NES Emulator for Xbox 360?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the old-lessons-in-the-new-skool dept.

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."

    So basically you're running a game on your PC, and using the XBox 360 as a thin client to remotely display the PC's screen output.

    Why not just take one of the XBox 360's PC-compatible USB controllers, plug it directly into your PC, and play the game there?

    if you take a NES and hook it up to your tv, via RF or RCA cables, you can actually play NES games on your TV. The best part is, it has native support for NES controllers, and the sound works too. Imagine that. It even runs in 244i. :P
