I just saw the release and don't know what's actually different or new in this bigger update. Could not find a changelog or a blog post highlighting the changes. I will try it out today. If you have a changelog, please post a link here. Happy New Year everyone!

I think I'm like 1 of 5 people that played and enjoyed midtown madness 3 on xbox. Last time I looked emulation had forgotten it, wonder if this can run it!

I'm one of those 5. I bought that game back in the day. It was pretty fun. Xbox had so many good games.

It's a very good game! I remember 100%ing it, lots of fun.

It's a shame Microsoft made it exclusive to Xbox so it didn't have extended longevity like MM2 has with the PC modding scene

The compatibility report says it is playable, but has some minor issues: https://xemu.app/titles/4d53002a/#Midtown-Madness-3 I don't know how accurate this actually is. To search for other game titles, look here: https://xemu.app/#compatibility

I tried it a couple of months ago. It's playable, but even on a Ryzen 5 5600, it barely managed to maintain 30 fps at 640x480. Performance might have improved since then though.

Wouldn't your GPU have a greater impact? What GPU do you have?

RTX 2080 and no, this emulator is almost entirely relying on the CPU.

I wonder how much of the core has been changed to prevent rebasing onto a more recent QEMU? We've done a bunch of cleanups and additions too the x86 emulation since 7.2.
