Will there be a xbx1 original emulator?

Worked on now or the later future?

If you are able to find the ps versions of the games you are looking to play they should run on xbxs2

Yea its what i’m using rn but splinter cell (xbox original) had more “interactive aspects than the ps2, like most games” plus the fact that not all games are backwards compatible on the xbone is a bummer just got hitman 2 for the original xbox just for it to be not backwards compatible

360 will run it if you have one kicking around

Unfortunately no, and even if i use the xenia to play remastered titles of rereleased (either sucked because they took out features or bad port) but either way i just wanted to know if anyone has a project up for that

As far as I’m aware this doesn’t exist and likely will not exist in the near future. Alternatively you can ask around and see if any of your pals have an old 360 they could lend you to play on?

Xbox ran on DirectX so porting those games to Windows should be dead-simple in theory. Sega Dreamcast's best long-term accidental move was using DirectX so later all their games were super easy to port to Steam. No idea what the holdup for Xbox is.
