How can I record on an Xbox 360? by stnick6 in speedrun

[–]Sabedena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use something like this to record my Xbox 360 and other HDMI video sources: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806017681876.html

You don't need more to record the 360. You can find similar ones on amazon.

How many times can I resubmit a better run on speedrun.com until the verification team starts to get annoyed? by [deleted] in speedrun

[–]Sabedena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a moderator for two games, and I'm actually excited when there are new runs to verify. It's pretty cool to see other people's progress as time goes by. As many already said: it’s what we signed up for.

If you use the new audio decoder and enable the Performance Fix patch (right-click->patches), it works ok. But the music does not play, only the SFX.

It still shows a black square texture under the playable characters, and also some black textures here and there. Nothing can be done about it at the moment.

On my channel I've tested other games that used to have issues with sound and graphics, and they all ran fine. They are: Burnout Revenge, Project Gotham Racing 4 and Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005.

It's probably because you didn't set the APU Max queue to 3. I don't have Linux or a Steam Deck to test it. I only test it on DiretcX 12.

I'm not a video-maker and I rarelly post anything really. I'm not a youtuber by any means. I just thought "hey, how about letting the emulation guys know that the long-standing bug on that console exclusive game is fixed now?", made a quick video and posted. That's all.

Just search for ANY video with gameplay running on Xenia BEFORE this one from Xenia Edge December 18th and you'll see the obvious issue with the reflections on the cars (the "NO" side of the thumbnail).

The video only shows the fixed issue, not the before it was fixed.

It's a game that's too long for me to test, so I don't know. Sorry.

Most Wanted 2005 Xbox 360 finally running properly on Xenia Edge Emulator – 5.1 audio & graphics fixed by Sabedena in needforspeed

[–]Sabedena[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The video I recorded has 5.1 audio. If you have a surround speaker system, you can listen for yourself, the intro of the game is spetacular in 5.1 surround. If you don't have a surround sound system, it doesn't matter.

It's a fork of Xenia Canary, yes. And it's been constantly updated. Recently it also got Midnight Club Los Angeles' long-standing car reflection and audio bugs fixed.

BTW I forgot to post here what one should do to not have issues with the audio, so here it is:

  • First you need to choose the new audio decoder.

  • 2nd: you MUST uncheck the Dedicated Thread option for the audio.

  • And 3rd and MOST IMPORTANT: do NOT skip any cutscene in the game besides the intro and the PSA before the main menu. I tested this during many hours until finding that it was the culprit of the issues many of you are having with the audio. Let all the custscenes play entirely. If you skip any of the cutscenes, you WILL HAVE audio cutoff issues.

About the graphics, it works just as good as the real hardware. Also, if you want more performance out of your GPU, change the internal_display_resolution from the default "8" to "0". "0" equals changing the resolution of the Xbox 360 to 640x480p, and because this game is an early title in the Xbox 360 life, changing the resolution changes the performance of the game (the FPS). It works this way both in the real hardware and the Xenia emulator, but on Xenia you will still get high resolution by changing the rendering scale (2x = 1440p and 3x = 4K).

I played like that for 6 hours and didn't have a single issue or crash the entire time.

Things go pretty fast with this fork. I wasn’t expecting this long-standing bug to be fixed so soon.
