Xenia Is A Working Xbox 360 Emulator,Showcased Running Commercial Game For First Time
- Thread starter Poetic.Injustice
- Start date
Again, the entire source tree for the Xbox leaked ages ago, so it's there if someone really wanted to throw caution to the wind. It just opens up other legal issues.

Only "legal" way to get it is to have a modded console, rip disc copies to the console and FTP them over to your PC.
Way of the Samurai 3 in Xenia.
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 in Xenia. Apparently this is sped up 10x.

Sounds like an absolute pain I didn't even know it was possible to mod a 360 I'm kind of scared at how difficult it will be.
I've modded my PS2 to dump the bios and that required physically opening it up removing a disc and placing a burnt disc running a ripped copy of the game and a modified .elf file to load the tools to mod the firmware.
I modded my wiiU to rip wii games and all that took was loading up a modified stage file into Brawl.
Doesn't really matter though since I don't have a 360 to mod so I'll just stick with Dolphin and PCSX2.

Yeah, not worth doing yourself if you have no idea. 360s are pretty secure, they need hardware in the form of soldered chips in order to be modded.
That's not true. There is a hard drive for the PC which can rip games and you can buy it pre-flashed with the right firmware.
Good stuff. I tried Ridge Racer 6 but that was garbled past the into/menu's
Off topic. Since MS is now releasing backwards comparability through emulation on the xbox one. Wouldn't it be awesome if they brought the ability to play 360 games on Windows. Of course it will never happen lol Does show that full 360 emulation on x86 is possible though.
Arcana Heart 3 - Ingame
It runs pretty well, if it weren't for the missing texts and characters in-battle then I'd say it would be playable. Anyway it's really impressive how fast the emulator is progressing.

No, you can use a Kreon (outdated though) or 0800 drive straight in your PC and rip 360 games using it.
Hmm, that website does not display well at all.

This is progressing really well. Quite awesome.

IIRC, didn't someone port Halo 3 to PC? It's technically possible to port this stuff to PC, but no one outside of a handful of people know how to do it when they're just working with the final release copy instead of having all the assets in a non-compiled state.

Not as far as I'm aware. The closest thing is Halo Online, a game built from an officially ported, modified version of the Halo 3 engine. People have modded that to play it offline/over fake LAN, but there's no REAL Halo 3 on PC.

that was it. thanks
You can download the source code from GitHub or get a compiled version from a site like EmuCR.
Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition can now get in-game.
Oh my, this means you'll finally be able to play the best version of DMC3 on PC. The PC port is trash, so much that people recommend emulating the PS2 version over it.
Any reason to prefer the 360 version of LA Noire over the PC version?
Someone please update this thread when LA Noire, UFC Undisputed 3 and Red Dead Redemption are playable

Not true. Back when the 360 was still new I could do dumps of games directly to my pc using the DVD drive.
There's a PC version?! O_O
It was like 3 bucks on steam last sale.
Glad to see games like this and After Burner Climax will finally be able to be preserved.

Be still my beating heart.
Gonna switch it around, first Vanquish and then ChromeHounds
(If Vanquish works I will die)
If ChromeHounds works I wish we could get a working world server emulator and go Hounding again!

How did I not think about this earlier. Oh God.
The thought that it might still take few years until it runs well makes me sad. I want this more than having RDR running on PC.
How does RDR fare in the current version of the emu for you guys?
I tried it for the first time today (only game I own and have ripped so far) but it just freezes the emu after the legal disclaimer and doesn't even roll the R* intro - despite the video posted a week or so ago which showed exactly that.

Amazing work done
This is something that is going to be great when the emulator will reach Dolphin's capabilities.

Yea but its not hard to find a 6 figure SW dev/eng job. Those capable of emulating this would require more than just hitting that 6 figure mark and a few years and more you need a team. Easily a 2 mil+ project. Microsoft has the budget to throw the top devs at it and they did it but it took awhile so its possible....
I am eager to see how this will perform. Even dolphin requires a lot of cpu power while it is "only" emulating the Wii (and GC, of course).
x360 is way more powerful than a Wii so I guess it will take some years to get reasonable speeds out of it.
That said MS is able (most probably with bought technique) to deliver quite good emulation speed of a 360 on the Xbone - a system which I wouldn't expect to be able to produce reasonable speed emulating a Wii (ie. when running dolphin on an Xbone).
