creating the pkg with --vu1=jit-sync in config allows the level to load, but you will be out of bounds, and unable to move. Also causes strange graphical glitch on the screen with some random model always being there. The game probably can work normally, but requires a lot of research of emulator settings required for it.
NTSC-U tested, FMVs are interlaced and occasionally jump due to this. Aside from that, game is playable. NTSC-J - aside from minor interlacing(about the same as in PCSX2, to note) in FMVs, works perfect.
On second thought, not so perfect. The menu of dropping a persona when you have full stock and get one from shuffle time is not shown. It works, but you can't see it. Not a critical error, otherwise perfect, cleared from start till end+Episode Aegis.
-Game has a few cutscenes that play out of sync with audio and a few that the camera does not follow the characters in cutscenes correctly. -Trying to enter the AGWS shop in Kukai will result in being stuck in a wall HOWEVER you are not required to enter to complete the game (though you'll never be able to attain Shions best abilities)
Hey guys, so a few months ago i decided to buy the bigbox subscription. I've been trying to play some xbox games with xemu and some games won't work. The issue is the game will load, the sounds are all there, the game will respond to inputs but the screen will be black except for the toolbar for xemu at the top. Itll load the start up screen for xbox but that's it. The game I mainly want to play is need for speed most wanted 2005. I don't know which other games don't work but other people in my house have tried a few others and have had varied results with some working fine and others having the above problem. The computers running Microsoft Windows 10 pro with Intel corei7. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and to anyone who responds. Cheers!
I'd check the emulators compatibility page, it sounds like that game may just not run on that emulator. Xbox emulation is still in VERY early stages and isn't near as stable as other platforms so issues SHOULD be expected.
Thanks for the response! I'll definitely have a look into the compatibility list. That sounds as tho it's the most probable reason. I know its still in early stages so I expected that there may be some issues with stability but thought that maybe it was a setting or something along those lines that hasn't been setup properly on my end. I'll have to see if it isnt compatible yet, that if maybe it'll run on a different platform like ps2 or pc or something. Regardless tho, thanks for the tip!
New emulators tend to be pretty picky when it comes to what GPU you are using as well. Some emulators play better with Nvidia than AMD for example. I'm not sure if that emulator has that quirk or not but would be another thing to potentially look into.
You might want to check the compatibility list on Xemu's official website (link below). "Need for Speed Most Wanted" is marked as "Playable" by the way. A rather impressive 83% of the catalog is playable with Xemu, however it does require a fairly fast CPU and decent GPU from what I've experienced and heard as well.
So one of my childhood all-time favourite games was the one mentioned in the title, minus the remaster. I found out some time later that the game was available on XBOX 360. In my head, this was great news. This meant I would be able to play online with others. I had been trying to connect my PS2 to the internet, with little progress. So, in 2015, March time to be more exact, I purchased the game.
Happy days, right? Nope...The game is an XBOX classic game, meaning the XBOX guide is disabled. Hopefully I can still use online features within the game...Kiss your dreams goodbye. It seems the game was quickly made available on XBOX, but had no thought put in in terms of updates for online compatibility. I know they stopped development long ago, but they could still make one small update. It can't be that hard to code in an operation that allows for internet connectivity, and maybe change the guide FALSE handle to TRUE so we don't feel shut off while enjoying the game.
I would be delighted if they made it available on Next-Gen consoles like the XBOX ONE, but that seems far-fetched. I hear you can use a PC emulator with the disk on PC...too bad my PC has no CD drive.
It was a launch title for the 360 back when EA had the HD games titles for the "new 720p generation". Online for that game has been dead for years, in fact it died rather fast vs other EA games. Even if it still worked, I suspect not many would use it today for you to get games on it.
But either way, it's still better looking then my PS2 version. And it still works. I did finally get all the single player achievements here like a year ago. Does it need a remaster? IMO no... if anything they should look more on Takedown vs this. As this already got a "remaster" of sorts.

Here, we'll list the top console emulators you can effortlessly use on your Mac, opening up a world of gaming possibilities that cater to all your preferences and nostalgia.

Although it's currently not in active development, AetherSX2 remains recognized as one of the top PS2 emulators for macOS, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to rekindle the magic of timeless classics.
Ryujinx is an open-source Nintendo Switch emulator that allows you to transcend the boundaries of Nintendo's iconic handheld console and enjoy all the captivating Switch games on your Mac.

Dolphin Emulator lets you liberate Nintendo's cherished GameCube and Wii classics on your Mac. The native Apple silicon version offers excellent performance, with some GameCube games even hitting 120FPS.
While the GameCube and Wii originally had a native resolution limited to 480p, the Dolphin emulator also offers the capability to enhance game visuals by upscaling them to resolutions as high as 4K.
The PSP continues to hold its status as one of the finest portable gaming consoles ever created. Thanks to the PPSSPP emulator, Mac users can now enjoy their cherished exclusives, such as Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

Moreover, with native support for Apple silicon, the improved frame rate ensures an objectively superior gaming experience.
For those with a primary interest in retro gaming, OpenEmu stands out as the ideal option. It supports an extensive range of consoles, encompassing systems from the Game Boy to the SNES. A more comprehensive list of supported consoles can be found on OpenEmu's GitHub.
OpenEmu has consistently been my preferred emulator for enjoying timeless titles like Pokmon FireRed. Even when running through the Rosetta translation layer on Apple silicon Macs, it delivers impeccable performance and stability.
Console emulation is a captivating portal that allows you to unlock the treasures of gaming nostalgia and potential. Whether you don't want to carry your Nintendo Switch while traveling or just want to relive the good old PS2 classics, you'll find an emulator that suits your needs.
