NES Emulator for Xbox 360?

jayintune writes "2old2play is reporting on a new Nintendo emulator for the Xbox 360. Someone has apparently figured out a way to stream emulation via Media Center to the 360 in 480p. At this time sound is not currently available, but they are said to be working on a fix as well as other emulators including GEN and TG16. You can check out the emulator in action from this link to a YouTube video."

The Nintendo Rev will be able to play NES, SNES, N64, GB, GC, Genesis, and TurboGraphx games out of the box. Big deal. I think I can wait :)

Better yet, if cost isn't much of an issue, buy an original XBox and modify it(or buy it premodded if soldering scares you). For $150(retail XBox) + $50(a nice modchip) + $100 (hard drive upgrade) = $300 you can get a gaming console that can do more than the XBox360. Granted it's not as pretty as an XBox360 in a number of ways, but the stuff you can do with it makes up for that. XBox Media Center(which will play almost any computer video/audio/picture format) + emulation of almost any popular old video game console turns the XBox into a media box that really has no rival out there.

Back to the topic, people have already figured out how to stream non-supported video formats(e.g. DivX,XviD,etc.) to the XBox360. I guess this is another extension of that. Outside the ass backwards way to set it up, it also seems like lag would be an issue as well. Of course, that's just my intial speculation. To me, until some figures out how to get unsigned code on the 360 it's just not worth the effort to do stuff like this when there's cheaper(and better) alternatives out there.
