X-Box Emulated (Not) · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday January 12, 2002 @05:26AM 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.

Appears. The problem is that is DOES none of those things. The dlls and vxd are bogus files, copied from other software and renamed. The rest is just a simple VB application that shows menus and fails to initialize the video, so you can't run anything.
