X-Box Emulated (Not)

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.

    Is this for real? People are still arguing here.

  2. DOA is good by WildBeast · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    DOA3 have great graphics and makes for some good fun, especially if you're not playing alone. But Project Gotham Racing is extremely addicting.

    You're surprised? They don't even post their comments in the comment area anymore! (Naturally, that's what the story part is for.) Witness this.

    Jamie didn't post the story. Jamie didn't find the link. Last I check, Jamie wasn't even widely recongized as Java/CLF expert. And worst of all, nobody fucking asked Jamie his fucking opinion.

    But we get it anyway. A mostly mindless stupid rant, with moronic predicitions to boot.

    Yay. Lucky us.

    Any story posted by Timothy or Michael is hardly more than a link with a paragraph or two of badly written and poorly thought-out commentary on their part.

    To be fair, however, not everyone does this. Props to CmdrTaco, CowboyNeal, Hemos, and a few of the others. I just wish we'd get more of them and less of the village idiots.
