Slowly but surely, Xbox 360 emulation is coming to the PC. Very slowly, for now. In a video uploaded earlier this week, Xenia, by Ben Vanik, is seen running Frogger 2, released on Xbox Live Arcade in 2008. Vanik explained that the game is running extremely slow because the emulator is working through a debug interpreter; Vanik says the emulator will run at normal speed as development continues. Go to 6:08 of the video to see the game. It's a proof of concept for something that's been four years in the making. But Vanik is not releasing any executable of the emulator.
'The goal of this project is to experiment, research, and educate on the topic of emulation of modern devices and operating systems,' Vanik writes. 'It is not for enabling illegal activity. All information is obtained via reverse engineering of legally purchased devices and games and information made public on the Internet.' Console emulation on PC has advanced to include the PlayStation 2 and Wii, but emulating the original Xbox has proven difficult. PS3 emulation is also in an embryonic stage, though a video from showed a project booting a commercial PS3 game. Source:.
Using this Xbox 360 Emulator you can now play your favourite Xbox 360 titles at 60fps without any hassle. BOX Emulator was in development for a long time, developers have finally ported the PowerPC x_kernel to x86/x64 versions so that we can run Xbox 360 games on Windows using this Xbox 360 Emulator. So the xbox 360 is not as 'specialized' as you guys are saying, it can do many things a PC can do, probably better. I understand there are plenty of things Mac OS X can do better, but xBox 360 is almost up there with it. And I'm sure it's only a matter of time before a group of hackers install OSX on an xBox 360.
