Test release for the Xbox 360 (SilentHill_Xbox360.zip), plus the latest original Xbox build (SilentHill_Xbox.zip, see the bottom).
Xbox 360
XDK build, default.xex, built from xbox360-port at 735c09a.
Install: extract the Silent Hill folder to wherever your homebrew launcher (xbGuard, Aurora, FreeStyle) finds apps, then put your Silent Hill (USA) .bin in Silent Hill\silenthill\. Launch default.xex under BadUpdate + XeUnshackle like any homebrew app. It also runs in Xenia Canary. README.txt lists the silenthill.cfg options.
What works
- Boot logos, intro FMV with audio, title screen, new game and loading saves
- The street cutscene with voice lines and subtitles, the street, the alley and the cafe
- Music (BGM), sound effects and XA voices
- Inventory, items and equipping the handgun
- True 16:9 at 720p in game (Hor+, like the PC port) with culling removed. Menus and 2D screens stay 4:3. Set
widescreen_mode = 0for 4:3. - Classic and TPS cameras, with PGXP optional
Known issues
- Frame-rate dips in busy cutscene shots and some street views. If they bother you, set
disable_culling = 0, which brings back the PSX visibility culling. - Alley lighter scene: the light sits a little away from Harry's hand, and the grey children's lighting and textures look off.
- Combat: the pistol white flash and the far-reaching knife are fixed in this build, but haven't been confirmed on hardware yet.
- Save point: Harry could still move while the first save message was showing (not re-tested).
- Saves from earlier test builds lost items to an inventory bug. The handgun is recovered on load; anything else in those saves is gone.
- World textures can look a bit flat or dark compared to the PC port. In TPS with PGXP, a wall right beside the camera can streak for a frame.
- Memory-card saves aren't interchangeable with the PC port.
Screenshots (Xenia)
Please report problems with the silenthill_NNN.log the game writes next to default.xex.
Original Xbox
SilentHill_Xbox.zip holds default.xbe, the latest original Xbox build. It now has 2-player split screen: pick Multiplayer on the title screen.
Install: make a Silent Hill folder in your modded apps folder (for example E:\Apps\Silent Hill). Put default.xbe in it, along with your Silent Hill (USA) .bin, then launch it from any modded dashboard.
