KI-Emu X Beta 2 (by LikkleBaer) =============== This is my little update to lantus' U64Emu project. I changed the name because the previous version couldn't seem to make up its mind, the internal XBE name was 'Killer Instinct X, and the in-game menus and docs referred to it as 'U64-X'. At least now everything matches ^_^. So here's what I've added/changed: - Now runs from disc as well as HDD. (see notes below) - Fixed reversed HP and HK controls. - Fixed inverted directions when resizing screen. - Optimized display settings and screen size. - UI has been given a facelift. - Added nice loading screens. (mainly for disc users) - Included DATs to ensure correct ROMs are used. That's all for now. ^_^ BTW, You'll need to delete your old 'Killer Instinct X' savegame (or e:\tdata\64646464) before running this version. Notes for disc users ==================== These are some points that you will need to keep in mind if running KI-Emu X from disc. First of all, it takes alot longer to load from disc than from HDD (hence the pretty new loading screens). KI1 will take about 1.5 minutes, KI2 will take between 3 and 4 minutes during which time your Xbox will not appear to be doing anything, but just leave it alone and everything will work fine. Also, any changes to the games diagnostics settings (e.g. volume control) will not be saved since these changes need to be applied directly to the HD image. If you wish to adjust these settings then I would recommend using the PC version of U64Emu to do so before burning your images to disc (though don't set the volume too high or you'll get crackling sound).
