|
|
|
Cxbx-Reloaded is an emulator for running Microsoft Xbox (and eventually, Chihiro) games on Microsoft Windows.
|
|
|
|
## System Requirements
|
|
### Minimum
|
|
* OS: Windows 7+ x64. 32-bit installations are not supported.
|
|
* GPU: Anything that supports Direct3D 9 (HLE) and OpenGL 3.3 (LLE).
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
* Visual C++ 2017 redistributable is required. Most people should already have this, but if not, Download it [here](https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads). Make sure to install the 32-bit (x86) version even if you are on a 64-bit machine, as the 64-bit build does not include both!
|
|
* Npcap (Used for Network emulation): Download the Installer [here](https://nmap.org/npcap/#download). Make sure to enable winpcap compatibility mode!
|
|
|
|

## 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).
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT: Pull-Requests containing code derived from XQEMU will _not_ be approved until an agreement is reached to make work mutually beneficial. this includes updates to existing xqemu derived code. We should not/will not become a hostile fork.**
|
|
|
|
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.

* All contributors to the original Cxbx and Dxbx projects. Without them Cxbx-Reloaded would not exist at all.

|
* [XQEMU](https://github.com/xqemu/xqemu) - While the majority of Cxbx-R is our own work (Kernel, HLE, etc), the NV2A LLE implementation and NVNet implementation are primarily the work of the XQEMU developers.
