Playing some Half-Life 2 Xbox on Xemu emulator - This was a very meritorious port

(English below) Continúo probando juegos en el emulador de Xbox Xemu v0.7.127 (me ha dado por ahí), y otro que tenía que probar es uno de mis videojuegos favoritos de todos los tiempos, Half-Life 2. Aunque yo jugué primero a la versión de PC pocos días después de su salida en 2004 (¡20 años ya!), también compré y jugué a este port para la primera consola de Microsoft (así de fan era).
Este port me parece muy meritorio, aunque obviamente los gráficos tuvieron que ser rebajados respecto a PC (se nota mucho sobre todo en las texturas y falta detalle en algunos de los escenarios amplios), y el juego funcionaba a 30 fps con bajadas. Sin embargo lograron meter la campaña íntegra, aunque fuese con alguna carga intermedia de más, pero a diferencia de otros ports de PC a Xbox que sufrieron recortes severos en sus campañas, como Doom 3 (a causa de la poca RAM de la consola).

This port seems to me very meritorious, although obviously the graphics had to be downgraded compared to PC (it is very noticeable especially in the textures and lack of detail in some of the large scenarios), and the game ran at 30 fps with dips. However, they managed to include the entire campaign, even with some extra intermediate load, but unlike other PC to Xbox ports that suffered severe cuts in their campaigns, such as Doom 3 (because of the low amount of RAM of the console).

Que version de XEMU estas usando? hace rato queria volver a jugarlo ... el port hubiese sido espectacular si en vez de usar el render de DX8 usaban DX7 , se ahorraban todos los problemas del procesador y video jaja , en su momento al juego lo jugue con una Geforce 2 de 32mb y en DX7 andaba espectacular

does this xbox 1 emulator support keyboard and mouse plug and play just like the PCSX2 emulator?

[@DARTHVRNET]

As far as I know you can use the keyboard to emulate the console gamepad, but not the mouse.

what settings did you have it at? for me the game lags hard

[@DARTHVRNET]

No special setting, this emulator barely has configure options to touch, only that I have not put a resolution higher than x3 because Xemu has very bad performance with high resolutions. On my powerful PC with an i9 13900K and RTX 4090, this emulator gives me performance problems in certain games, especially at resolutions of more than x2 or x3 (depending of the game, some can go to more). Something very important, if you have an nVidia graphics, disable “Multi-threaded Optimizations” in the nVidia Control Panel for this emulator.
