X-Box Emulated (Not)

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the surprised-it-took-this-long dept.

evilpaul13 submitted linkage to news about an X-Box Emulator. It requires a pretty high end video card and a DVD player, and doesn't yet support joysticks, but it does emulate 3 of the X-Box games (which is what, half the games available for the system yet? :) Todays PS2 Addiction: Tony Hawk 3. But I still am tempted to get an MSX-Box if only to handle my DOA addiction. UPDATE by HeUnique:Is this emulator a fake? according to these messages in the XBox Hacker web site - this is a fake one. Could someone actually try it? Update: 01/13 by J : The consensus in our comments is that this is a hoax, and the paranoid would do well to treat it as a trojan or virus. Sorry.

    "General Problems with Intel CPU's"

    Thats pretty funny considering that there are Intel Processors in the actual XBox.

    LOL - I think /. needs a new section "Hoax of the Day" :)

    It works EXACTLY the same under wine as it does in windows, which is kinda nice.

    Of course you need Windows 3.1 to run it!

    The XBox DVD drive spins backwards to read the data

    Is that like playing records backwards to hear the hidden messages from the devil?
