I'll be submitting a pull request in a moment. Luke clearly managed to fix the broken geometry issue this game has been suffering from. Lastly, I wanted to state that once again you guys are doing a terrific job. Also keep in mind that this game has some of the same visual artifiacts that Turok has (most notably that stencil-like bug) so it's good to keep it in mind. In either case, the sound buffer cache fills up rather quickly so you can't play it for very long. Panzer Dragoon ORTA is totally beyond the frame of only a shooting game to fight, but cutting-edge grand adventure shooting.

Real-time-based storyline will lead as the game moves on to futher level. The retail version only allows me to get into the tutorials. The main mission of the game is to break through a crisis, making full use of each dragon ability, and to bring all mysteries and fate to an end. The demo doesn't have a video to play so it goes ingame with minimal issues. I wasn't able to get into episode one for the retail because the game hangs when it tries to play an FMV. Now, the 3rd image comes from the PD Demo, and the 4th comes from the final released game. I also did a quick texture related hack since X1R5G5B5 formatted textures don't seem to be supported for me and it worked again! Funny how the issue I've been chasing years back suddenly became obvious. Since Microsoft was too lazy to error check several driver level APIs (and possibly kernel APIs too), this error was never handled by the OS and hence why in the past this game only worked on Vista (I'll blog about it later it's a LONG story). There was a bug in NtCreateEvent's implementation causing the most important event handle never to get created in the first place, causing the game to hang infinitely when you try to select anything in the menus. I wanted to make a few comments on these, as I feel it to be necessary. Give it a go and let us know how you do with the others.Since continuously urged me to get some code submitted, I spent all afternoon and evening working on this to make up for what I left unfinished (you guys inherited my mess, sorry about that).

The backwards compatibility update should download automatically when you next log onto Xbox Live, and it's also possible to download the patch to your PC and then burn it to a CD if you can't connect your console to the Internet.Īlthough the official GB backwards compatibility page has yet to reflect the changes, a quick check this morning with our PAL Xbox 360 saw a patch downloaded, and Panzer Dragoon Orta certainly worked, though Jet Set Radio Future didn't, oddly.

Xbox 360s this morning thanks to a handy patch from Microsoft. Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future and FIFA 07 are among nearly 40 Xbox games that have become compatible with U.S.
