I have sucessfully played the playstaion emu for the xbox. I created a .bin file of "Megaman X4" The size of the game is about 550.something megs, and It's on my xbox hdd, I must say, I'm really damn impressed!!!! But,,,(there's always a but) the movie files for psx games are called .str files. For some reason, the emu wouldn't play'em. I'll test more games that have .str movie files, to see if they play, but so far, this emu doesn't play movie files. Also, this I have totally gone crazy over, it can save. You can save where ever you are in any psx game, and load from that point, and, you can save to the memory card, aka (xbox hdd) I want to say thank you, to all who have made this dream come reality!!! You guys rock!!!! I'd say there would only have to be 1 or 2 updated releases for this, that just goes to show how damn good this first release is!!! Hope you all have fun, and hope I have helped in describing on the success of this emu.

I've never believed it was possible. I'm still not 100% convinced since I haven't seen it with my own eyes and you have only played 1 game with it but this sounds encouraging.

Here's is a list of games of which I tested, and played, all images ending in ".bin"

Alien Trilogy - 518,568kb
Megaman 8 - 408,481kb
Megaman X4 - 578,338kb
Megaman X5 - 569,292kb
Megaman X6 - 585,924kb
Mortal Kombat II - 56,816kb
Mortal Kombat Trilogy - 563,318kb

Now, this emu has a real hard time playing games over 600,000kb, such as THPS II, and NHL 2001 (those are the only big games I have) It's really sluggish and slow. Also, Alien Trilogy, and, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, have audio files, which I believe need to be converted to mp3 format, the way you would rip a sega cd game for the xbox. Also, My MGS collection has dissapeared, so I'm not sure how a double disc set will work with this emu. I also have been able to use gameshark codes with just about all of these games!!! Very easy, very quick. I'll keep messing around with this, and see what else I can find.

hmm, having trouble on getting the audio files to play. I tried ripping the audio files the way you would rip them off of sega cd. If anyone can figure this out, please let me know

Wow! Maybe with the next version it will be the butt kicker that everyone's been wanting.

i chedk the read me and it said the reason it wont read games off original cds is beacuse the emu is streaming them at 2.5k a second, if they work the bug out im sure thats how disc switching will work, although i think psxe had a special tab you could press to switch discs if you was playing off your hard drive
