Why do we have PS2 emulation, but not Xbox emulation yet?
>>
Probably because the most popular Xbox Hueg games have a PC port that any modern toaster can run. That´s a shame, Xbox Hueg had a lot hidden gems and the emulation scene doesn´t care about them.
>>
>>266239956
Because there are only about three fucking exclusives that are worth playing. Healthy, gregarious, successful people don't give a fuck.

you'd have to reverse-engineer it without fucking up the console. nobody in the emulation scene has that many resources. lack of access to documentation is a bitch

>>
>>266241187

true, but I'd imagine SOMEONE out there has the time to do it. If we have people who have time on their hands to make porn in Source Film Maker, there's gotta be one person who wants to emulate an Xbox
>>
there were people who said there was no point in getting the xbox when it launched because they would just download the emulator instead.

because... its basically a pc, right? right?

Because of the infrastructure of hte system.

Same reason we don't have a PS3 emulator doing anything yet, but the 360 emulator already has full rendering.

As I say everytime, any console can be emulated -all it will take is for the community to pay me $5000 to map the architecture with my electron microscope.

Okay so i'll probably step on some toes but what the fuck was so special about black? why are the 80 gorillion other ports since not as good? Why black over the original? I never had it, I skipped straight from the original to two, and apparently missed out on a masterpiece.
>>
XQEMU/CXBX is about as close as anyone got from what I've seen.

There were some nice exclusives for the xbox, (Otogi and Otogi 2 for example), but not many compared to the PS2 or Gamecube.

I've always wondered if anyone ever tried to look into and reverse engineer the 360's xbox emulator. (That had quite good compatibility. It's a shame Microsoft abandoned it)
>>
>>266242363
Black is more difficult, has more weapons, a cool sidemode, couple extra bosses, costumes, better camera, and is all around a more polished and precise game.
>>
>>266242113
Won't happen. You need notably more power to emulate a system because your power and resources are diverted to other things.

They'll probably optimize it a bit more before they drop it though. Frankly i'm surprised they've continued work on it after all the shit the team put each other through.

Not happening, you're basically suggesting emulating a hideously complex PowerPC based system to emulate a somewhat less complex x86 system on it

Haha. Well, that's not exactly what I meant.
I meant more so, could the emulator be improved and patched back into the 360.

Or at least understand how the 360 translates it all.

Because I'm a programmer who programs the Xbox emulator and it's a piece of shit documented thing, and for proper emulation, there's a ton of functions that don't line up with PC ones. And no fucking documentation.

Yes, we can't figure out how to emulate a lot of the functions to get games working. Fucking shaders.

By the way, it's nothing like a PC, you assholes. God, I'm tiring of explaining myself in every thread about this.
>>
>>266245359
Can't you just use an older PC? Maybe the new ones can't into xbox.
>>
>>266241357
What about that fucking Mech game with the bespoke controls? Or Dead or Alive 3?
>>
>>266245502
Actually, that's been tested too. I believe it was on XP where we had the most success. Nobody really knows why, though. Still, the fact that we can't figure out where half of the registers, functions, and shaders are supposed to be emulated, checked, and all that yet is there, and an older PC won't help.
>>
>>266239956
I don't know honestly. The xbox had the best version of a lot of games and some really interesting exclusives too.

Actually releasing Steel Battalion was really a fucking ballsy move, a MSRP $200 for the game and a controller that only works with one game only? Totally worth it, I'd fucking love to own it myself. Too bad the Ebay prices are some prime bullshit and I'm already strapped for cash

It's not worth bothering with. Xbox barely had any exclusives that didn't eventually end up on PC. The only exclusives that are really worth giving a shit about are some of the Japanese exclusives.

And ironically, one of the main reasons people buy the original Xbox today is because it's perfect for running emulators. Soft modding it is even easier than the PS2.
>>
For the past few years I and a small group of my associates have been attempting to form the foundations for the creation of a working Playstation 3 emulator. The point we are at right now shows promise, however it will still be a few more years before we are ready to release our project to the public. While I cannot go into specifics at the moment, I can give you a rough ETA of around 6-8 years at this rate.
>>
>>266246413
A lot of people have said the Steel Battalion controller would be perfect for Star Citizen, since it has two joystick, a throttle, pedals and a shitton of buttons. There are even hacked PC drivers for it. Like you said though, it costs more than a PS4 on eBay, which is a damn shame.

And seriously, what the hell was up with making a new Steel Battalion and then making it Kinect exclusive? It was the exact opposite of everything that made the original SB cool, and it ended up being a massive piece of shit. They could have released an updated version of the controller and people would be all over that shit.

How about getting a $10 Xbox Hueg from goodwill or a garage sale, then just pirating all the games.

Haha, I know what you mean. I saw it once when I saw there was a set of 5.1 surround sound speakers someone made once for the Xbox hueg that had a digital input and I wanted them specifically for vidya. On a hunt for peripherals for the beast I saw this and thought it was the most hideous thing I'd ever seen.

I had to have it.

It's basically a plastic box with drawers on the middle section for games, and a cupboard like thing at the bottom for controllers etc. and the console sits on top.

I was originally going to buy the TFT screen someone made too but never got round to it. My plan is to turn it into a server for mediabrowser in the living room.

>>266249529
I've wanted to play that game for so long. Why do the Japs have to fuck us over? The game had English voice acting for fuck's sake.
>>
>>266249398

It's not so much the exclusives so much as being able to output the xbox in HD with component cables and, if you hack it, turn off the horrible Vaseline filter they added to pass for anti aliasing.

Xbox has less than 900 games, the few ones worth run on other platforms
Like Halo, or have been remade
Also, the Xbox, even though a computer, uses a obscure undocumented Nvidia GPU and DSP, no one knows what the fuck goes on with those, or what they even do, they have loads of weird instructions only used in the Xbox
Though we do have like two emulators, one of them is able to run Halo up to the title screen

People have made emulators for far more pointless systems.

Admittedly most were older and more simple
>>
>>266241930
>forgetting Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Otogi, Blinx, Midtown Madness 3, Kung Fu Chaos, etc
Yes, etc, because there are more little gems I dont recall right now. Also, the Xbox had the best multiplat games or versions of some like Shenmue 2 or that GTA 3 & VC(custom radio was pretty cool).
Just JSRF is that thing that many want, the HD is taking its time and will probably be an exclusive Bone live thing.

>>266250216
Well yeah, of course people would do emulators for more obscure systems if they are simple enough. Xbox is essentially a PC which means it would take a lot more work to get games on it to be playable, and since there aren't many exclusive games for it, there's not much incentive to bother with emulating it.

There were a couple of really good Sega games on Xbox that I wanted back in the day, but I am just holding out for them to get HD rereleases. Either that or I'll just buy an Xbox from Goodwill for $15 next time I see one. The games are dirt cheap because it's not old enough for kids who bought it to be nostalgic about it.

Dreamcast > Xbox > GC > PS2. From 00 to 2008 it was a pretty good run full of fun. Now not that much. At least I still have a bunch of games to play from that era and the 90s.
>>266250651
One of the reasons I bought a Xbox was Sega. Specially JSRF, I really wanted that. Getting best multiplat versions was a great bonus, as at the time exclusive games like Splinter Cell, Fable, Jade Empire, or SCalibur 2.
There was a game I was pretty hype and never came out that was called B.C. So much potential on that shit

I really don't think this generation is that much worse than previous generations, it's just become a lot harder to actually find the good games amongst all the AAA trash, and /v/ doesn't seem to be making the effort.

The only real tragedies this gen was the death of Survival Horror and Stealth.
