Minimig VS softmod xbox

Not only that Alexh.. but WinuaeX has ceased being updated.

So lets look at it again, it uses a *VERY* old version of the Winuae core and it is not being worked on any more.

Not only that but the 68000 has to be emulated on the Xbox, Minimig is using *REAL* 68000 opcodes.  Thats a speed boost RIGHT THERE.

Okay it seems Thanos has Winuae and WinuaeX mixed up.

Winuae, is the ORIGINAL, and is what is made by Toni Wilen, and is STILL CURRENTLY being updated.  Winuae is a WIN32 (WINDOWS Binary) file.

Winuaex is the Xbox version.  Toni Wilen *HAS NOTHING* to do with it.  Toni Wilen Releases the SOURCE CODE to Winuae.

WinUAEX was made by an Xbox coding group called XPORT.

XPORT no longer updates Winuaex.  To compile Xbox Binaries, you need the Microsoft Development kit for Xbox, and that is *VERY* difficult to get hold of.

Xbox (Original) has a 733mhz CPU with 64MB of ram, it does not have the "GRUNT" to decode 720p HDTV.  While WinuaeX runs, it *STRUGGLES*.  Xbox does not have the system resources to run fantastic resolutions and color modes offered by AmiKit and others.  Please prove me wrong.

Just a thought: any mention of Amiga piracy on these forums is always considered a crime. In what way is the Xbox piracy you're talking here about any different?
:roll:

I mean modding an Xbox is illegal, right?

Actually, there was a court case here in Australia recently where Sony sued an outfit for exactly that because they Modded Xbox's and Playstation.  Sony *LOST* the case.

The court ruled that Mod chipping is NOT illegal, (To bypass Region coding) to allow playing of games and movies from outside the specific region.

it is my opinion that Region coding is unfair and illegal, and the court agree's.
