      Worse than OG Xbox emulation? Last time I checked, it was rough to say the least, with absurd hardware requirements.

        Which IMO is very odd, considering the OG Xbox is quite literally just an x86 PC and at this point has been cracked wide open.

          Common misconception. It’s not a PC. Many of the components are close to standard, but their implementation isn’t. Lots of proprietary shenanigans going on. It also lacks a typical BIOS, which alone makes it not an x86 PC.

      Oh damn they coded the random red ring of death into an emulator? That’s really cool. I wonder how they can emulate the euphoric and absolutely not infuriating experience of scratching a disc for no apparent reason.

        It wasn’t for no reason, it was caused by having a disc in the drive while changing the consoles orientation. You had to remove discs from the drive before standing it up or laying it on its side due to the design of the tray, otherwise the disc would stick halfway between a slot on the side of the tray and get wrecked by the laser carriage.

      We do have decomps in the pipes apparently for those exclusives that keep me hopeful. Fable 2 has one halfway running as of I think a few months ago.
