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.
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.
I know, but it is based on standard PC components of the time, which made it ripe for mods, including installing Linux… Several friends of mine had the OG Xbox, and all were modded. One of my buddies still has his, I’m trying to convince him to resurrect it 😂
Honestly, yeah it is. OG Xbox emulator has gotten a lot better, but 360 still has the frame drop issues and a LOT of texture fixing problems. So you can spin the camera in just about any game and the textures are flying at you
360 might be the single most buggy emulator I play. Shit runs on thoughts and prayers
So it the perfect Xbox 360 emulator?

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.
Hahahah
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.
