Someone would’ve had to have captured the patches that were downloaded and mapped over the cartridge code. Unless some of the game hackers kept copies and made them available, emulation won’t work.
- jchw 7y agoYes, that's a problem. My guess is that folks will just have to create new patches from scratch to make it work. The old patches, or probably the most of them, might be lost forever unless some entity or former Xband engineer happens to have them. Guess you never know when a backup disk could turn up. The other reply to me points out that a service called retro.live is successfully getting Xband all the way into games. Not sure what they are doing, but I am guessing they must be creating new patches, since they look a bit buggy right now. (Video is linked above.)
