quote: http://www.caustik.com/cxbx/progress.htm : one of the necessary emulation areas for cxbx is something i call kernel hijacking. basically, during the life time of an .xbe file, the code grabs pointers to kernel export functions (any of about 366) and calls them using those addresses. the fact that .xbes use a kernel thunk table makes it reasonably easy to hijack these calls and fake them, so that the .xbe can be executed on your pc. hijacking the function calls is simply a matter of modifying the entries in the kernel thunk table.

it is necessary to accurately fake all of the 366 kernel export functions, in such a way that the .xbe sees no difference between them and the "real" xbox kernel exports. this is a relatively daunting task, but is by no means impossible. with help from other people in the xbox hacking scene, these kernel exports will be emulated and the next stage of emulation will continue.

Hm. can't wait to hear when all kernel thunking ( :confused:  what ??) is done, when we don't need an xbox to play your favo games.

Calum, i think you are right and people should see the difference between windoze and pc games. If it says 'pc', i think it should run on _any_ platform, SunOS, Linux, UNIX, wha eva.

Calum:
me too. it should run on MacOS too. as macman is SO fond of telling us, his MAC has got "PC" printed on the case.
