Xbox emulator yet???

[The One]

Is there a working Xbox emulator yet?? I had the fake one, but I thought maybe someone had created an actual emulator.

Thanks

....No need to be rude. Just because the first one was a fake, doesn't mean it's not possible to make one.

It is rather unlikely that somebody will create a working xbox-emulator at the moment. The hardware-specs to run the emu have to be very high. NOBODY has a machine which can do that.

Btw, do you know how long it took to get a GOOD working version of bleem! or bleemcast ? There isn't even a ps2-emulator around allthough the ps2 is already 2-3 years old.

Someday there will be emus for xbox but I guess you have to be patient.

Afterall unlike the PSX the XBOX hardware is already closely based on a PC.

The nForce chipset is very similar to the XBOX hardware and I expect a motherboard with the nForce 415 chipset and a Geforce 3 or 4 graphics card would offer a system close to the XBOX on a hardware level.

I expect the main problem would be that the XBOX uses a processor based on intel hardware and the nForce motherboards are compatible with AMD processors.

I would not be surprised if someone is already working on this the question is just weather an emulator would run under Windows or possibly from a boot cd taking direct control of the PC's hardware.

Monty you are off on your post. P-III 733 is not so high up by today's standards and it may not be so steep of programing to emulate Xbox. The graphics are not that hot, if you ask me. P-4 or AMD 2 gig+ system easy to find or build. P-4 and 533 bus speeds now available. Get down with your bad self dog...

[Monty Burns]

So, you do really think that the cpu-speed of the machine you want to emulate can be simply transferred onto a pc?

Interesting.....

I know what is available today and I own it, but I doubt it will be enough. Maybe tomorrow everything is different.

[Johnny C63]

Can you explain further why you believe it is so difficult a task to emulate the Xbox. I understand it is merly speculation at this point and I do not mean disrespect to you but What is it about the system you feel it is so hard to emulate. It seems most other systems are emulated where the CPU speed is half of the today's normal.

Xbox Emulator, Ummm well let me think!! Im picking one up sumtime this week if thats any help! Ill find out what its like but it should work its been tested by an IT specialist!!

[The One]

Do you mean you are getting an emulator?? If so can you please let me know where to get it too. I think my system will be sufficient to run Xbox games

Windows 98
1300 MHZ Athlon
256 MB CAS2 ECC RAM
Toshiba SD-M1612 DVD-ROM
Visiontek NVIDIA Geforce4 Ti 4200/w 128 MB DDR RAM
Creative Ensonique Soundblaster
87 GB ATA/100 HD

This has to be one of the funniest threads i've read in a long time.
First, the ps2 processor runs at 294.912 MHz
Can you really imagine a p2 300 running final fantasy 10?

me neither. (Therefore the processor speed is not everything.)

secondly an xbox emulator will not be out for a damn long time yet. Fair enough, the innards are similar to that of a pc but that doesn't mean that a programmer can rip out a program that fast. Xbox programs are slowly being created (Thanks to the enigma and messia) so within time there is a chance but even my 1700 xp, 512 meg, geforce 4 couldn't do project gotham justice while havin to run an operating system in the background as well!

I don't believe that a X-Box will be as difficult to make as emulators for other consoles. I mean the spec of an X-BOX are PC based and similar equiptment ius use. Remember when the XBOX was first being devolped, the games were shown on actual PC's anyway using the same spec hardware. Also if they are going to make games that work on both PC and XBOX systems using the same copy then the programming language must be the same. Am I wrong?

[Bogus]

I guess it's impossible for the next few years.

Hi all,
To all who think that cause Xbox is based PC hardware, it's easy to create emulator, I would ask them why isn't there many games on linux ?
isn't it same hardware configuration ? :o)

If you wanna reply explaining about DirectX, and OS restrictions, please don't. No need.

[Blade64]

Technically IT is the easiest of the next gen consoles (And by that I mean Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube) Due to its singular processor the only huge differance is the fact that the X-Box doesn't read .dll files so wrappers need to be wrote - Believe it or not an X-Box emu is probably only as difficult as a Saturn Emu. So still a major task but not a total impossibility

if someone knows about an xbox emulator for the pc
pleas give me the web site

For you guys who are caught up in the emulator argument. What I can say is that the OS and HARDWARE side of the x-box/pc specs are pretty similar but taking into consideration emulators always require a faster speed normally to run the games smoothly.

Lets get TECHNICAL>>>
Lets calculate it out generally you need double the speed this is a recommended requirement emu spec, normally take and give a little but this is average so we are talking 733Mhz x2 = 1566Mhz today’s PC's we have 1800Mhz Clock speeds going on so really we have the tech to cope in this section next comes Graphics so we have G-Force nForce 415 chipset in the X-BOX motherboard or something close to that, so PC comes in with the Top Range G-force 4 example of this is a 128MB G-Force 4 Gainward 4600 yet again this is more than we need in hardware specs. So we meet all those requirements for the X-BOX emulator.

So what NEXT>>>
Well Programming side the X-BOX works in a similar version of OS as the PC, in fact (do not quote me on this) but I heard 2 sides first is that the X-BOX is based on a Windows 2000 OS the other says it is based on a Linux OS Regardless of if the system is Linux or Windows 2000 they are both compatible formats for the PC these systems are already largely available for PC anyway this suggests the to Create a Emulator should be no bigger deal creating it than any other emulator in fact this should be the easiest emulator to make out of all the consoles so it would not surprise me that someone is creating it and it will come out soon.

When will it come OUT>>>
Well I have no contact with anyone who is making one but on the creation process I estimate 7-9 months or sooner. So for you people who are waiting be patient and get a Good PC in the meanwhile.

PsychoE Over and Out

10x for the information man

b.t.w
do you have agood web site for ps2 emulators for the pc??
