360 Emulator?

So when do you think we could see a working 360 mod in the near future? I believe that it will probably take about 3 - 8 years a most for even a Beta version....

The Xbox 360 could be modded 4 months after its first release, believe it or not. I really doubt there will be an Xbox 360 emulator soon. Maybe in 5-10 years.

I'd say 7 - 10 for just a basic one that can just run a few commercial games at a decent rate

Considering how long the xbox has been around, and it stil doesnt have a emulator. I dout we wil even see a xbox360 emulator in the next 3 years, id give 6 years till we see some worthy development.

You wold need a VERY expensive computer to run it.

Agreed, You might also need a extremely good graphic card for the stunning graphics the 360 has.

Man, I think it would never be made unless a dedicated team with some great funding has the ability to work on this over a period of years. It took MS awhile to reverse engineer the XBOX emulator on the XBOX360 and all the games nearly work (and that's with a full team and staff). The sad thing about emulators is that as more systems grow more complicated and complex; it will be harder to create emulators for them.

It all depends on what you want from a 360 emulator. If you want one that runs homebrew and just emulates some framebuffer stuff, a 360 emu can be created right now. If you want one that plays commercial games (at all), then expect a good 3 years or so. Either way, for 360, it's best to use HLE and not emulate the hardware that doesn't need to be emulated like the GPU. It will be emulating the CPU and it's vector units that will slow you down.

another thing would be online support.I bought a 360 mainly for XboxLive. So far most of the 360 games are basically for XBL, for me single player is boring.

Yeah, mods aren't bad.

The really difficult hing would definitely be a complete emulator...that'd take forever.
