Hello
Why is it so hard to emulate a XBOX as it is basically a PC, A slow one at that. But we can emulate N64 and PS2 that use data thats actually impossible for a X86 CPU to process in one peace even after its converted it to X86 code!

Because it's not exactly a PC, some of the legacy hardware is undocumented, and there are internal software issues such as the BIOS which also need to be emulated. It's not impossible, it's being done, but it's not that easy.
Thank you
And no, we can't emulate PS2 yet. If we will, that will be cool, but than we will want to emulate PS3.
"How about a magic trick?"
yup it gose on and on
Just think about it! PS2 is a 4 years old console. And we can't emulate it??!! What will happen with Xbox 2? We can't gonna emulate it till 10 years after, or what?

It's probably easier to emulate.
Its odd, the PS1 was relatively easy to emulate as its CPU code was relatively strait forward to interpret in to X86 code, also the GPU was reactively basic and easy to get a PC GPU chip to do the same work and even if it could not do it all some was just passed on to the CPU, even the sound not that hard, also people just ripped the BIOS to make life easy. So all in all the PSX is easy
Unlike the N64 that is a relatively odd system and to run any of the games that were coded to utilize the full 64bit power of the system you have to have a CPU with SSE to map the R4300 register to the SSE stack and many other odd tricks like that. Even the GPU is relatively odd and in many situation companies like Rare were coding the system at very low levels. There is still no fully working N64 emulator out even now.
So if we go by this the Xbox should be relatively easy to emulate as the CPU is just a Celeron and the GPU is a old GF chip. I think it was something close to GF3 but missing the odd bit like the GF2 but also with more pipelines like the GF4. I would like to know the actual problems they are encountering.
What is the best Xbox emulators out? I think ill have to email them and offer a hand, My English may be terrible but perhaps I will finally get to utilize something I learnt at when I was at university.
Mine english is terrible too!
The best emulator is Xeon, but I was saying, I've been read about X-box Emulator 1.00. I've got that, but I never tryed it. But if you want to try it, I can send it to you in e-mail.

Hello
Thank you but I already have it, No DVD player though, Do you have the source code to?Also is it possible to get in contacted with the developers at all?
Thank you
