The Xbox has barely enough power to emulate a PSX or N64, what makes you think it can do the Cube, DC, or PS2? A Saturn emulator is nigh impossible until somone makes an open-source emu (the hacked Sega one doesn't count).
You must be, what, 12, 13 years old? Because apparently, you haven't played any of those 'old, shtty' games; alot of them are better than the crap they spew on the systems nowadays.
If you're going to post a question, post one that doesn't start with a flame.

i dont really see what his age has to do with anything, or his taste in games. im getting tired of the emu's also (especially for systems ive never heard) but its all good for the people that would actually use it or learn from programming the thing. i personally like playing a few older games, but im excited about the gens port so i can play sega cd games for the first time.

first off don't worry about my age, if I am smart enough to make a post then I deserve to be heard, otherwise there is no reason to have a board up. If you get PC-based PSX emulators then it should be a breeze to do it on the xbox, seeing as it has just as much power as a computer. ANyway, if I knew how to program I could make it work just fine. I'm just stating my opinion, you see - I didn't flame anyone, I just merely stated my opinion about the latest aray of emulators that have been released. A flame is what you just shot at me being only 12 or 13 years old when infact I'm no where near those ages, now this is a flame at you, you lost fool.

Wow u used array thats a fancy word

. Ur right ur no where near 12 or 13 isnt it more like 7. Dude u have no clue how emulation works and how this differs from emu's on the PC. And im stiill a teenager but man old games kick ass. Gotta love old classics . Also how did Nazis X loose you little bitch. U still have no clue what u r talkin about

well then explain why the psx can be emulated on the PC and not the xbox, since I don't know what I'm talking about how about you inform me...

it can be, its just there are no accelerated open source d3d rendering graphics plugins available. the pcsxbox emu is running, but its 100% software rendering, thus slow.

well let's see the xbox only has 64mbs ram while most computers have 128mb and up! Thats one main problem with creating emu's!

razorrifh · « **Reply #6 on:** April 20, 2003, 08:08:00 PM »

and the ps2 only has 32... of course it also doesnt have to emulate, because of the iop, but still... its possible. one day. did that x64 ever get released today? (not trying to start a flame war, just curious)

i'm gettin tired of seeing nothing but emulators being released everytime I look @ the XS homepage. This emulator, that emulator, they all basically do the same thing, bring back old sucky games. If your going to do a emulator why not a consol emulator of the latest generation (Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, PSX, PS2, GC) something people would be intrested in...

Know what I am tired of? I am tired of punks like you who put down people's hardwork with the Xbox. First, it was NexGen, now emulators? Even though I am not a Amiga gamer, I am glad people are busting their ass to do wonders with the Xbox.

The ONLY reason I ever go to the mainpage, is to see if an emulator I use was updated!

Emulators are awesome. Instead of having tens of games, I've got thousands of games on one (semi-)portable machine.

The age reference that someone made does have some legitimacy. It's not a shot at your intelligence, but rather is just pointing out how you easy it is for you to relate to those games. If you had grown up playing 2D games with very simple graphics, it would be perhaps easier to enjoy them today. Just like, in 10 years, you may be able to pick up Halo and have a good time, while some other kid whose first system was an Xbox 4 wouldn't appreciatte it or understand the nostalgia.

Gens X (XPort) was wonderful, one of the only emus besides Nester X I actually USE for Xbox. :-)

In the above post, I meant to say 3rd-Generation Consol. But the EDIT page was messed up and it didn't allow me to properly submit the fixxed version so... (trashy invision boards)

To clairify, I wasn't knocking your intelligence; I have no basis to do so. The age reference was meant to point out that you didn't grow up playing all of those classic games, and therefore, you do not have an appreciation for the emulators.
And how can one lose when responding to a post? This isn't a contest or a war.

you don't like reading about emulators on the front page? Well don't read about them then, it's that easy. Personally i like playing all these old classics on my xbox, and having the developers work on fixing the bugs, and updating them with a new GUI or just fixing a minor glitch, but if you don't like it that's your problem i guess? Find something else to read til the emu headlines are done, I don't know do whatever I guess

......and for all you people who are developing emulators/applications for the Xbox, your are doing a brilliant job, don't let the ignorant people spoil it for the rest.
