    Sumiguchi posted this news/release:

    Hi Everyone,
    SpriteAttack & I released a game called Geo Wars that won the Dev-fr competition in late July but if you haven't tried it, please check it out!



    It is a space shoot'em up game. You must battle through waves of enemies to save Trinity and all of humanity.

    Characters
    There are two playable characters and you must progress through the game as both characters. (Progress for each character is stored seperately) There are some difference - primarily in the bombs. Alice has radial bomb controlled by the stylus and Mortymer has guided missles also controlled by the stylus.
    The game is easier if you play as Alice but I think you can get higher scores with Mortymer once you master your bomb control techniques.

    Modes of Play
    There are 10 missions, 10 Zones and 2 training missions to play. Missions allow you to unlock new areas and upgrade your ship. In Zone, you always start with basic weapon capabilities and can get better weapons/bombs by collecting power ups. Be sure to enjoy the stereo sfx with headphones. Audio options are in the pause menu during gameplay

    I hope you will submit your scores online to show your capabilities in case of a similar strike against Earth. Online Leaderboard

    Please enjoy!

    Requires DLDI Patching (R4/M3 users - do not let the device create the save file...the game will do it)

    This game is a final release, but comments/suggestions or any other type of feedback is welcome.

    Elsemi has released the first public version of the Capcom Play System III Emulator for Xbox, heres the release details:





    CPX3 - CPS3 emulator for XBOX
    version 1.0

    CPX3 is a Capcom Play System 3 emulator for XBOX.

    CPS3 is a quite powerful system and the XBOX CPU is barely enough to emulate it so you can expect
    some slowdowns in zoomed and graphics intensive scenes.
    Also the XBOX RAM (64MB) is not enough to load the rom dumps and the rest of memory in the CPS3 hardware so the emulator uses a disk swap file to hold the uncompressed rom dumps and load from it as necessary. You'll notice some "hiccups" in the emulation in some scene changes, when the emulator needs to copy blocks of rom data from disk to memory (especially at the beginning of fights or when a super move is performed).

    The Street Fighter 3 games run pretty well, with few slowdowns and frame drops. SF3 2nd impact would require twice the amount of ram to store the decrypted program roms due to having different encryption on program and data, so to make it fit in the XBOX RAM, the emulator decrypts the data plane on the fly (like the hardware does ) so in this
    game slowdowns are more likely. Next to them are the jojo games, that sometimes need to copy big amounts of gfx data from disk to ram and have
    some framerate drop (specials, stand enter/exit).
    The game with more slowdowns is Warzard, due to the abuse of zoom out (that requires the emulator to render more visible area), huge sprites and complex background graphics.

    The emulation of shadows is not accurate due to the way the original hardware works. Emulating it properly requires a lot of extra CPU power and the XBOX will not be capable of running the games at full framerate. They are currently just darkening the image under them, that is right for shadows but not for other effects, that's a price to pay for playability .

    "Classic Game Room" was the first classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999 and 2000. It returns as a feature-length comedy film about the triumphant story of online success, failure, obscurity, resurrection and success again!

    The legendary show was produced in the early days of online video by Mark Bussler and David Crosson at an Internet startup with one camera, a green screen and $50 budgets. The show was objective, entertaining and obnoxious with beer-drinking, bottle-throwing, joystick-slinging, car-crashing classic game reviews. A cult following developed and the reviews kept coming, but how long could it last until the money ran out?

    Features the original raucous reviews of Duck Hunt for NES, Alien for Atari 2600, X-Men for Sega Genesis, Sega GT for Dreamcast, Joust and Missile Command for Playstation, Frogger for Atari 2600, SeaMan for Dreamcast, Perfect Dark for Nintendo 64 and Yars' Revenge for Atari 2600.
