Virtua Cop 3 Details - LaunchBox Games Database

Overview

A version of Virtua Cop 3 was planned for the original Xbox upon which the Chihiro arcade hardware was based. However, the game's release was cancelled reportedly due to the costs of having to release a light gun for the system especially for the game. Users have been able to get the game to run on existing Xbox hardware with some modifications. Through means of soft-modding and installing an additional 64MB of RAM (increasing the total in the machine to 128MB), the game will launch and run. However, the game will not work with any Xbox Lightgun. As the original arcade game works with infrared LEDs and sensors, playing it on Xbox requires similar technology lightguns, such as the EMS Top Gun. However, using a lightgun will also require the expense of having to play the game without access to the aforementioned ES Mode, due to no Xbox compatible lightgun having a left trigger button needed in order to activate it. Only playing the game with a stock Xbox controller is required in order to use ES Mode while playing Virtua Cop 3 on the Xbox.
