only game working at 90% compatibility lol, prob cause that’s what the developers were more focused on. so if it comes down to it the only XSTREAM I’ll do this year will be that until those emulators improve... I’ll eventually get a new CPU but I really don’t think that’s the issue this time.

brief ramble, but had a good two days off chiseling through Persona 1 for the first time ever (and first Persona game I’ve given a serious play on) which is a big deal for me because from the early days of this blog I’ve vaporwaved a lot of the series’ music to upload to here and youtube without knowing any of the context. so it’s cool to see the actual areas and cutscenes that these tracks play on and will upload more loops / NoPlays / a new mix accordingly. might continue streaming it this week cause I’m already looking forward to play Persona 2 so it’ll be nice if I can have P2 ready to start by next Halloween. also hung out with one of my besties I haven’t seen in forever playing all the random N64 games I had downloaded from my recent multistream. was really fun and reminder I should really seriously try to be a ‘human’ again chilling with my friends more instead of the retail industry being the only human interaction I have... 😵‍🔫 as far as next blog and stream themes go, that all depends if I can get XBOX OG emulation running alright... which last time I checked both XEMU and CXBX it’s not looking too hot... from what I read even if you have a super beefed up gaming PC it’s still janked so I know it’s not just my setup. I do have a capture device in these situations but it’s MIA ATM so I’ll just look around for it more, but if any of you have experience with XBOX OG emulation and can give me some pointers or even a forum to explain how to tweek settings better please hit me up! otherwise we’ll go straight into GameCube and Wii stuff for the majority of the month since Dolphin runs just perfect these days = )
