#XBOX ORIGINAL EMULATOR REDDIT HOW TO#
What is Xbox 360 emulator? How to use Xbox 360 emulator? Don't worry.

If you haven’t used Xbox 360 emulator, you must be confused about it.

Some may ask: is there a way to make Xbox360 games can be played directly on my computer? Luckily, Xbox 360 emulators are exactly you want.

Look, if unofficial Retroarch style apps can do it, albeit with them being extremely cumbersome and held back by limitations then im sure the tech wizards at Microsoft could do wonders.The games of Xbox 360 can only be played on game consoles and cannot be played on their Windows PC directly. Then, why not develop a Nintendo style Virtual Console, get some clever people to create proper emulators and then Xbox would finally live up to the One branding by being an all in one box. Problem solved, no more issues with companies sitting on their games just in case they wanna remaster them for an easy cash-grab (Capcom i'm looking at you) and game preservation is enabled at least for Xbox games. Here's an idea: Release an emulator app that works with any Xbox game that doesn't download anything from the store and simply copies the disc to the HD instead. You're sitting on a frankly incredible Xbox OG and 360 emulator that is completely hamstrung by its reliance on publishers playing nice to allow their games to be made BC. You literally just announced that the BC program is dead for all intents and purposes. That's nice Phil but in this particular instance you're all talk. I'm not sure where the legalities lie in regards to downloads and allowing people to download digital 360 games they purchased back in 2007 to say a series X version 3 down the road would be, but disks they could absolutely do. This isn't the same as cross platform play where he needs other people on board. Nobody is doing better then Microsoft, but Microsoft is not doing what he says should happen. He's not saying spend billions, more do it even though there won't a return on the investment). His plea here is from a preservation perspective and claiming it should be done regardless of cost(within reason. Sony didn't need permission from pubs to make the PS2 backwards compatible with PS1 etc.

There is nothing stopping Xbox from making a software update that adds 100% backwards compatibility with OG Xbox and 360 games other then themselves deciding it's not worth the money. The entire point was to find games that could generate sales worth the investment in supporting the BC(while also requiring the publishers support previous purchases and the disk versions as a condition of making the game backwards compatible and for sale on modern consoles). Their BC solution also included the games being sold digitally didn't it. Should a film studio be able to force your company to add a blacklist to your new player that prevents their films being played back? They might want to if it hurts their blu ray sales. Imagine you invent a new VHS player tomorrow that has magic 4K upscaling for all original VHS tapes.
#XBOX ORIGINAL EMULATOR REDDIT LICENSE#
If Microsoft release a new generation console that also includes old hardware for perfect backwards compatibility should the license owner be allowed to block their software on it?īoth of these cases are like software emulation, building the perfect cycle-accurate emulator means old software will continue to work, it is odd that the law cares about the implementation detail (hardware vs software) here. If Microsoft releases an Xbox with identical hardware but a 20% faster processor should a license holder be able to blacklist their already sold software on this newer version? At what point should a company that publishes software be allowed to say previously sold software should no longer work? The licensing issues around emulation, in particular backwards compatibility, are so odd to me.
