for your information the xbox emulator(cxbx) is still being worked on by a guy called shadow_tj.

he needs anyboy's help to make a decent XBOX emulator. there are still some ppl helping him but it's not enough. a heavy project or projects like this takes more than a hanful of ppl. if we just sit back and go "come on. there will be some emulators in very very far future, there's no need we bother ourselves searching or doing sth about how to make a emulator for a powerful console". if we're supposed to believe in your comment and do nothing about emulation world, I bet you there will be NO emulators at all.

Who says that people are not allowed to TRY to emulate the 360? Nobody. But I'll say this...it would be in vein. The computer you would have to build to do the job would cost FAR FAR more than just buying a 360.
Ok. this one is very easy to answer. let's go back to those days where there wasn't any PS2 emulator. It was very hard to imagine "will there be any PS2 emu ?" take the PCSX2 0.9. this version was compatible with most of the games and it was amazing to see how this emulator was progressing but there was a problem. speed issue. we could not play games at a reasonable framerate but with the advent of Dual Core CPUs it solved the problem and now you can enjoy playing some decent ps2 games on your PC even better than a real PS2.
Do not forget. TECHNOLOGY IS ALWAY HEADING FORWARD. TODAY'S TECHOLOGY IS BETTER THAN YESTERDAY'S.
