Interesting.
Maybe too little to late, but it sure would be nice if they would make it around to some of the 360 titles, (Fable II hint hint...)

I wonder if this is an official Xbox emulator for Windows PCs which runs games that you can buy from the Microsoft/Xbox Store. Or if the games have been fully recompiled to run on x86 systems. In any case, that sounds pretty good to me, especially if they add resolution and frame rate enhancements like on Xbox Series X consoles.

And yeah, bring on the Xbox 360 titles too!

360 games have a different cpu arch?

Fairly sure it was a PowerPC variant?

Wikipedia seems to think so?

Shouldn't really matter.

Xbox Series X has backward compatibility with both OG Xbox and Xbox 360 games. Not all of them, but a decent bunch. A modern PC should be able to do the same, since Series X hardware is x86 based.

Interestingly, an unofficial port of the 360 exclusive Gears of War 2 was also recently released: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/third-person-sh … uild-from-2008/

Oh sure! There's emulators for that already!

For example.

Fable II and III work fine! (Game engine is hardcapped at 30fps, but yeah.)

Can confirm! Have played!

However, 'native executable' is not a thing, because 'wrong cpu arch, games did squirrely things to the console, like unloading parts of the os kernel'

An emulator can deal with that. A recompile wont.

i'm sure the engineer who wrote the bc was already laid off by asha.
