Can CxBx fully play Halo: Combat Evolved?
If yes, Where can I find an ISO of the XBE of Halo anyways?
Does this work on CxBx in the use of Halo? http://www.xbconnect.com/

And does CxBx play Halo 2 also?

No. Halo only shows the menus with major distortion and no sound!

You can find an ISO on your original game disc. Asking where to download ISOs or any ROMs here is illegal and against the rules.

No.

No.

This is your second request for pirated material. Ask again, and you will surely be banned from here.

Even if it's working, it requires a hell of a system.

There's already a PC version of Halo.

We only provide emulators. If you want ROMs, look for them by yourself.

I tried a Trial and it said my graphics card isn't good enough, Maybe I could run the real one.
But I don't have the CD code so I can't install it.

A better solution would be to buy the game because it is illegal to download and own .iso files of games you don't own. If we could freely distribute .iso files of Xbox games here, we'd be in big trouble by Microsoft and they will surely shut this site down. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but that's just the way it is. Halo for Xbox is very cheap these days and doesn't cost much anyway...



Then whats the point of that thing!? o_O
First I'll tell you what's not the point of that thing. It's not meant to replace an Xbox or an original game copy. Emulators are written for fun, not to totally replace the system.


So I have no hope of ever playing it
I wouldn't say that.


What use is an Emulator without anything to use it with then!? o_O
If you have nothing to use with it, then go get a copy of Halo and a modded Xbox or a hacked DVD firmware to dump the files. If you can't handle the legalities of using this emulator, then we can't help you. Sorry to say that, but that's just how it works around here and every other emulation site. :(

You also need to realize that emulators don't "magically" work and emulate every game you want it to. Xbox1 is a very complicated machine to emulate (although most users fail to realize it and just assume it should be easy because it's like a PC) therefore requires years of hard work, programming, and system architecture study to actually get it to work. Believe it or not, I'm living proof of this as far as Xbox emulation goes. I'm an active contributor to Cxbx and have been for a long time. I've got some games to load some intro/error screens, but I'm still working out the bugs in these games (problems with NtCreateFile mostly). Here's some samples of my work:

Not really, the requirements for Cxbx aren't really that high.

Are you sure you're not talking about Xeon? That thing runs super fast on my PC. Runs at 72 FPS (normal is 30). It only plays the first level though.

Oh V_V

Well are there any games CxBx DOES fully play? Because I don't want to have wasted a download.

Turok: Evolution is the only game it can play fully.

There's even an unofficial port for PC. I think the CXBX engine was used there.

Thats it V_V. Doesn't seem that interesting. I guess I'll delete the emulator, not like I can't get it again.

No, no, no and no. It is still in development. Leave it alone.

I'm not sure exactly, but I do remember reading something like this. It only runs on 32-bit OSes.

Windows 2k, XP, Vista (32-bit OSes only!)
Intel Pentium III (P4 or better recommended).
NVIDIA GeForce 3 64MB or ATI 9xxx+
256MB Ram

God damn geez that vid has gotten overrated. I mean it was kinda WTF at first, but now its gotten stupid with the 10 million views thing. It got old quick. Getting popular off crying over a celebrity, and yelling at all the haters on youtube, damn. Then again this vid refeshes it.

No, it doesn't run on Win98 SE....

That's only the GUI. Sure the GUI will work fine, but at runtime it won't work properly. It directly accesses some functions from ntdll.dll that are only available on Win2k or later. If you can run an Xbox game on Win98 that would be a feat!



What? Would they be like

You know what, you are so ungrateful! Can you write a better emulator? Like it or not, that is the best Xbox emulator to date. YEARS of hard work went into that emulator, and you call it s@#&#37; because it doesn't play your favourite game!? The one you don't even own?! Now that is f@#%ed up...

Another reason to hate my OS >_<

I know its probobly irony that I was making the CxBx parody of that text, But I just hear all this hype about Halo but I don't have the cash.

Chill, Blue.. And if go back and actually read posts in order you will see the parody quote was him poking fun at the video and applying it to Cxbx.

Don't get all worked up over nothing. Everyone count to 10 if your gonna keep posting in this topic

Yeah, If anything my making fun of that video is the complete opposite of what you thought if you read what it said.

But even if I did get the only game CxBx plays it wouldn't work because I still run Windows 98 SE (my thoughts about that, :msn_cry: )
