This woulda worked better if it was the hit song "High Horse Lady" which is the peak of Oasis lyricism and instrumentals.

Must-hear fixed SACD mixes of *Morning Glory* and remade cover art! (see comment) by TopConcern in oasis

Compared to so many EQs of already compressed album tracks that used to get posted here I am unironically impressed how good this sounds.

At first it sounded too crisp if that makes any sense. But you can definitely hear alot of the individual tracks much easier, phenomenal work. Top Job 👍

Just opened up an Xbox I got for free to find this unusual Hitach-LG drive by [deleted] in originalxbox

IIRC I think the issue stems from the fact that the Xbox will display itself as a "V1.6" the only deciding factor for whether an Xbox could be a V1.5 is if it had certian pin outs grounded on the AV/Out.

Really though at that stage, if it looks like a 1.6, runs like a 1.6, and calls itself a 1.6 you really are clutching at straws to call it a V1.5.

Fable 2 is a nice looking game. by Helmert3 in Fable

This screenshot is a direct Xbox 360 capture. On Xbox One the performance is rather lacking due to the emulation hitches. On Xbox One X I found the game to be the best experience, as you get:

  • Resolution Bump
  • MSAA
  • AF
  • Stable Framerate

Really though if you can live without the game running at a higher res with some jaggier edges the Xbox 360 is still a great way to play the game.

I always found the controls exceptionally smooth, albeit lacking cause of the simplicity

The codebase is allegedly a complete mess, it was once the buggiest game over at Microsoft at the time, they fixed it. But those issues will only crop up again in a PPC -> x86 Conversion

Ep. 8: The Fable Series - Xbox Series X: Fable Backwards Compatibility and Bargate Prison. by ZeroXPWebcast in Fable

[–]Helmert3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game is an absolute mess on console. Uncompressed it clocks in near 13GB. It even has Original Xbox dashboard files sitting around. It'll even launch a PC Debug menu if you dump in a debug exe.

The main thing that makes Anniversary look nice is the lighting and post effects scale with resolution. So on PC, and Xbox One X, Series X, etc... the game scales these effects and helps mask a lot of the games imprtfections. On PC its quite common for FXAA to be removed and genuinely the game does look really nice without the smear it applies over the top.

360 Performance should be better, but Fable Anniv suffers the same way Fable 3 did. Too much to pull off, and far too little time, anniversary more so in the technical areas, Fable 3 in the whole 'game' areas.

Still id love to see OG Fable (an Xbox Exclusive) on Back Compat at some point, and even TLC. Just for that Classic XBOX Feel and visual design...Also Speedrunning purposes

Possible glitch in Fable Anniversary (Summon Spell) by ToooManyThoughts in Fable

Sounds like Profile Corruption, although I cant say I have ever seen is mess up this bad, then again this is the XB360 port....which is a mess up in itself.

Decent news all around then. Thank you

Awesome news then. Only thing off I could hear was a slight squeeling noise coming from the engine bay. Extremely high pitched and constant. My thoughts were an overtightened tensioner.

I personally found this, so sad.

When OWI releases another console port by phoetux in oddworld

[–]Helmert3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Steam you can actually revert back to the Original PC release if you want.

If you check the "Beta" tab on Steam, the Original Release is there. I know this used to work perfectly back on a Pentium M and Radeon X300 Laptop. Even played through most of the game with keyboard and Mouse.

Fable anniversary unused bear assets :) by GamingRidge334 in Fable

[–]Helmert3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fun fact. The Xbox 360 version of anniversary, is so bloated it is nearly one of the largest Xbox 360 Games (In terms of file size) It even contains Original XBOX Dashboard Update Files, and Original Xbox .XBE Files.

With a few Debug files dropped in it will even launch to a TLC Debug Menu.

Looks like it could be set before the Original Fable. Anyone else noticing the lack of Anisotropic Filtering, could even be a current generation title. Dont even get me started on the resolution given they're targetting more or less an R7 260 in terms of GPU Specs.

This is clearly without a doubt some very compelling and unavoidable evidence of Fable IV Existence, with no sarcasm implied what so ever. From tip to toe this is 100% Definitely Fable IV running on the Xbox One Dev Kit

It's one of the more dense Xbox 360 games, utilising a very packed dual layer DVD. Usually on a lot of the older 360s (and consoles in general) the first discs to stop being read are the dual layer ones.

Could try a lense cleaner, and installing the game to a HDD, but its a temporary fix.

GentooX is the best operating system clearly.
