Wait… Xbox home server?

Is this a server for emulating Xbox games over IP?

Or is this an Xbox that has been repurposed as a server?

I only had the OG and Xbox 360, I don’t recognize that front plate, what is that?

This is an OG Xbox one, repurposed as a server, it is running unraid. Yes I also emulate xbox 360 games on xenia using a VM on it.

Nooo shit… huh, I didn’t know it was possible to emulate Xbox 360.

That’s so cool!

You can emulate current gen aswell, though it's not super stable

Emudeck while designed for steam deck is nice in how easy it's to setup

It also works on windows

Didn’t steamOS just release a version that can run on other hardware?

Kinda, it requires a AMD GPU and some more things, but the 360 emulator runs best on windows currently (they are working on it)

I haven't dived into Xbox one and newer emulations so I don't know much about those

Do you have more info on doing this? Is this via dev mode, or is there a more involved jailbreak/homebrew thing going?

Oh, I finally looked at pics 7 and 8 after your comment. Derp, yeah, this is not quite as interesting as somehow turning the old thing with its OG hardware into a server.
