Xbox Original Emulator.

hi
will there be a xbox emulator for the original xbox.
there are few emulators going around on the pc & andriod devices.
-
@Slugz short answer - no :)
-
Just wondering why original xbox emulation would not be possible on the pi? It's the same generation as the ps1 and N64 and those seem to work fine.
-
The original XBox was a full generation later. The current Pi3 arguable doesn't handle N64 or Dreamcast emulation all that well either. It's a great little computer, but it has it's limits.
-
Is there even one for full-sized x86? I could not find one :(
-
Hah! yeah, that's a good point that makes it a non-issue to begin with. There are a few options, but they're only for Windows and from what I hear, they're not very functional.

Basically, there isn't much interest or a big community for XBOX emulation. Original consoles are still running and can be easily modded to add a hard drive full of old games. If that's not your thing, then the XBOX 360 has Backwards Compatibility for a lot of titles (and can be modded too I suppose). MS keeps flirting with the idea of Original XBOX BC on the XBOX One, but I don't see it happening without re-developing games into a downloadable package as they do with XBOX 360 BC games and a lot of those original XBOX studios aren't around or likely don't want to re-release (you can already play stuff like Jet Grind Radio from XBLA).
TL:DR The interest and effort isn't there on PC and SBCs aren't powerful enough.

@mrbwa1 part of the lack of interest is there are relatively few exclusive Xbox games so most games can be played on a ps2 emulator

True. Most XBOX exclusives can be played on the Xbox 360 anyhow.
Also, I forgot to add that the original XBOX live is long dead, so anything playable is only for single player campaign or local multiplayer.
