Marketplace

Tested on EmuCR Xenia 9/23/15

Issues:

I ran the ISO after running it through abgx360 (You guys should check this out, might help).
Black screen for quite a bit of time, I checked the log and it was repeating itself so I closed the program and sometimes it crashes right away.

Logs:

Log where it's just a black screen for like 10 mins and i had to close it (778,000 lines):

Log where it crashed itself, ran it after the previous one:

Now that Vulkan has been made the default renderer, it shows the intros but doesn't reach menus anymore (crashes).

[234jazzy2]

Loads up till LionHead Studio and then there is a "guest crash"

xenia.log.txt

please ... complete this game! i finally wanna play it because i love the fable series!

[Kokujou]

@Noade nope still crashs at the same point sorry ^^ just tested with todays release.

[xOneManLegacy]

Still crashes as of Feb 18 2018 update

[Noade]

1.0.1225 (e6524aa4) Apr 8 2018

Game menu now works more stability (no crash/menu glitches/no text in game munu/gpu works slow)

Game starts/loaded 👍

game video - works fine 👍

No gameplay (more glitches/crash)

xenia.log

[Kokujou]

okay... good news i don't get the graphics device lost error. bad news it just hangs when ending the cutscene at start and a lot of text textures missing.

i wish they had settings like rpcs3... you know settings about graphics emulation cpu emulation and all that stuff you can use to raise speed or compatibility...

is anybody of the xenia crew even reading this? would be good to know...

damn this is the only game i ever wanted to play on that console!

[WarFoll2]

In the version of May 12, textures appeared in the game menu.

just in the game itself it became possible to read subtitles, although there are still no game textures.

hope that helps developers a little~ go on you can do it!

[Catpyre]

Xenia seems to be the only 360 emulator that actually functions so we're out of luck unless a third party wants to go into the xenia code and try to find a way to make it compatible with this game all the while keeping it updated alongside xenia which would probably be way to much work for one game or for one person to do.

[Kokujou]

i just wonder... there are a lot fans who want Xenia to work...
why don't they just embed a donation button? if everyone who likes Xenia donates just 1€ they could afford an XBox360 and plenty of games. or... you know.
Or they can do it in another funny way:
As far as i know there are games working fine with Xenia. So why don't they just sell it? I mean... let people who want to use it voluntarily pay for getting the release ^^
Or, i don't know, sell CDs with a cool Xenia Logo.

The best thing would be if a professional company would take the job to develop emulators. you know with actually paid employees and frequent updates^^ developing an emulator isn't illegal. A company could even talk with Microsoft about a little bit of cooperation so they can actually publish the BIOS too.
(because as far as i know it's allowed to publish an emulator as long as it has no stolen or cracked content like the official BIOS).

well... dreaming ahead^^

We did open a Patreon campaign. Recently.

[Kokujou]

really? then maybe you should link it somewhere at the top of Xenia.jp.
so everybody sees it when getting the latest release.
and maybe, i don't know to which degree you can take influence on that, add something like this to emucr, too.
i for myself use this site to get the latest news about emulators.

[gibbed]

@Kokujou The site being updated is on the list of things to do, yes.

[Kokujou]

this is great! Very soon Xenia will be on the same level as rpcs3 :)
i want to take that occasion to ask if making a UI for changing the keyboard keys is on your list too

[gibbed]

@Kokujou This is off-topic for Fable 2, if you'd like to continue asking questions please make a thread on the subreddit or join the Discord server. To answer your question, more advanced UI work will be possible once we settle on a UI framework choice (probably Qt) and have that up and running.

Test on latest build May 24
Game menu/interface now showing full text (one glitches in loading screen) still no gameplay 😕

• 1.0.1334 (8e9d50dd)
• Fable2.log xenia.log

Thx for your work guys! Keep work on it!

[Noade]

Tested on (xenia-project/xenia@ 8a09992)

• Loading screens now works without visual glitches. Game menu almost work completly, but still problems with GPU (gpu-corrupt-drawing, gpu-slow) plus - no music in game menu.
• Fable2.log

• No textures - No gameplay

[Kokujou]

Right now it looks like we would fall through the map... before it freezed... froze... there were some artefacts, maybe wrong textures and no colliders so the protagonists falls through the world...
i'll lappend some logs again.
anyone did test it with starting as the girl? it crashed the first time i tried it with a xenia message box. but i'm not sure if this is everywhere.
xenia.log

[stride21]

The protagonist isn't falling through the world, its the camera moving down to show the bird poo hitting the protagonist.

Guys, please refrain from posts like "Can't wait for Fable 2!!!"
They are surely nice things to say, but its just cluttering all the current progress on Fable 2. I'm getting notifications each time there's a post, hoping that maybe someday it will work and end up seeing this kind of posts instead. Maybe someday I'll be able to push the progress forwards and won't have to go through 200 messages to find 1 comment that is actually helpful with development of xenia for fable 2.
Thanks for understanding.

[olokos]

@treenewbee people like you should get banned from github. Please, stop cluttering this thread. I'm getting email because eric decided to type +1 instead of getting useful development notifications on which I could help out. Instead of helping out this kind of stuff makes me want to unsubscribe entirely not to get spam on my email. While kind words are appreciated like @Fiammata mentioned it's good to keep it reasonable, to separate spam from useful knowledge and progress. Last progress update is 5 posts ago already...

[Kokujou]

@Atlasnya i don't even get to the point you're at did you use a savegame?

aside from that... i still just get over the intro and then:

this is the log
xenia.log

And really guys... is it that much of a problem to compress the file by stacking similar entries? easier for you easier to upload...

[g0ddish]

Video still flickers, falling poop intro starts and stops just slightly beyond @Kokujou above

[Noade]

RIP after cutscene, but game menu was improved a bit...

[HarminderK]

The menu is a bit slow (could be just the animations) but everything works. When you start a new game, the initial video plays properly but after the video ends, it gets stuck on a black screen.

[ZolaKluke]

@GeneicCode Yes, but that's the canary build, your making a compatibility listing on the master branch, these are 2 totally different builds of Xenia

[patronvectras]

That's good to clarify but most of the people watching this don't care what build works so long as one does and aren't watching other builds because they may not know about them. Is there an issue for this game on that build you can link for people to watch?

[ZolaKluke]

@patronvectras The best place for that is on the Xenia Discord server which if you not on already here is the link: https://discord.gg/5g93S8H

People! when can we play Fable 2 in peace?!!!

• Present a Depth of Field issue:

• Which is fixed by changing the line 117 of "xenia.config.toml" on xenia's root folder from:

[mobilemarrow78]

has it been fixed yet/ how do i fix or try to help?

[0088shurik8800]

No, all seems to be the same/ Nothig changed visually

[mirh]

Audio issues should have been supposedly fixed some months ago at least in canary.
The only big deal seems to be ground textures now.

[MaksimBolshov]

Tell me, will there be any changes with textures in the emulator? Or is no one doing this already?
