Just a quick preview of a future development: High-Resolution rendering is coming to Cxbx-Reloaded:
No nasty hacks, no external software such as dgvoodoo, no broken HUD, but finally, a real, non-game specific solution.
All going well, this will work with every game that can run in C...
This month there have been a few, significant improvements made to Cxbx-Reloaded.

2019-07-03 08:42:50 +0000 UTC View PostDespite the lack of Patreon updates, Cxbx-Reloaded's development has been in full swing with plenty of notable Improvements:
1. Cxbx-R now builds with CMake. This provides no immediate benefit but it opens the door to compiling with other toolchains, work will be taken to get Cxbx-R compili...
2019-05-28 19:06:37 +0000 UTC View PostThis is especially awesome because it allows for System Link capable games to be played between users of Cxbx-R, XQEMU and Real Hardware, all in the same session!
Notes:
The last week or so of effort concentrating on Sega Chihiro support in Cxbx-Reloaded is starting to pay off.
Ollie King, a Sega Chihiro exclusive, is now booting in Cxbx-Reloaded.
Input doesn't work yet, as our arcade emulation is in the very early stages, lots of missing pieces, bu...
Sorry for the lack of updates over here on Patreon, despite the radio silence, we have been rather busy with development over the last few months.
The good news is Sega Chihiro arcade emulation is starting to come together!
More updates on general emulation and compatibility to follo...
Stay tuned while we compile a full progress report. In the meantime, please enjoy this video of Virtua Cop 3 (A SEGA Chihiro exclusive) running in the latest development build of Cxbx-R.
Thanks to Strelok, for uploading his gameplay for all to see.

2018-07-13 14:02:25 +0000 UTC View PostCxbx-Reloaded is currently in the state of 'Feature Freeze' this means that development has temporarily halted on new features, and we're concentrating solely on bug-fixes, performance tweaks, and similar, simple tasks.
This is in preparation for our first official stable release (v0.1), whic...

Firstly, I should apologize for the late progress report, I intended to get a report published before the end of March, but I was busy with work, thank you all for being so patient.
Now that's out the way, Cxbx-Reloaded has made excellent progress these last few months, with a total of 619 co...
2017 has been a busy year for Cxbx-Reloaded. Since January 2017, we've had a total of 1980 commits, contributed by a total of 11 developers.
1980 commits may not sound like a great deal when compared to other projects, but the total number of commits since 2003 is only 3,216. A little more than 60...
2017-12-31 21:42:23 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
First I would like to make an apology for the lack of posts recently. I've been neglecting the community side of things and believe me when I say it's not intentional, there's just hasn't been much to talk about.
We are still very active, there just hasn't been much in the way...
It's been a while since I made a post listing which games I have purchased for testing, so rather than list just the new ones, I'll list all titles I have so far.
Note that I haven't gotten around to dumping and testing all of them yet, but it will/is happening, it's a pretty time consuming t...
This month has been a rather busy one for Cxbx-Reloaded, we even gained some new core contributors to the project.
We are pleased to welcome Radwolfie as a core member of the Cxbx-Reloaded team. For those who are not aware, this individual was the person responsible for the recent improvement...
It's a short one this time:
This month the team and I have been hard at work on various aspects of Cxbx-Reloaded, the most notable improvements being RadWolfie's work on Audio HLE and some timing improvements in thread handling.
The end result is that many titles that lacked audio or ...
This month I've been improving support of the XOnline libraries. While we are a long way from working network capability, and it may seem too soon to begin working on such a thing, many later titles use these libraries extensively and crash due to unimplemented functionality, making it quite i...
2017-06-29 18:04:25 +0000 UTC View PostAs promised, starting from 05th July, I will work a minimum of 16-hours a week on Cxbx-Reloaded. (Most week this has already been the case, but now I will make sure to achieve this every single week).
In order to prove this, I will be using time-tracking software while working on the pr...
I acquired 7 new games to test with Cxbx-Reloaded this month:
June 2017:
I apologise for the lack of news here: I've spent the best part of 3 weeks trying to solve a regression caused by better input emulation.
Fixing the implementation of XGetDeviceChanges to return correct values fixed an issue where many titles were unable to detect input, however, for some un...
A debug kit has been purchased and providing all goes well, it should arrive by Saturday!
This opens up the exciting possibility of real-time debugging Xbox titles on real hardware, this will allow stepping through execution on both the Xbox and Cxbx-Reloaded and should make it much easier to...
It's too soon/I'm not ready to write a full progress report entry, but the source of the majority of the vertex rendering issues has been identified and fixed!
2017-04-29 19:40:55 +0000 UTC View PostThis month we have been hard at work trying to find the source of the vertex bug that is currently plaguing the Dashboard, the GamePad XDK sample and many other titles. Sadly, we have made little progress on this front, but did identify a few small issues that were contributing factors.

As promised, a significant portion of income from the latest batch of pledges was used to purchase games in order to dump and test them on Cxbx-Reloaded. This brings the total number of games I have available to 40.
I will be spending the coming week(s) dumping these games, testing them ...
2017-04-06 09:32:35 +0000 UTC View PostThis is excellent news to wake up to in the morning. As promised, at least the first $20 every month will be used to purchase games in order to dump and test them, and improve their support in Cxbx-Reloaded.
2017-03-28 06:18:16 +0000 UTC View PostFrom now on I'll make sure to write regular progress reports, I don't have any currently prepared so I posted a couple of videos in the meantime.
