2001 Xbox avilable for retropie sooner or later !
-
is the xbox emulator available on the raspberry pi3 ? seeing as the psx emulator runs.
emulator like -
Xeon
Cxbx
Dxbx -
One emulated system can't really be used as the metric for the possibility of another, but in this case there's a whole generation gap between the PSX and XBOX. Unless I'm just remembering it wrong, the XBOX's contemporaries included the PS2 & Gamecube. I believe there was also some overlap with the Dreamcast as well, but to be honest, the Pi 3 isn't really capable of shining the best light on that system either.

I don't know if things have changed recently or not, but the last time I checked, Xbox emulation was pretty much non-existent even on PCs. I don't know why, but I suspect it's at least partly due to lack of demand. Many of the popular games were multi-platform and several of the key exclusives aren't in need of emulation since they were ported to the PC (Halo, Halo 2, Splinter Cell).

The xbox emulators are NOT available for the Raspberry Pi at all
The three you list do not appear to be in active development, for years. I have not checked extensively but they also do not appear to be built for linux and especially not ARM. -
If I recall correctly, there's a rule-of-thumb stating that the system performing emulation should be at least ten times as powerful as the system it is emulating.
The original Xbox had a Celeron processor in the 600mhz range, compared to the 1.2ghz processor on the Pi 3. As the Pi uses an Arm processor, it's actually not twice as fast, as the Arm is a RISC processor, thus it requires more clock cycles to perform certain operations compared to the CISC Intel chip in the Xbox.
I think I've read that the video core iv GPU in the Pi is roughly equivalent to the xbox's graphics chip, but this doesn't alleviate the core problem.
Basically, even if there were a fully-developed Xbox emulator, written in a portable language capable of being cross-compiled into Linux, the Pi is fundamentally short on horsepower. Shame - I love my xboxes...

What about now with the Pi 3 B+ and all these new milesones reached in N64 and PSX emulation?

@Cederick xbox 1 will never work on a pi 3b+. The xbox is quite a bit more powerful than a ps2. And a ps2 wont end up working on it either.
