Xbox 360 emulator!

I have read about a Xbox 360 emulator on pc where you can play a xbox game on the pc with a xbox disc in your disc drive using a USB xbox controller and all you need to do is to run a programme or something. Can anyone confirm this? Please give me a FAQ for it if you know. Rep to the person who came up with solution. (which achuly works) Or even use ripped Xbox 360 roms.

 

As far as I know, there are no 360 emulators yet, and probably won't be for a couple of years. Emulating a console takes a lot of processing power, and I doubt PC's are fast enough for that yet.

The original XBox is probably a different matter.

 

They've just now gotten to the point where the N64, PSX, and Saturn can be emulated STABLY (there have been working N64 and PSX emulators around for a while, but they've been pretty unstable). I'd say even an original Xbox emulator is a little while off...especially since MS burns the Xbox discs in such a way that they are unreadable on a standard PC.

 

(Like Jalf and Eleison said) There wont be a viable Xbox 360 emulator for a few years. Even considering that the Xbox 360 core is coded in a form similar to PC, an emulator still has to do a crap load of work to get the game running normally. Have you have tried playing a 3D game through Emulation like Bootcamp? Its slooooowww.

The only consoles working well through emulation are the SNES and Sega Genesis.

Yeah...maybe when we've got 8 cores per processor running at double speed per core...

 

I wouldn't agree with that. I've used N64 and PSX emulators quite extensively for years, and have never had any stability problems.
I've also experimented a bit with PS2 and GameCube emulators, and those are the unstable ones.

 

It sort of makes sense.

Have you tried Xbox emulators?

I fully expect XBOX 360 emulators to actually show up within the next couple of years, but it'll be a VERY long time till you will see a Cell processor (stuff in the PS3) emulated that well on an x86 (current processors).

 

If your holding your breath a way to play 360 games without the console, I wouldn't hold your breath. Emulation takes a long time. Even though a PC appears more powerful then a console on paper, getting all of those PC parts to "act" as a console is a whole different can of beans.

 

There is a working PS2 emulator out there and that is the most advanced gaming emulated yet. It even requires a very capable PC to run it.

Emulating next gen consoles is out of the question at the moment.

 

You wont see newer console emulators for a long time until the pc processing power catches up. It takes a LOT more power than the original hardware to run an emulator.

 

So we have come to a solution where we need to wait for AGES!lol So is there any way to link a xbox360 to a laptop so you can play via a screen on the laptop?

 

The PS2 emulators are out there but they are very hard to get working and you need multiple individual game patches and at least a 7900/8800 to get a game like FFX working smoothly.

 

@Alston251:

Sure. It's called a TV Tuner

 

Except with a normal TV Tuner the visual delay will usually make a game completely unplayable.

I think there are some specialty TV Tuners that are designed to work with consoles, but I've never seen one.

 

About emulators.

Fully stable and working PSX and N64 emulators have been around for 7 years.
PS2 emulators is very stable with most of the games, but some games (like Burnout series) require a beastly machine.

I played with my old lappy Core Duo 1.66Ghz, X200 games like Final Fantasy X with 15-20fps.
Now with my Vostro I get around 30-40 fps, rarely any slowdowns.

 

A huge problem in emulating the 360 is that the CPU is a triple core PowerPC CPU. That doesn't make for easy emulation and good performance. I think more than a few years.
Even DS emulation is pretty taxing, though that can be because of early emulation version.

 

There are nearly fully stable DS emulators on PC aswell, only very few games have problems.
Theres even a DS emulator on PSP, most of the roms work with 60% of speed.

 

Oh. I tried it in like november. Didn't quite work properly, so I bought a DS.

 

I seen my dorm-mate using a TV tuner thing with a PS2. It dosen't seems to have any delays. Well i personally can't ask him cauz he left the skool...... lol
Back on topic, are there some uber good Tv tuners for laptops especiaaly for gaming on consouls?

 

fwiw, with the most advanced emulators like the ps2 emulator, you don't need an 8800 gpu. you need a modern gpu like a 6600 gt or above, and then the fastest processor you can find. core 2 duo or core 2 quadro is a good place to be.

 

Hey talking about 3 core PowerPC CPU... doesnt AMD now have triple core?

 

my xbox 360 on my tv tuner is delayed about 10 seconds

 

ouch.... as for emulator, i have a few N64 emulators, and while most games work well, starfox and a few others lag unbearably, even on my new laptop.

 

OH GOD NOT STARFOX 64!
*tears*

Don't you guys miss the days when getting a videogame was like going to Disneyland?

 

Starfox was pretty smooth on my old comp. (with xp and project64, and when I say old, I mean 2.4 p4+ radeon 9200 se ). Couple of glitches here and there. Now mario tennis, thats a game that just never seemed to work-too many graphical glitches.

 

there was actually a xbox 360 emulator created but was taken down due to microsoft. even the news links were deleted a few hours after it was figured out

 

Would there be any chances that some sites or someone will surrvive? And which would be able to share with us?

 

I would take something like that "emulator" with a grain of salt. With all of the emulators out there, none of the companies have ever been able to issue a takedown (even the Saturn emulators, that actually require you to use a Saturn BIOS). I have a feeling Microsoft would be more interested in taking down things like Xbox Softmod tutorials/software, and/or the software that actually allows you to make backups of Xbox games.

In the scheme of things, emulation costs them a lot less than piracy.

My suspicion is that this "emulator" and its subsequent takedown was nothing more than a publicity stunt.

 

Or it might be the HD-DVD emulator. you get that one a lot if you google Xbox 360 emulator.

 

Word, PS2 emulators require dual cores, and those aren't even running at 40% stability, so it'll be a while.

No computer to date could run an xbox 360 emulator with a decent res anyways.

 

I second that

I tried the PS2 emulator, every game i tried was unplayable

I think we will see xbox360 emulator when intel releases 10x cores PC

 

i used ps2 emulaotr, tweak it. and i get 30-35fps but it runs alittle slow. on my 1.5ghz c2d, 8600m gs. (i havent tried it recently after i oc the 8600) 4gb ram,

on my desktop p4 2.8ghz, 1gb ram, and my powerful craphics card the nvidia fx5200 gets the 25-30 fps. so you need a powerful cpu to run it

edit: sorry forget to mention the games
ff12: 30-35
naruto: 20
ff10x2: 25

 

I got around 50-60 fps when I tried it, but the games didn't work, and it was just so unstable.

 

In response to the original thread, considering the fact that I've never seen any game run better on ANY PC as its Xbox 360 version, and also considering the amount of work emulators have to do, my suggestion is that you try reposting in about 5 Years time.

 

what was FF12 like? stable? playable?

 

There isn't even a good workin emulator for the original Xbox, Theres only 1 really & it only plays Halo.

 

Just play the game on your Xbox 360 if you already own them.

 

The ATi TV Tuner is made for consoles to be connected to your PC, according to ATi, no lag exists.

 

yes it playable but the movie were cracking and alittle slow

 

Yeah CPU is the most important thing. PCSX2 has a 64bits version, and it runs way better from what I read.

 

well playable?
how bad were the movies?
where did you get them from?

 

yeah but the x64 does have alot of plugins

 

1. yes it was well playable
2. not to bad every 3secs it teared
3. idk what you mean

 

does idk mean

 

idk: i dont know

 

@OP: Geez, with the exclamation mark at the end of your thread title I figured you actually found one .

Oh, and a friend of mine uses an Adaptec Gamebridge to play PS2 games on a laptop screen, and it works decent.

 

I've NEVER EVER found ANY PS2 emulator that actually worked !!!!!!!!!

And when ppl say they've played a nice and easy ps2 game on their PCs... the first thing that comes up to my mind is: damn you f.. liar!!!

Of course I could be wrong... but I won't change my mind without proves... which means I'd like to see the link to ONE SINGLE PS2 emulator that works!

I'm sick of ppl telling how they can already emulate a ps2 when they're faaaarrr from doing that (as there aren't any reliable software for that!).

 

lol dondahah88 either you really didn't know what he meant or that was the best compliance with forum rules i've ever seen

 

where did ya get the emulator and roms?

i have loads of PS1 games that i would love to play on my laptop when i get it, wheres the best place to get them?

 

thank you

romhustler.net/
for everything except ps2 and new geen consolses

 

lol wut?

The emulator itself is freeware and legal, get it over here : www.pcsx2.net
But the BIOS isn't. I can't tell you where to get that. (Just Google)
