It’s been somewhat of a delay, but XeDOSBox’s Google Project page has been updated.. Also included are Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 project files. So check it out, start filling out bug reports, and let’s make this one Xbox360 port to remember.

Love64

Nothing much to say yet expect for that the first N64 emulator for the Xbox360 is in the works. Work has been progressing along smoothly for the last month now and things are starting to shape up. No screenshots yet, but I’ll keep my blog updated as things come along.

Donation button is now fixed. Sorry to the people that wanted to donate and couldn’t.. We had an issue with the PayPal account that we was using. All of that’s sorted out now. Donations are need as progress for new and exciting things to happen. Currently I have a few secret projects that I’m working on and of course some of it will take longer to make without your help. If you would like more details about what’s needed and would like to help then please contact me.

About VirtualBoyAdvance
It’s been a real pleasure to have worked with such a great code base and the people whom are still active within the group. Without them none of this would be possible.

The VisualBoyAdvance project was started by Forgotten.[6] When this person left the development of the emulator, the project was handed over to a team named VBA Team, led by hacker kxu. Development on the original VisualBoyAdvance stopped in 2004 with versions 1.7.2 and 1.8.0 beta 3, and a number of forked versions were made by various developers in the years since then.

Cheat Code Example: (Found in settings.xml)

I’ve finally got my Developer’s Kit =D I want to give a huge a thanks to NoRemorse, el_aprend, SonicISO, Team XeDev, and everyone that’s donated to the team =) Just from using it for a few hours I can already say that this is going to speed up development HUGELY. I probably would still be sorting out the bug in the DOSBox port. So thanks again everyone =D

Provided above are a few screenshots of Windows 3.1 installing on my developer’s kit.

XeBoyAdvance

Not a lot to talk about really.. Been working really hard on adding cheat code support, but ran into a bug. I want to say it’s a bug with GameShark’s lookup functions. Which is being a pain in the ass to debug. Other than that we have a new UI and XML settings/database file. The new UI is really sexy.
