Works in Jaguar - fbc

Hi, Remember that a console (xbox ps2 gc etc) only has to display the maximum resolution that a TV can use. A computer's resolution of 640x480 is similar to an NTSC signal, and so a game running at 1024x768 resolution on your Mac monitor has around 4-5 times as many pixels to display than your xbox. Try playing Halo at 640x480 and you should see it run as smoothly as on the xbox (graphics processor and square vs round pixels notwithstanding)

Pixel shaders - ephica

The "alien fluorescent glowing colours" (and all the realistic lights on walls from the flash of gunfire, etc.) are created using a thing called pixel shaders. On the Xbox they were just hardcoded to work with it, since all Xboxes are the same. But since there are all different kinds of computers, you need a video card that is built to handle pixel shaders, such as an ATI Radeon 9600 or above. Unfortunately you can't upgrade the video card on a laptop :(.
