Yet more 32GB and 2GB Creative Zen confirmation

Posted By: wraggster

As if the last two reports about a 32GB Zen from Creative weren't enough for you, here's another for a lazy Saturday. This time, Crave claims to have an unspecified confirmation that a 2GB and 32GB Zen is coming, and it's coming in flash form. Would that make this the highest capacity flash PMP out there? It'd certainly be pipping Sansa to the post.

How would you change Microsoft's flash Zune?

Posted By: wraggster

Hey, we gave you the opportunity to voice your opinion on Microsoft's original Zune back in August, so it's only fair that the new kids on the block get their turn in the ring, too. This go 'round, however, we're adding a little twist -- focus your attention on the flash-based iterations only. The diminutive Zune 4 and Zune 8 were probably more highly anticipated than their HDD-based siblings, and considering that the rumors were literally all over the map leading up to the release, we can't say anything really shocked us when launch day came and went. Granted, we were a bit bummed to find that these wouldn't feature TV outputs, but hey, at least we got the option of adding more than just two lines of text to the thing's rear, right?

By now, you've had more than ample time to give the flash-based Zune of your choice some serious play, and we're sure you've logged a couple of complaints in your mind, so here's your chance to get it all out in the open. If given the keys to the Zune 4 / 8 design lab, what changes would you implement? Add in a few more pixels? How about a few more gigabytes? Melt the whole thing down and shape it like a discus? Or is your heart still longing for the oh-so-elusive Zune phone? Whatever your wish may be, feel free to let the whole world know in comments below -- you never know who'll tune in.

NeoGenesis v22 UMKT Released

Posted By: wraggster

Via tehskeen

nes6502 has released a modified version of NeoGenesis a Sega Genesis, Sega CD and Sega 32X emulator for the original Microsoft XBOX video game console. Using this emulator you can enjoy your classic game collection on your last generation console.

What's New?

This version of NeoGenesis supports ROMs over 6MB. This supports Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy. I tested it with the default skin at 1080i with filters. It ran great with no crashes. I don't know if this breaks anything else, so I would use this as a standalone version. Source changes are included.

ScummVM 0.11.0svn for Xbox

Posted By: wraggster

Carcharius released a new port of ScummVM for Xbox1:

I've just released a beta of my port of ScummVM. This one is based off of the current ScummVM subversion tree (0.11.0svn).

This isn't an update of my previous port, it's a complete 'do over' (as an american might say). Some (xbox specific) things are in this version that weren't in my previous port and it's likely that some things from the previous version aren't in this one.

It is something that I've had in progress for a while now, other stuff kept getting in the way so I couldn't spend time on it. Because of that it's probably not as well tested as it could have been.

That's where you guys come in - please test the hell out of it during the next week or so and post any feedback so that I know what to look at.

Please remember that this is not an official port or part of the ScummVM project itself, so lease don't go bothering those guys with any issues. If you find anything wrong, please come and tell me about it here on xbox-scene.

Sega taking Phantasy Star Online offline in Japan

Posted By: wraggster

We know what you're thinking, "Xbox version shutting down in Japan? Well, that dude's gotta be pissed." Yup, on January 31, 2008 Sega's risking a global backlash and terminating Xbox Live services for the onetime Dreamcast title in Japan.

The good news for the rest of the world's Phantasy Star Online community is that no similar announcements have been made outside of Japan. We don't know about you guys, but we don't want to be around once the legions of MMO-addicted GameCubers catch wind of a cancellation on that platform.
