As the XBox 360 uses an emulator to run XBox 1 games, is it possible to hack the emulator and modify it a bit so it would work on a desktop PC? I ask because the 360 probably has similar hardware to the PC.
TheCreator said:would it be difficult to port it then, or is that again a case of no-one knowing trhe 360 programming?
I don't know how old this topic is but Microsoft is already way ahead of the game on this. Looking for a 360 emulator? Microsoft's answer is: we will sell you one called Windows Vista. They have already stated their future games will run in Vista as well (though they may be ports). Knowing Microsoft there will be minimal code changes (leaving most of the work to DirectX or what have you) and hackers will have their chance then. I don't know any hacking group that would try to beat MS to the punch. When they open this can of worms I'm sure there will be a backdoor or two. If not, you can just get your hands on a copy of vista and play what they offer ya on the OS. I for one will settle for playing my 360 on my media center PC with a kb and mouse til then (wireless logitech USB).
Hopefully they will include Xbox1 backward compatibility when they launch their gaming plans on Vista to get people into using thier PCs for console games.
