D3D8 to D3D 9 porting in progress.
Cxbx-Reloaded can boot into a handful of games, but don't expect much to run yet.
Historically, it patched Xbox executables (xbe's) to get them to run on the client (an [[High/Low_level_emulation|HLE]] approach); however, LLE-GPU support was introduced on April 1, 2018.<ref>https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/pull/1018</ref> As a result, many more titles can boot in-game now, albeit with many issues still. The team is gradually [https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/projects/2 porting] this emulator's render code from its old Direct3D 8 graphics over to Direct3D 9 including porting the pixel and vertex shaders to the Shader Model 2.X language or later. This allows the use of more instruction slots and registers, allowing Xbox pixel and vertex shaders to be more accurately converted to the host. This has potential to solve a massive amount of rendering issues, from broken polygons, missing animations, t-pose models to crashes.
* [https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/game-compatibility/issues Official compatibility page]<ref group=N name=version>The official website was once designed as a compatibility list with additional categories in digits, letters and xdk-derived symbol class numbers. It opened sometime around mid-2016 but then closed in early 2017 when xbes from pirated games were anonymously classified as playable despite that not being the case even on legitimate copies. Until a redesign is ready for the public, the link redirects to the GitHub repository.</ref>
