When emulating "OpenBORX - Beats of Rage for XBox v4" an Unknown format is encountered.

This happened a lot in Dxbx too. We're still copying over fixes from there, perhaps one of these could fix this message, don't know for sure.

This is especially weird because on the Xbox, the highest D3DFMT in the XDK is 0x41. Perhaps a look in the source code of OpenBORX is in order.

It seems that the source does contain some common xbox headers and source, but when I skimmed all the headers, I see no headers that have formats that resolve to 0x50 (or any of the D3DFMTs), odd, and i cannot seem to find any other source for the project with google.

Update: Bingo!

m_d3dpp.BackBufferWidth                 = 640;
m_d3dpp.BackBufferHeight                = 480;
m_d3dpp.BackBufferFormat                = D3DFMT_LIN_R5G6B5 ;
m_d3dpp.Flags                           = 0;
m_d3dpp.BackBufferCount         = 1;
m_d3dpp.EnableAutoDepthStencil      = TRUE;
m_d3dpp.AutoDepthStencilFormat          = D3DFMT_D16;
m_d3dpp.SwapEffect                      = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
m_d3dpp.FullScreen_PresentationInterval = D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_DEFAULT;
m_d3dpp.MultiSampleType         = D3DMULTISAMPLE_NONE;

AutoDepthStencilFormat: = 0x00000050 != 0x0000002C (D3DFMT_D16) in D3D8Types.h

In https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded/commit/853eea7bdbe43d169c5ccdbb7fcf860fb107b7df the title doesn't crash, it just shows an infinite black screen with no audio/video whatsoever. KrnlDebug.txt Xbe.txt For @CakeLancelot: I also uploaded the dump for aerox2, you can check it out
