xbox port
So I'm working on porting freedo to xbox, I'm not sure how well it'll run but figured I'd try it out anyway. It's slow going though, trying to ressurect coding knowledge I haven't used in years. Once I get past the cryptic coding (to me anyway) of the core though the rest should be smooth sailing.

Updates on my port of 4DO/Freedo to xbox:
Added UI to load iso's from HDD.
Loading games from the DVD drive works. (tested with cd-r's, nothing else)
So everything is basically working and needs refinement. The speed is still not acceptable and I don't think there is any more speed to be gained outside of the core.
Might be releasing a pre-alpha soon!

Freedo is all low level emulation. I can't seem to find any way to speed it up either, thinking I might need to look into doing some HLE to get acceptable performance on xbox.swaaye wrote:Freedo seems like it would be far too demanding for Xbox. I have no idea why it's so demanding. Maybe it does lots of low level emulation?
PS1 and N64 emus use high level emulation that's much less authentic to the old hardware but far faster.

I just gave this a try, and I'm impressed. It won't be replacing my FZ-1 just yet, but I hope you and JohnnyDude continue to work together for a really good 3DO emulator, regardless of the host system.
I'd really like to be able to play my 3DO collection on my living room Mac Mini, instead of being surrounded by hardware and game cases (I have a dedicated games room for that, complete with Space Invaders light switch!)
