Xvectrex beta 0.1

Posted By: wraggster

Darcelf has released a new emulator for Xbox.

Xvectrex is a port of vecx, a vectrex emulator.

The Vectrex is an 8-bit video game console developed by General Consumer Electric (GCE) and later bought by Milton Bradley Company. The Vectrex is unique in that it utilized vector graphics drawn on a monitor that was integrated in the console; no other console before or after the Vectrex had a comparable configuration. It was released in late 1982 at a retail price of $199. As the video game market declined and then crashed, the Vectrex exited the market in early 1984.

Xzx81 beta v0.1

Posted By: wraggster

Darcelf/Alg5 has released a new emulator for Xbox.

Xzx81 is an xbox port of Xz81, a zx81 emulator.

"The Sinclair ZX81 home computer, released by Sinclair Research in 1981, was the followup to the company's ZX80. The case was black, with a membrane keyboard; the machine's distinctive appearance was the work of industrial designer Rick Dickinson. Video output, as in the ZX80, was to a television set, and saving and loading programs was via an ordinary home audio tape recorder to magnetic audio tapes."

heres the info:

The screen, keyboard, tape reader and sound(!) are emulated.
The keyboard is emulated using a virtual keyboard.
The sound emulate a sound addon called Bi-Pak Zon X-81 that was using an AY chipset (much like the Atari ST, Amstrad CPC...)

To Do:
* Joystick emulation ?
* Add a menu to select some options (reset, type of sound addon ...)

Microsoft's Lid Secure on Xbox Supply

Posted By: wraggster

Microsoft will likely ship 1.2 million Xbox 360s worldwide -- and just 700,000 to 800,000 in the U.S. -- by the end of the holiday quarter, said Thomas Weisel analyst Tim Klasell in a report issued on Wednesday, which cited media reports and conversations with retailers. In contrast, Klasell had earlier predicted that Microsoft would ship 2 million of the devices by the end of the year.

While the console launched to much fanfare, it is well known that Microsoft's ambitious global launch plans constrained supplies, leaving inventory thin at retail and gamers clamoring for limited shipments, he said in his report.

A Microsoft representative did not return a call seeking comment.

The software giant will still probably hit its target of shipping 2.75 million to 3 million Xbox 360s within 90 days of the device's launch last month, Klasell said, predicting that Microsoft would ship 1.6 million devices in the first quarter of 2006. But the company is likely to ship the bulk of those systems toward the end of the quarter, he said.
