Xbox 360 emulator for Windows store

Iván Eduardo Cadena Flórez · Aug 6, 2018

Hi, I've been thinking for some time why Microsoft doesn't publish an official xbox 360 emulator (not necessarily free) on the windows store and by that adding all the Xbox 360 compatible games or at least the Microsoft exclusive platform games.

N64 Emulator for Xbox One via UWP

Do you miss your Nintendo 64 games?

According to the emulators developer, if you download the app from the windows store it will show up on your Xbox One ready to install section thanks to the magic of the UWP (Universal Windows Platform). Never ever did I think I would see Mario on an Xbox.

360 games playable on PC rumors

It'd never happen. A PC would not be able to play 360 games natively because of the huge differences in hardware that is available and the PC wouldn't have the power to emulate the 360.

[/quote]Not sure what you find curious.

Natively means it would be running on the PCs own hardware. This wouldn't happen because of the wide variety of hardware in use, whereas 360 games expect a standard set of calls.

Emulating means a piece of software which thinks it is a 360. So not only would you be running Windows 8 but a program to emulate the hardware of a 360, which in turn would have to run the 360's operating system.

Currently there aren't any decent emulators for the last gen of consoles, hell even Playstation 1 emulation isn't perfect, so you've no chance of emulating the Xbox 360.

[/quote] What if Windows 8 includes the Xbox 360 operating system? What if the software isn't emulating but is actually designed to run the games with a minimum set of required hardware? I think while this is rumour and speculation there is a possibility depending
on how Windows 8 is designed to incorporate it. Lastly there are decent emulators for last gen, hell even a decent emulator for this gen, not great mind, but decent.

Why do it when the xbox backward compatibility offers just that

I don't think they will since some x360 games never arrived on pc.

That and you need the emulator

You can use any external hdd to store games BUT you need the original xbox 360 hdd for the emulator to run them
