Kawa-X Initial Release

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Jul 27th, 2003

The XBOX now sees a port of Kawaks, an arcade emulator supporting Capcom CPS1, CPS2, and SNK NeoGeo games. This release was ported by Mr. K, the creator of Kawaks. From the release notes, here are some features of Kawa-X:
  • CPS1, CPS2, NeoGeo support
  • Plenty of nice eye candy video filters
  • Redefinable controls
  • Can save screenshots
  • Savestates (8 slots per game)
  • You can play NeoGeo games either in arcade mode or in console mode
  • You can switch region (language settings) for every supported CPS2 game. For example, that means you can play the normally Japanese-only Mighty Pang in English if you want...


  • Supported Video Filters:
  • Regular, blurry non-filtered output
  • AdvanceMAME 2x scaling
  • A zoom 200% output named 2x (fast and sharp)
  • 2xSaI
  • Super2xSaI
  • SuperEagle
  • A RGB effect which I named Monitor Matrix that simulates low-res monitor output
There is no download available at ZD for this emulator, due to XBOX Development Kit usage. Search the normal places like IRC for downloads.

The Emulators for XBOX page has been updated to reflect this release
