Turns out I have eleven Western original-Xbox games—a list that includes, like, Intellivision Lives! And Atari Classics Collection, alongside Morrowind, Final Fight Streetwise, Half-Life 2, and the like.
Most of the rest is Sega and SNK shit, with the occasional Konami or Capcom or Taito opus.
The xbox doesn’t have any official light gun hardware, so I think that Madcatz light gun was pretty much the only one, and House of the Dead 3 and Silent Scope the only games that used it. So that might explain it.
Panzer Dragoon update: I can’t believe how hard this game gets! I’ve resorted to using the charged shot very little so I don’t over-rely on it since mashing the hell out of the shoot button is much faster and more effective. But the game is still kickin my ass! I literally yelled “NO! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME” when I saw that Episode 5’s boss had a second form, and still have yet to clear it. If this is how hard Episode 5 is I shudder to think about Episodes 6 and 7
confirm that I usually give up at episode 5
good news: the Xbone runs it, go buy a used bone for cheap and then throw 10 bucks at MS and you have 1080p Orta that’s also guaranteed to be forwards compatible (XboneX already runs it at 4k so I guess the skies the limit for the XSEX)
really cool how we’re getting to play all these games about pandemics and quarantines this month
I think I actually beat Panzer Dragoon once, and I have no idea how I may have accomplished that.
(Then again, I was the top-ranked Shenmue Space Harrier player in Maine.)
(…)
my xbone x is proving to be unsellable so if anyone really wants to play panzer dragoon orta in like 3 months when the quarantine ends i will literally give you the fucking thing if only to remove the cursed object from my bloodline
My experience with CXBX is either games work 90% (Galleon, JSRF) or crash instantly (Halo, Otogi).
I have never had a top of the line computer so 90% in emulation is good enough for me.
quick look at some videos Orta works fine?
I was pretty impressed we went from xbox emulation doesn’t work for 15 years to some games are completely playable.
iirc the main thing keeping it from working was “the GPU is undocumented” so once they got past that hurdle it’s basically like running QEMU
Been playing more old games since my internet been falling down
stuff like Doom Eternal, Quake 3 (i send that monk to heaven on hurt me plenty), Unreal Tournament and finally doing more stuff on ace combat 7
@TheGrimCorsair holy heck, i think mission 7, where there cliffs below and clouds above, imagining your doing your run first person cabin only, holy heck that sounds tough a lot, i loved that mission.
also i forgot, i played Earl Day’s off, and heck, i did got trouble trying to catch stuff that was not fish on it
yes yes yes yes this is the gaming content i crave
honestly same if i was in my death-torturebed
if only in MGS there was an option to go “Damn Ocelot you lookin like a snack 
”
I remember up to that point the funny option feeling out of character. it was in the second half where she started matching everyone else’s crass remarks.
been trying to play Mr. Driller 2 for GBA on mobile retroarch. using the virtual d-pad is more difficult than the game itself
none of the controller overlays are any good. I couldn’t use retroarch on my phone till I started pairing a bluetooth controller to the thing.
played through the first level of fade to black (psx) in a blind race
game rules lol
time to bring a joycon to work
