Windows Games On Xbox
« on: June 18, 2004, 01:23:00 PM »
I'm wondering, with all the ports of PC emulators to Xbox, is there ANY possibility that a PC game could be made playable on the Xbox.  Maybe use the hard disk for storing a virtual image, or maybe get it to run from the CD.

The game I'm wondering about would be the PC version of Twisted Metal 2.  It took a pentium-133 to run, and all music and movies were stored on the CD.  I know it was also on PlayStation, I had that one too, but the PC version has network capabilities, and enhanced graphics...

Maybe I'm a complete NOOB when it comes to the power of the Xbox, but with all the PC emu's having been ported, I thought I would ask.

Get the source code and we'll talk turkey.

Sorry, I kind of think in more General terms...as in emulation being a machine running a program that lets it act as a different machine  :)

Is there an easy way to place the topic in another place?

You can run windows games, but not fast enough to play, Just use your PC to play PC games.

try installing linux and using WINE. I think other people have gotten it to work fine with pc games, just there is no 3d card support, only software

Would the memory upgrade make it run smoother?
