xbased 1.0.12

1.0.12 (2026-11)

New

• Import from xemu (Memory, Y): xemu's game saves (its hard disk's E:
  UDATA and TDATA) copied into xbased and re-signed, so games accept them.
  Copied as they were, a game found them damaged: xemu's console signs
  saves with its own keys (from its BIOS and EEPROM), xbased with its own.
  xemu's settings (xemu.toml) are found where xemu keeps them, or chosen;
  its BIOS, boot ROM, EEPROM and qcow2 or raw hard disk image are only read.
  Saves whose game isn't in the library are copied but not re-signed: add
  the game and import again. xemu_import.log beside xbased lists each file.
• Add a game file (Settings, below the game folders, or Y in an empty
  Games screen): a
  disc image the folder scan doesn't find (another extension, another
  place) added on its own; it stays in the library.

Fixes

• Halo: Combat Evolved: starting a campaign level closed the game back to
  xbased's menu. Halo lays out its game state and tags from 0x61000 to past
  16 MiB, and D3D's second page of visibility-test results has to be below
  16 MiB: the kernel kept 256 KiB of low memory it doesn't use (the Xbox
  kernel lets its start-up memory go), none was left, and the game read
  through the page it didn't get.
• Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City: a black screen at start. Their timer
  reads save the registers with the 16-bit PUSHA/POPA, which stopped the
  game; they run now.
• Quit from the in-game menu, and a game closing itself (a title opening
  the Xbox dashboard), could leave a black full-screen window that had to
  be closed by force: the process now ends at once, without waiting on the
  graphics, gamepad and audio drivers' shutdown.
• A game opening the Xbox dashboard's Xbox Live account page (creating or
  recovering an account) with no dashboard installed now says so instead
  of just closing.

Dashboard

• Long messages and questions wrap over several lines instead of being cut.
