    I have some prototypes of first gen games, and they don't seem to like new hardware?

    Does xenon hardware have specific calls to that hardware not in slim?

    Itchy might be right, if they're that early you might have to be running it on Beta kit.

    Open the *Xex or *exe in any hex Editor, if it says XEX1, It will work on Beta Kits ONLY.


    Updated post:

    There's more to the executables.
    It all narrows down to 3 types, identifiable by their file extension and/or the ASCII string at the beginning of the file:

    Alpha:
    *exe/MZ and says "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" when opened in any Hex Editor.

    Beta1 (pre-1888.0):
    *exe/XEX1 or *exe/XEX-

    Beta2/Final:
    *xex/XEX2
