emulator CXBX plays xbox game on pc

[kronas]

it may be a not so liked game such as turok evolution, but the team working behind an XBOX emulator for the PC have announced they have the game running on a P4 2.8ghz with a GEFORCE 5600FX with little problems......

Nice but why would you wont to emulate an XBOX. The XBOX is running a cut down version of Win2000 and so most of its best games come out on PC anyway

I agree with Defiant, it does seem a bit pointless to me.

Most decent XBox games come out on PC, & vice versa, so why bother emulating an XBox on a PC?

Also, PC DVDROM drives cannot read XBox discs*...so AFAIK the only way to run an XBox game on a PC with XBox emulator would be to use an illegal copy or image. You couldn't just stick a legit XBox game disc into your PC.


Still, it's quite a good achievement anyway, I guess.





* (well, there is a way round that, with one particular make & model of DVDROM drive, but it requires a firmware change, and may - I'm not sure - then have problems reading normal PC DVDROM discs)

It's not technically an emulator though...
