xemu, the open-source original Xbox emulator, released version 0.8.139 today. This update focuses on a critical fix for an NV2A VSH register carryover issue, which was leading to various graphical artifacts. The core fix, detailed as "Fix 1852 nv2a vsh cpu based register carryover," resolves problems such as black menu screens in titles including FIFA 2004, 2005, and Euro 2004. Additionally, it addresses incorrect shadow coloring seen in games like Blade II and texturing issues in American Chopper 2: Full Throttle. The xemu development team identified these bugs as stemming from unimplemented VSH register carryover, and the new release directly rectifies these visual inconsistencies across multiple affected titles.
