First XBox Emulation on PC and other system Emulation on XBox 360 and One
Hi guys,
This is Davide and I'm new on the forum, but an old user of Emuparadise website.
Today, I decided to subscribe because I need advise from expert users.
Premise:
Around 1 year ago I decided to build my own list of old games to collect and insert them possibly in a single emulation system.
I stopped with emulation 9 years ago on 2010, around 2014 I heard that it was possible to emulate the PSP on Android, so I was sure that now 6th generation consoles (DC, PS2 and first Xbox) could be easily emulated on any system.
I started setting up my Android (a simple TV Box 1.4ghz 4 core with 1GB RAM), but I found it had some technical limitations so I should change it.
Before spending money on a new device (I was thinking to Nvidia Shield), I did some researches and I found that PS2 and Sega Saturn emulation are not good on Android and first Xbox is totally impossible.
So I decided to pass to PC: I remembered on 2010 I was able to emulate PS2 on my old PC (not perfectly, but my old PC was not powerful). I was sure that today emulate the first Xbox on a PC would be a piece of cake!
I installed the most common emulators and started the main game I'm interested in (Panzer Dragoon Orta), any of them was not starting at all on my current PC (that is anyway a low-end device: I3 CPU 2.6ghz dual core with 4GB Ram).
I found that the one that is considered the best Emulator is supposed to work only on 32bit systems, but my PC is 64bit.
The only one that starts is CXBX, that can start the ROM (with low framrate), up to the game start screen, then at the moment of showing graphic elements, it goes in blackscreen.
I watched some videos on youtube where people were able to play it very good on their PCs, so I tried it on a better PC (I7 CPU with 12GB RAM), but the same emulator I used before on the first PC is not starting at all (and so all the other emulators).
I did some additional researches and discovered that Xbox Emulation on PC is not that easy (it's kind in Alpha).
I found that the best way to play first Xbox games is on Xbox consoles (360 and One).
It might be interesting because it would give me access also on some excellent games of the last years (GTA4 and 5, various Assassin's Creed).
I know Nintendo and Sony Consoles can also emulate other systems very well, so I was pretty sure that also X360 and One should be able to do it, but due to all the previous things I was sure before that are not actually possible, I want a real confirmation before spending money on X360/One.
Objective:
My objective is to emulate in a single system all (or almost all) the systems up to 6th generation (GameCube excluded, as for that I have the Wii U).
Options:
1. Emulate Panzer Dragoon Orta on PC perfectly (or almost).
Even if I listed more games for the first Xbox, for me only one is essential: Panzer Dragoon Orta.
If I can run it on one of the my PCs, I won't spend money on a new console.
2. Buy an XBox One, only if it allows me to emulate all, including PS2.
I did some searches on PS2 emulation and I found X360 can't do it at all.
On X-One, I saw there is something but I don't understand if it can run perfectly the PS2 emulation.
Anyway, it should grant me access also to other complex systems (eg PSP and Sega Saturn)
3. Buy an Xbox 360, if Xbox One can't emulate PS2 and X360 can emulate all the other systems.
If X-One is not able to emulate PS2, I have no reason to spend money on it, where with a lower price 360 might give me access to all the other systems (including PSP and Sega Saturn).
What information I need from you?
1. Is there a way to make Panzer Dragoon Orta Run on PC?
2: Is it possible to hack easily Xbox One and/or 360 in order to make them emulate other consoles?
3: Is Xbox One able to emulate good old consoles, including PS2, Sega Saturn and PSP?
4: Is Xbox 360 able to emulate good old consoles including PSP and Sega Saturn?
Thank you for your time!
Davide
