|
|
|
Cxbx-Reloaded is an emulator for running Microsoft Xbox (and eventually, Chihiro) games on Microsoft Windows.
|
|
|
|
The project began its life as a fork of Cxbx with added 64-bit support.
|
|
|
|
Work is currently underway to backport some of the improvements made from Dxbx.
|
|
|
|
Cxbx-Reloaded is early in development, however it is progressing almost daily;
|
|
|
|
We now boot more titles than ever before, with more and more reaching gameplay.
|
|
|
|
## System Requirements

## Contributing
|
|
We welcome contributions, large and small.
|
|
|
|
If you want to do some coding, be sure to read the [Developer notes](https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/wiki/Developer-notes).
|
|
|
|
Please contact us before you start working on something, so we can make sure your work is going to be accepted once finished.
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
1. [Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com/)
|
|
2. [Visual Studio 2017](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/) (2015 might work, but is not officially supported)
|
|
3. Windows 8.1 SDK (Should be included with Visual Studio)
|
|
4. [Microsoft Child Process Debugging Power Tool](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GreggMiskelly.MicrosoftChildProcessDebuggingPowerTool)
|
|
|
|
### Fetching the code
|
|
Run the following command on the command line:
|
|
`git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/`
|
|
|
|
Please note the `--recurse-submodules` parameter. This is required to fetch sub-modules.
|
|
|
|
Without this, Cxbx-Reloaded will fail to build.
|
|
|
|
If Cxbx-Reloaded was previously checked out without the submodules, they can be updated/fetched with the following command:
|
|
`git submodule update --recurse-submodules`
|
|
|
|
### Compiling
|
|
Simply open `build/Win32/Cxbx.sln` within Visual Studio, select your configuration (Release or Debug) and hit Build.
|
|
|
|
Please note that Debug builds are significantly slower, but include much more detailed kernel logging, and may help diagnose a problematic title.
