    I've heard of Cxbc and xeon. The last I heard of them (year or more ago?) was that they were still under development. Has anyone tried using them recently? With midtown madness 3? (designed for the original xbox).
    Just curious really, because I heard that emulators are very intense on system resources...

    To my knowledge, PS2 emulation has still not been perfected and needs a very powerful computer to run at playable speeds so I highly doubt if Gamecube and Xbox emulators are up to snuff. But the PS2 also had very complicated hardware that made designing games for it difficult and the Gamecube/Xbox may be easier to emulate?

    No, Nintendo GameCube is actually quite playable and so is Nintendo Wii.
    There are only handful games (less than 50) what run at full speed, but if you have a good cpu then you can enjoy these.

    You can even play Super Smash Bros Melee or Brawl with 25~60fps.

    Xbox emulators are (mostly) dead projects because there werent any exclusive games what made people want this emulator thus PS2 emulator got more attention and has around ~ 300 playable games at full speed. (But alot of them are shovelware or just bad games -_-)
