Acclaim xbox screencaps, ATV3 Lawless, Potential 0th Bit release?

Hey Guys

As you all are probably aware ive recently come into possession of some rather interesting Unreleased Acclaim game titles

What i have is as follows

There were 4 debug units in total which i received, all of which had varying problems which have mostly now been resolved bar from the recovery of the data off debug 4

XBox 1 contained 4 separate builds of Emergency Mayhem, 2 of which i have working, the other 2 will not boot as yet, and there are several XBE files for each debug version

XBox 2 Contained a build of ATV3 as well as 2 builds of Mademan, all of which load without problems

Xbox 3 Contained A debug version of Gladiator, as well as the Turok release you have already seen as well as a similar build of Mobwar (a early version of Mademan)

XBox 4 is still being 'faffed' with as i am currently still trying to retrieve the data off the HDD


You have already seen shots ive posted from Emergency Mayhem and ive also released the Turok Debug what you haven't seen is the following games

First is a unreleased game called ATV 3 Lawless, There is only 1 build on the debug unit, you have 2 game modes in this build, one is Quick race, the other is Splitscreen multiplayer, There are a total of 3 levels in the game, 4 riders and 4 Quad bikes to choose from
















Now although i currently have the debug units with the builds on in my possession, this is a joint thing between myself and Parris, as we original went 50/50 on the purchase price originally

What we are proposing is a possible release of all the games we have, as a 0th bit release, we are currently looking at the possibility of a fundraiser much akin to Sonic Xtreme, but i have yet to hear from Kev about this as to whether he agrees or not

What both myself and Parris would like would be suggestions on where to proceed next, although please contact me in the 1st instance as i will be dealing with this mostly as the debugs are in my possession, and also to see if there is interest at all in releasing these

I have already spoken to Borman about this at length and he has offered his assistance in distributing the files.

So suggestions? comments? either post here, or if you have specific interest in the titles please PM me

I shall also be posting more screens shortly and hopefully some videos of the games

I would love to see a release of ATV 3 Lawless,that game looks very fun.
I would like to thank Parris and diddydonn for contributing to the scene,well done lads:thumbsup:

 

Wonderful it is great to hear, that so much is bubbling at the moment

 

Very nice; allot of unreleased games madness. Personally I'm looking most forward to Emergency Mayhem. But I'm willing to donate for the whole cause / the project in general instead of only one game.

 

Nice, i loved the ATV game i had for my xbox and this looks interesting.

would love to see this and other games get realesed and i would contribute as much as i could

 

Thanks folks for your valued input and comments. We are still awaiting on consent from Kev prior to making any decisions on how to release / proceed or whether an auction would be accepted here on AG. We do not wish to break any rules!

Andy & Borman will no doubt be posting far more information than myself as it makes sense to keep things simple for everyone involved. First point of contact is Andy.

We'd like to hear other people's thoughts on how this / if this should be done. :thumbsup:

 

As Parris has said thanks for the input we have had thus far, we are still waiting on Kev for what to do next, but so far the interest we have had in the games is looking promising

I have also took some screencaps from Mademan, more of Emergency Mayhem, as well as the Gladiator debug which i will be posting this evening, and im also in the process of setting up my vidcap hardware so i can get some videos of the games running

There is also the possibility of adding more items to the mix as well, including a early debug build of Juiced, as well as a final acclaim build of Juiced and Redstar also.

I shall be posting my updates as and when i discover more, but there is a huge amount of data on the Debug units, not only the Games themselves, but also Raw data, as well as music files, savegames for various acclaim games amongst other things

In the mean time if you are genuinely interested in a fundraiser for any of the titles, or are considier helping out in any way please either post on here or PM me personally, the more interest we receive the more likely we are to achieve a release of the games!

Am I correct in assuming you need a debug bios in order to run these on a retail xbox? I know about the hardware differences but haven't touched a debug title as of yet and was curious.

HAHA JUICED! I'd love to see that if it has the intro vid in it.

 

Technically yes you do need a debug to use them on however, i am currently working on making them so they will be able to boot on a normal (modded) xbox

So far this has been quite successful and have already got some of them working this way, however due to the memory restraints of a stock xbox (64mb compared to 128mb on a debug unit) some games may not work

Also it is possible to turn a normal xbox into a debug box (and still having the ability to play retail games, xbmc etc), all be it still with only 64mb, i have done this several times myself, and it does work however i cant openly discuss this as you need to obtain the PC XDK software which is not publicly available, all i can say is google is your friend ;-)

 

Both games were 'leaked' shortly after acclaim closed the doors. So you can skip those 'final' versions.

 

No, there is also a debugged version of Juiced, so I think we'll keep that version in! :110:

 

True, but as i said i am simply including them as a bonus as they are difficult to obtain, and maybe of interest to people, especially to compare to the debug of juiced we may be offering

 

This is amazing and truly great full to DD and parris for there contribution here on AGs. I'll try and help out anyway I can.

 

And neither are very easy to find now ;P

 

Hmmm I am wondering, if I should pay out for a mod to my XBOX. And get myself a modded PS2 too by the way. Because there are so much "shit" going on, that it would be sad if I had no way of trying it out.

 

Well the easiest way to mod a xbox is doing a simple softmod, all you need is a xbox memory card (or usb stick and usb adaptor for xbox) , a copy of either splintercell, 007 or mechassault, and your pretty much set, takes less than 5 minutes to do without the need to open up your good 'ole black box

of course the other way is buy a mobo/hdd combo off me pre softmodded ;-)

back onto topic, i havent had the chance to do any videos as yet, but i have given borman permission to post some shots of mademan on his website here

You might need to elaborate for him....

Which Splinter Cell?

Which 007?

Which MechAssault?

;-)

 

Awesome! Count me in on any release!

 

Naaah, no worries. I was more thinking off a modchip so to speak.

 

Just to keep everyone updated

This is currently on hold and there may not be a release in the forseeable future

This is down to several reasons, partly my personal circumstances, and other reasons which i am not willing to discuss in public at this time, suffice to say i have much more important things to deal with in my life at the moment than organising this, and i do not feel comfortable in letting anyone else deal with the possible release at this time

Also neither myself or Parris have heard from Kev about the proposed release and because of this we do not wish to continue at this time without his input.

All i would like to say is thanks to everyone who has expresssed interest in these games, and i apprciate the comments i have had thus far but sadly i simply cannot commit the time to this as i would like
