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 :) . USAGE ------------------- In order to play a game, you'll need a dump of the original game Roms or CD. CPX3 can load the games from FlashROM SIMM dumps or from a CHD image of the game CD. To load from a ROM dump, you'll need all the ROM files packed in a .zip file named like the game short name. To load form a CHD image, you'll need a dump of the cartridge ROM in a .zip with the game short name and the corresponding .CHD file (see the GAMES section for more info about the names). The ROM .ZIP files must be placed in the ROMS directory. The .CHD files must be in the CHD directory. CONTROLS ------------------- The GUI can only be used by the joystick connected in port 1 (Joy 1): DPad Left/Right: Move selection in the main icon bar (Emulator,Game,Options,About) Change value in settings screens DPad Up/down: Move selection up/down in the menu and list screens. A Button: Enter Menu Activate Option B Button: Go back one menu level. Back Button: Switch to/from GUI while in game. The default game controls (you can change them once a game is loaded, and are stored per-game) are as follow: DPad: Up/Down/Left/Right X Button: Button 1 Y Button: Button 2 Left Trigger: Button 3 A Button: Button 4 B Button: Button 5 Right Trigger: Button 6 White Button: Coin Start Button: Start Joy 1 Left Analog Button: Service Joy 1 Right Analog Button: Test Mode GAMES ------------------- Title: JoJo's Venture / JoJo no Kimyouna Bouken Short Name: jojo ROMS: CART ROM: FileName: 29f400.u2 CRC: 02778f60 SIMM ROMS: FileName: 10 CRC: e40dc123 FileName: 20 CRC: 0571e37c FileName: 30 CRC: 1d99181b FileName: 31 CRC: 6889fbda FileName: 40 CRC: 8069f9de FileName: 41 CRC: 9c426823 FileName: 50 CRC: 1c749cc7 CHD: FileName: jjk000.chd MD5: 05440ecf90e836207a27a99c817a3328 Title: JoJo's Venture / JoJo no Kimyouna Bouken (Alternate Set) Short Name: jojoalt ROMS: CART ROM: FileName: 29f400.u2 CRC: 02778f60 SIMM ROMS: FileName: 10 CRC: bc612872 FileName: 20 CRC: 0e1daddf FileName: 30 CRC: 1d99181b FileName: 31 CRC: 6889fbda FileName: 40 CRC: 8069f9de FileName: 41 CRC: 9c426823 FileName: 50 CRC: 1c749cc7 CHD: FileName: cap-jjk-160.chd MD5: 93cc16f11a88c8f5268cb96baebc0a13 Title: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future Short Name: jojoba ROMS: CART ROM: FileName: 29f400.u2 CRC: 4dab19f5 SIMM ROMS: FileName: 10 CRC: 6e2490f6 FileName: 20 CRC: 1293892b FileName: 30 CRC: d25c5005 FileName: 31 CRC: 51bb3dba FileName: 40 CRC: 94dc26d4 FileName: 41 CRC: 1c53ee62 FileName: 50 CRC: 36e416ed FileName: 51 CRC: eedf19ca CHD: FileName: jjm000.chd MD5: bf6b90334bf1f6bd8dbfed737face2d6 Title: Street Fighter III: New Generation Short Name: sfiii ROMS: CART ROM: FileName: 29f400.u2 CRC: 74205250 SIMM ROMS: FileName: 10 CRC: e896dc27 FileName: 30 CRC: 98c2d07c FileName: 31 CRC: 7115a396 FileName: 40 CRC: 839f0972 FileName: 41 CRC: 8a8b252c FileName: 50 CRC: 58933dc2 CHD: FileName: sf3000.chd MD5: cdc5c5423bd8c053de7cdd927dc60da7 Title: Street Fighter III 2nd Impact: Giant Attack Short Name: sfiii2 ROMS: CART ROM: FileName: 29f400.u2 CRC: faea0a3e SIMM ROMS: FileName: 10 CRC: 682b014a FileName: 20 CRC: 38090460 FileName: 30 CRC: 77c197c0 FileName: 31 CRC: 7470a6f2 FileName: 40 CRC: 01a85ced FileName: 41 CRC: fb346d74 FileName: 50 CRC: 32f79449 FileName: 51 CRC: 1102b8eb CHD: FileName: 3ga000.chd MD5: 941c7e8d0838db9880ea7bf169ad310d Title: Street Fighter III 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future Short Name: sfiii3 ROMS: CART ROM: FileName: sf33usa.bin CRC: ecc545c1 SIMM ROMS: FileName: 10 CRC: 77233d39 FileName: 20 CRC: 5ca8faba FileName: 30 CRC: b37cf960 FileName: 31 CRC: 450ec982 FileName: 40 CRC: 632c965f FileName: 41 CRC: 7a4c5f33 FileName: 50 CRC: 8562358e FileName: 51 CRC: 7baf234b FileName: 60 CRC: bc9487b7 FileName: 61 CRC: b813a1b1 CHD: FileName: 33s000.chd MD5: f159ad85cc94ced3ddb9ef5e92173a9f Title: Street Fighter III 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future (Alternate Set) Short Name: sfiii3a ROMS: CART ROM: FileName: sf33usa.bin CRC: ecc545c1 SIMM ROMS: FileName: 10 CRC: ba7f76b2 FileName: 20 CRC: 5ca8faba FileName: 30 CRC: b37cf960 FileName: 31 CRC: 450ec982 FileName: 40 CRC: 632c965f FileName: 41 CRC: 7a4c5f33 FileName: 50 CRC: 8562358e FileName: 51 CRC: 7baf234b FileName: 60 CRC: bc9487b7 FileName: 61 CRC: b813a1b1 CHD: FileName: cap-33s-2.chd MD5: cf63f3dbcc2653b95709133fe79c7225 Title: Red Earth / Warzard Short Name: warzard ROMS: CART ROM: FileName: 29f400.u2 CRC: f8e2f0c6 SIMM ROMS: FileName: 10 CRC: 68188016 FileName: 30 CRC: 074cab4d FileName: 31 CRC: 14e2cad4 FileName: 40 CRC: 72d98890 FileName: 41 CRC: 88ccb33c FileName: 50 CRC: 2f5b44bd CHD: FileName: wzd000.chd MD5: 028ff12a4ce34118dd0091e87c8cdd08 |
