Which Xbox game is your favorite Let me know in the comments About the Author Tyler Sanderson Im a Canadian who is currently working at Googles NYC office as a software developer.At long last, the efforts of many dedicated developers have paid off, and we now have more than one working original Xbox emulator.However, two stand out from the pack: Cxbx-Reloaded XQEMU I took the time to test out each Xbox emulator currently available, and these two were so far ahead it wasnt even worth comparing them to the others.As you can see, based on several factors, XQEMU is the best Xbox emulator.
Working Games Isnt the main point of emulation to play all of your favorite games XQEMU supports about 275 games at the time of writing, and Cxbx-Reloaded supports about 60 (including Sega Chihiro ). By support, I mean that you can play through the game (although some games may have minor issues with graphics and lag). XQEMU Xbox Emulator Compatibility List (I only counted working games with ingame or playable status) Cxbx-Reloaded Xbox Emulator Compatibility List To save you some time, here is a list of the top 25 Xbox games of all time according to IGN, and which Xbox emulators they work on: Halo: Combat Evolved XQEMU Halo 2 Neither Tom Clancys Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Neither (XQEMU works with the original game) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Neither (XQEMU works with other Star Wars games) Jade Empire Neither Rainbow Six 3 Neither Ninja Gaiden Black Neither Fable Neither ESPN NFL 2K5 Neither GTA: San Andreas Neither Prince of Persia: Sands of Time XQEMU The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay Neither Burnout 3: Takedown Neither (XQEMU works with Burnout 2) NCAA Football 2003: Neither The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Neither Mercenaries XQEMU (see compatibility list) Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge XQEMU and Cxbx-Reloaded Psychonauts Neither Madden NFL 2005 Neither MVP Baseball 2005 Neither Panzer Dragoon Orta Cxbx-Reloaded Beyond Good and Evil Neither Fight Night Round 2 Neither Forza Motorsport Neither Jet Set Radio Future XQEMU and Cxbx-Reloaded XQEMU Xbox Emulator Gameplay Cxbx-Reloaded Xbox Emulator Gameplay Easy to Use This is the one category where Cxbx-Reloaded destroyed XQEMU. ![]() It also has a handy GUI: I should mention that XQEMU also has a basic, official frontend called XQEMU-Manager that runs as a Python script: For XQEMU, the Getting Started instructions are basically: Dump a boot ROM image from your physical Xbox Dump the BIOS from your physical Xbox Find a Xbox hard disk drive image Launch the Xbox emulator from your command prompt with a bunch of variables Needless to say, this took me forever to set up properly. Due to the nature of how XQEMU does Xbox emulation, you unfortunately need all of these things to get it to work. Mechassault How To Acquire ThemHowever, these are copyrighted files, so I wont go into detail on how to acquire them. Im sure if your Google skills are strong enough youll be able to make progress here. Platforms XQEMU supports all major operating systems, while Cxbx-Reloaded only has official first-party support for Windows. As of October 2017, you can run Cxbx-Reloaded on Linux using Wine though. Project Status Both XQEMU and Cxbx-Reloaded are under active development. Features, bug fixes, and support for new games are constantly being added. In fact, Jannik Vogel of XQEMU and Luke Usher of Cxbx-Reloaded both have Patreons since they work so hard on their respective projects. Im personally really excited to see what the future of these Xbox emulators holds. Ill try not to get into too much detail since theres some good discussion of this online. The main reason is that the Xboxs hardware is incredibly complex and not very well documented. Xbox has a x86 CPU, which is common in PCs, but difficult to emulate accurately Xbox has a NV2A GPU, which comes with many complications to emulate The Xbox audio system contains a NVIDIA SoundStorm APU, which is really hard to find detailed information for No one fully understands the Xbox BIOS Xbox has three video encoders, requiring a lot of effort to emulate correctly Xeon Honorable Mention Given how difficult xbox emulation is, the Xeon Xbox emulator deserves a special mention. It can only run one commercial game (Halo), and it plays very roughly. However, that is a huge accomplishment that not even Cxbx-Reloaded can do (yet).
