It's not known that the X360 hypervisor is a barrier to getting XBOX1 homebrew running under the backward compatibility emulator!
![cool.gif](style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
Why would an emulator need to use x360's hypervisor, isn't emulator a hypervisor in itself? It's an emulated system running within a program. Doing a hack within an emulator is as much a threat to the system as getting homebrew running in a NES emulator on a PC.
Hypervisor might be guarding the emulator itself, but not the stuff that's run in it. So I wouldn't call it quits yet.
Err, Isn't that exactly what I said.

Which reminds me, has anyone else found it odd that in some Xbox titles with game demos in them BC allows to run the demo-selection menu, which is a separate program, but refuses to load the actual demos because of the BC restrictions? There must be some sort of category where these demo loaders fall into, I'm pretty sure that BC team didn't intentionally code in all these OXM etc discs to work. Also some not-listed games have been reported to work, which is a bit odd as well.
Were going off topic here but....
I suspect you're right about categories. I think the XDK version the XBEs were built with, in conjunction with what XDK
libraries the XBE actually uses contribute to the categorization.
(The OXM demo launcher is very old, thin, unsophisticated, and built with an early XDK, the game demos it launches are often build with newer XDKs!)M$ has
every xbe. They probably wrote a tool to scan the XBEs for XDK version, libraries utilized (these details are exposed in the XBE file format), and possibly whether any
funny code (such as procedural textures, direct hardware access, etc.) exists in them (harder!).

As soon as theyre confident a specific XDK release of a library is supported by BC,
all those titles in that category are cleared for retest on X360. Those that
do contain '
advanced code ' probably fail, and are removed from the BC list (to be inspected when time allows). As is evident
here:
QUOTE
The original list was composed of 213 games and was unveiled on November 11, 2005 on the Xbox.com website; however, games have been subsequently removed due to bugs. The following 13 games have been removed from the list: Catwoman, Codename: Kids Next Door, Curse: The Eye of Isis, NBA LIVE 2003, Sid Meiers Pirates, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Blinx 2, FIFA World Cup 2002, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Legends of Wrestling, Mortal Kombat: Deception, and Rugby 2005.
Nobody, like nobody, put effort into getting Barbies Horse Adventure working, but its on the BC list!
Thats how Id have done it in order to get the widest BC support out there the shortest timeframe.
