Changes

'''Cxbx''' was first released as a proof of concept in August of 2002. This early version was capable of emulating various lighting effects from the Xbox development kit (xdk) "graphics tutorials". Turok Evolution was the only playable retail game on the original '''Cxbx''' emulator that Caustik left off from. Caustik's work on '''Cxbx''' ended in probably 2004, although, in September 2007, he had a since-disappeared blog report that covered the emulator in small detail. In 2008, another contributor nicknamed '[https://surr.no/cxbx-ds/ dstien]' was shown to have made several patches that got some games to progress better in '''Cxbx''' like making ''Futurama'' playable. Caustik's last news update on his '''Cxbx''' website, that covered blueshogun96's progress work on another '''Cxbx''' branch, was uploaded on November 2009. Independent contributor [http://shogun3d-cxbx.blogspot.com/ blueshogun96] was known to have started improving his fork(s) of '''Cxbx''' from 2008, and have created many blog posts detailing the progress from 2009 up to 2015. His [http://shogun3d-cxbx.blogspot.com/2009/11/cxbx-compatibility-list-updated.html 2012 compatibility list] showed that 5 Xbox games were playable, but, somehow, the playable games count dropped down to just two in his [http://shogun3d-cxbx.blogspot.com/2014/06/xqemu-compatibility-list-updated-june.html 2015 compatibility list] - these two playable games were: ''Panzer Dragoon'' and ''Smashing Drive''.
