Why is there no emulator?
>>
because no one gives a fuck about the xbox
>>
Once Microsoft put Halo on the PC natively there was no reason to make one.
>>
Too hard.

The original Xbox had really strange and unorthodox architecture that has next to no documentation detailing it.

As I understand it anyway.
>>
>>344668474

It's just a fucking PC in a box.
>>
no one gives a shit about it to bother
>>
>>344668191
But how else will I play Kingdom Under Fire that doesn't involve korean MMOs

nigga what? the xbox literally just used pc parts
>>
>>344666697
No one cares it was that bad
>>
>>344666697
Just buy it, it's cheap and moddable.
>>
>>344668572
with dozens of undocumented modifications.
>>
>>344668572
Didn't it use a special nvidia gpu that was undocumented?
>>
>>344668632
buy an xbox?
>>
>>344668665
well its true faggot, emulators get created when theres high demand for it. you think these people who create emulators are obligated to make one for every console?
>>
>>344668684
Then clearly I know fuck all.

I must be thinking of something else.

The Xbox should get an emulator. It has some good exclusives and it had the best version of multiplat titles.
>>
>>344668793
I'd rather buy a better reply. Screw getting another old ass xbox. I don't even want the new one.
>>
>>344668901
They just can't twat
>>
>>344669172
thats what they said about the ps2 and look what happened to that dipshit
>>
>>344669010
Then you probably can't play Kingdom Under Fire. At least not for the forseeable future. It seems like the work to crack xbox emulation is beginning right now.
>>
>>344669010
>can't even buy a Xbox for like $20 nowadays

Just move on then
>>
>>344669010
Then you're limiting your choices.

An Xbox is generally pretty cheap. You could easily find one for 30 dollars. Mod it, download every xbox game, put other emulators on it.

It's honestly worth more to buy it than having an emulator for it. You can even play online through tunnel servers like xlink kai
>>
>you will NEVER play Steel Battalion or Otogi

A deal's a deal, anon. Uploading the money now.

>>344669258
Ps2 emulator still sucks
>>
>>344669432
and its still being worked on because theres interest for it
>>
>>344666697
The Xbox doesn't invoke the same kind of autism like Nintendo consoles.
>>
>>344669009
>>344668684
Iirc it had a really weird fucky version of directx that nobody knows what to do with
>>
>>344669385
I'll never play steel battalion because that controller is fucking expensive

>implying you can emulate +50,000 blocks
>>
>>344669547
And Xbox is way more powerful than PS2 which makes it harder to make
>>
>>344669762
>completely missing the point
>>
>>344669762

The PS2 hardware is much more nonstandard than the Xbox

Complexity is the issue, not power. That's why Dolphin works so much better than PCSX2.

>tfw you have a modded xbox with metal wolf chaos and a mame emulator
>>
>>344669762
thats not how it works retard
>>
How hard is it too find pata hard drives these days?
>>
Shouldn't all xboxes be modded by now? I remember the last chip I used in my store, the x-changer, it took like 15 mins tops to solder in and install xbmc.
>>
>>344669762
holy fuck how are you so dumb?
your are VERY bad at arguing
you COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT

Just buy one. I find them all the time at Goodwill's/Thrift Stores for $10 or less. I've got so many I could probably build a little fort out of them.
>>
>>344670228

You don't even need to solder a chip m8
>>
If Microsoft can get a 360 emulator to work on the potato that is the Xbox One, shouldn't a 360 emulator be able to work on really low end PCs?
>>
>>344670359
So you mean to say you have three of them?
>>
>>344666697
It's too big

Go take a logic class at high school or your community college. Fuck, you're embarrassing.

There are emulators for hardware weaker than Xbox, how have you not realized this
>>
there are a few that are in development. Emulators are hard to write. Reverse engineering a system as complex as the xbox is extremely difficult.
Microsoft has their emulators (which aren't perfect btw, ever try playing JSRF on them?) because they know exactly how things work. They designed it.
>>
oh no, we're missing out on all these exclusives such as voodoo vince, binx the cat, plosion man err...
>>
>>344666697

The CPU side is easy to emulate, it's literally an old Pentium. What is blocking everything is one one knows how to emulate the GPU, which is some really ol Nvidia chip and Nvidia certainly isn't giving out documentation on it. I think BIOS and other areas have also caught up so yeah, blame Nvidia.
>>
>>344670710
thats irrelevant when there's a 360 emulator
>>
>>344668684
Mostly, yes.

various extremely important bits (like the graphics card) are custom though, so nothing is playable since no one has bothered to spend time figuring that shit out
you can't emulate a game console to play games on it if video doesn't work
>>
>>344671361
There is a Xbox emulator too except its shit same for 360
>>
>>344671169
You are quite obviously underage and/or retarded
>>
>>344671442
difference is that their are people working on the 360 emulator
>>
>>344671597
>people

Person. There is a person working on 360. There are people working on PS3 though.
>>
>>344670432
Only if they released the source code, which nobody but Microsoft has
>>
>hurr hurr no games

Still the only good version of Ninja Gaiden to date.

NG Black.

Sigma has half the body count.
>>
>>344671703
person, people, whatever my point still stands
>>
>>344670710
you are STILL missing the point.
you have learned nothing.
and i am disappointing anon
>>
>>344669762
by that logic, a Gamecube emulator shouldn't exist
