XBox emulation question

[Holland Guy]

hey guys, just a question: how good is XBox emulation? and what's a good emu?

[yugiohmaster]

in a nutshell its lame and very incomplete- cheaper and easier to buy a real xbox soft-mod it and download the games.

yuiohmaster, you are not answer his question.

@holland Guy,

Yes, only Turok is playable at this time. Wait until 5 years at least perhaps if you want a few more games which should be playable later. They are working on it and the promise emulator is called: CXBX. It is only emulator that run Turok and playable at this time.

His quotes:

yeah, halo is making good progress. there are issues (probably simple swizzling problems) with textures; but other than that, halo is able to boot up very fast so it is mostly minor fixes to get the menu working really nicely. then i'll get it in-game and see what new fun there is to fix.

However, there is other newest emulator in the work called: Dxbx as well. It is not playable with any games yet but it is a promising.

You can play Halo on Xeon, but you'll have to deal with the severe bugs.

I'm sorry, but I don't see any mentions of Xeon in your above post.

[azoreseuropa]

Oh I didnt see the word Xeon. Sorry about that, lol.

Your PC usually has to much more powerful than the original console you are emulating and PC's haven't gotten that far yet for Xbox. Case and point would be PCSX 2 which requires a dual core running at 3 GHz and a powerful GPU. Xbox was twice as powerful as the PS2 so you probably need an i7 or something like that for Xbox emulation I would think.
