Xbox Emulator Plays Retail Game
Ryan M. Pamplin writes "The critically acclaimed Xbox Emulator, CXBX, has made its way into Xbox history. Caustik has announced that "Turok Evolution" is now playable at real-time speed with comparable graphics to the Xbox while utilizing nearly the same graphics hardware found within the Xbox itself. The development of CXBX will continue to advance at rapid pace. Expect many additional titles to become playable upon the release of the next binary in the near future. A DivX video, binary, and GPL'ed source is available at the website."
From the site: "I have put up some google ad links above to generate some support. The last sizeable donation has gone towards a development box for Sop Skrutt, and in the future it will help reimburse Xbox-Scene.com who is kind enough to host us (including the above rather large and expensive to host AVI file)." My condolences on your host's soon-to-be-slashdoted-to-hell server.
Now you can play XBox games on a Windows machine! Think of all the lost revenue!
Underling: Sir, there's a situation. I have good news and bad news.
Bill Gates: Alright, let me hear it.
Underling: The bad news is, someone has created an XBox emulator capable of playing a commercial game, and the public has become aware of it.
Bill Gates: Oh no! That's horrible! This could undermine H&E's entire business model! What's the good news?
Underling: The game is Turok Evolution.
Bill Gates: *Whew*

So...when they get Halo to run on this thing, which one will run better: the PC version or the emulated X-Box version? I only say this because the current PC release runs like it's emulated already.
Gentlemen...BEHOLD!

Does it emulate the Goldeneye memory card hack? I really want to install Linux on it...
Well, I've got my Xbox running Linux right now. The emulator will let me play my Xbox games on my PC while I'm coding stuff on my Xbox.
Hmm... something seems weird about that. Oh well!

Do I now have to plug in a modchip emulator?
What I expect is the Microsoft legal team serving them with papers before the next binary release.
There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.
Now that I have finished turning my Xbox into a PC I can turn my PC into a Xbox! Hooray!
I'm not sure I want to play on something whose name looks like "cocks box".
Lately democracy seems to be based on the skybox, the Happy Meal box, the X-box, and the idiot box.
On the grounds that the original poster wanted some karma.
Forget the whales - save the babies.
If I mod my xbox emulator to run Linux and then connect my xbox emulator to XBOX Live will Microsoft intall an updatethat disables my xbox emulator?
You really need to see if your XBox emulator, running on a Linux machine, will run Linux.
Then you could run the Xbox emulator on that....
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
I mean really, working on this kind of project seems to me to be a serious misallocation of resources.

Re: X-Box Emulator
Thank you for bringing to our attention this serious misallocation of resources. These units will be re-programmed to begin production on work more suited to fulfilling this year's 5-year plan. Unit #000000000001 is pleased to know all comrades are looking out for the good of the Party.
Sincerely,

Endless arguments over trivial contradictions in books written by ignorant savages to explain thunder in the dark.
I can't wait to try this out. If I could run Linux on this emulator it would give me a way to put Linux on my x86 box.. Oh wait... That's right...
Just like with the Dreamcast, and we saw how very effective that was in preventing copying.
