I hate the fact that Xbox One killed Xbox's momentum so much that people are dismissing or not recognizing some of the things that Xbox has going for it right now with Xbox GamePass and cloud gaming. This is a transitional generation, but Xbox is positioned a lot better than most people seem to understand if they only travel in the areas where console wars is the religion of the day again.
I've been replaying Halo 1 & 2 again and just remembering the infancy of console online gaming and how fun it was as compared today were its either absolute silence or mute worthy trash.
This emulator has brought me hours of fun. A huge thank you to the developers.
I also strongly recommend checking whether Insignia supports the games you're playing on Xemu. If it does, grab a retail dashboard hard disk image and try it out!
I think Insignia even recently added support for Halo 2, which is pretty huge.
The original Xbox was essentially a PC of the time running a heavily customized version of Windows. Does this emulate that kernel without using any Microsoft code?
kung fu chaos time! Such a great game, a little insensitive perhaps...glorious sofa multipleyer game though I kept that disk hoping they'd backwards compat it for many years
Is there some way to set to an alarm to let me know when Steel Battalion becomes playable?
That name had been taken... https://65site.de/emulator.php
With the Master Chief Collection on PC, I’d only use this to play Metal Arms and Mercenaries.
The first Xbox had a pretty lukewarm backlog.
I’ve been replaying the thing using xemu and it works very well.
Fun fact - Morrowind for the Xbox occasionally rebooted the whole console when running low on memory. A splash screen would remain displayed, so the user would have no idea this was happening. The Xbox only had 64MB of DDR1 RAM.
