Development of the Xemu emulator , which allows you to emulate the original Xbox console on Windows PC , MacOS and Linux , has reached version 0.8.39 .
This open-source emulator receives constant updates that aim to improve stability, extend functionality and ensure greater compatibility, becoming a reliable solution to preserve and enjoy OG Xbox games.
Among the changes made, there are improvements at the scripting level, with the removal of OpenSSL from scripts/gen-license.pyand support for glslang at the system level.
Dependency management has been changed, replacing the nlohmann_json module with a wrap sub-project in the meson system .
Also fixed a UI bug involving buffer size handling in InputTextMultiline , and made optimizations in handling RCC and vertex shaders with explicit representations for float values .
Improvements have also been made to 3D texture handling in PROJECT2D mode and S3TC decoding for textures with dimensions not divisible by 4.
On the compatibility side, an issue related to clipping surfaces to scissor origin has been resolved and the system requirements for macOS on arm64 architecture have been updated to version 13.7.4 .
Finally, a new dependency for python3-venv has been added to the Debian build package .
