Munch oddysee for pc..
 
I would like to ask one question:
Is the data on a dvd-rom of an xbox compatible with pc?
The answer i would like is if you can insert munch's oddysee into a dvd-rom drive and play it(i'm still here in Europe waiting for it so i will not have a chance until a couple of months).
Also, if you have the game could you tell me how much space it takes of a dvd-rom?
Thank you.

question... can you play PS2 games on PC ?
I think it would be the same for Xbox => Munch's Oddysee


I'm in Europe too
Where do you come from?


aaaaaaaarg 2 months

When will Munch be released in Europe? I'm in the U.K. If MO works in a DVD player i might be able to use it then ^_^

It would be relased the 14 march, the same time as the Xbox

But I don't think it would work in a DVD reader

It's impossible

I just asked this question because i thought an xbox cd (8 gb dvd) may have data stored just like on every other cdr format (i had this thought in mind because xbox is been made by microsoft).

Xavier 01-11-2002 06:17 PM

Microsoft said that the Xbox is not a PC

sodd 01-12-2002 03:56 AM

And why on earth would they say that Xavier?
To trick people into buying BOTH platforms!!!

XBOX emulators are ALREADY present on the internet.. All you need is a very speedy computer and a very high quality DVD-rom...
And supposidly... Any XBOX game is yours to play!

However... Emulation is very flawed for N64, PS1, PS2... I doubt they have perfected Xbox emulation yet.. BUt it's definitly coming..

andmon 01-12-2002 08:01 AM

I found an xbox emulator that runs 8 games but i don't know if it runs oddworld MO.
And...the system requirements WILL kill you!!!

REQUIREMENTS

At least 1GHz Athlon/Duron/P3/P4
Nvidia Geforce Video/ATI Radeon only
256MB RAM
DVD ROM Drive

KNOWN BUGS

Video flickering in some Games
Sporadic crashes.
Slow Performance on P3 Systems
General Problems with Intel CPUs
Not compatible to Kyro graphics
No Joystik support yet
OpenGL support only for nvidia gForce 2/3
No Gamepad Support yet

You can download it at http://www.linarsoftware.de.vu/
But be careful..i heard rumors that it's a virus.

andmon 01-12-2002 08:04 AM

i will be looking for other emulators while i go on.

I also found another xbox emulator.
But it seems that it only runs HALO.
You can download it at http://www.xboxemu.fr.fm/
I don't know if this emu is a virus or fake.

Sorry guys for me carrying on posting sites for xbox emus..
But i keep searching and searching and i keep finding and finding.
By the way...I finally found an emu that runs MUNCH (but it runs under windows 3.1)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can test your computer and download it at http://www.iamlost.com/features/x31/.
I don't know if this emu is a virus or fake.
Now tell me.. shall i keep looking for emus or stop??

Keep hoing keep going! by the time munch is out in europe theyl probably have made a good emulator (one withoutbugs). And the system reqiuerments fit my compu. JEY!! :D

Roop 01-12-2002 01:26 PM

Wow 4 posts in a row thats a spam.

Xavier 01-12-2002 01:29 PM

not realy spam, because in each post there is something constructive and intresting...

My PC isn't powerfull enough

:(

Roop 01-12-2002 01:33 PM

thats why there is the edit botton

Xavier 01-12-2002 01:37 PM

yeah but your post was spamming...

BTW: Munch 003 can you find other emus?

andmon 01-12-2002 01:49 PM

No,
There are no other emus have been made for xbox now...
But i found this info on the oddworld homepage:

Q: Will there be a PC version?

A: At the moment we are focusing on
Munch's Oddysee for the Xbox.Any development beyond that is still to be determined.

And also on a web page i found the following:


ODDWORLD INHABITANTS PRODUCTS:

abe's oddysee-psx,pc
abe's exoddus-psx,pc
munch's oddysee-xbox

CANCELLED PROJECTS:

munch's oddysee-ps2
munch's oddysee-pc

So this could give a chance that there will be a pc version and that there wouldn't be (otherwise why did they cancel the pc version?)
But anyway..i'll keep looking for emus.

sodd 01-12-2002 02:03 PM

Roop
man!

Just ease up a bit huh?


OOOOOOO SPAMING! big deal!

What's the harm in posting a few messages in a row? He was helping us out!

andmon 01-12-2002 02:28 PM

I had this reply from the Linar Software/Studios (the company of one of the xbox emus):

Hello,

Perhaps Oddoworld works with 0.36, but we
haven't tested it.

yours sincerely

PS!

No body get that Xbox 3.1 emulator!

It's an elaborate JOKE!

Nobody fall for it.. it's most likely a virus of some sort...

andmon 01-12-2002 03:18 PM

I found info about the emu by Linar Software/Studios, i found out that munch does work on it and this emu is no way a virus or fake!
The company told me that they tested it and it works at 70%!!!
The problem now would be the system requirements.
But the company told me that it runs all games but most would work at about 50% or don't work.
What you should do is getting this emu to work and then whait for the next release.
If all the future oddworld games are for xbox then they would probably all be working on pc.

Xavier 01-12-2002 05:30 PM

I never hear about the cancel of a PC version...
It would maybe be easy to adapt on PC but there isn't a version yet


They canceled SligStorm too :D

andmon 01-12-2002 06:30 PM

Xavier is that right?
Didn't you ever heard of the cancel of a pc version?
Well.. this site has munch's preview for pc: http://pc.ign.com/previews/14213.html
And if you look at the release date it says:
Cancelled -- Xbox exclusive
But also in the demo page on oddworld.com there was munch's oddysee with the sign COMMING SOON, but that was before the cancel and now OWI took it off because of the cancel.
We can only hope for that OWI decides to make again a pc version.

Disgruntled Intern 01-13-2002 02:31 AM

Munch 003 i find this totally ironic..in your first post you called me and everyone else 'dumb' because we said it wasn't for PC..now you are eating your own words..haha

Xavier 01-13-2002 07:11 AM

Yeah I knew that page...
And I knew about the demo too...
Yeah there was maybe a PC version ;)

sorry

fresco 01-13-2002 07:30 AM

I want Munch for PC!!! Is there a petition out there that I can sign?

Xavier 01-13-2002 07:36 AM

a petition?
hmmmmmmmm
what can do a petition if there is a lot of money agains that project

fresco 01-13-2002 07:53 AM

there is a lot of money against this project?

Xavier 01-13-2002 07:59 AM

No but for the exclusivity Microsoft will pay a lot of money

So I don't think it would be on PC

andmon 01-13-2002 10:08 AM

Yes,
On my first post i called you guys dumb because you saif it's not comming for pc, well..i appologise to all of you.
On that day i was a bit nervous because i really thought munch was comming for pc.. but i didn't see on the word on relise date which was CANCELLED--XBOX EXCLUSIVE.
But anyway i edited my post and again sorry.
