>Microsoft is also planning to let developers bring their Xbox 360 games to PC, according to a leaked document. The company is also planning a disc to digital program.https://www.theverge.com/games/974544/microsoft-xbox-360-games-pc-disc-digital-program
>>744624000Good, there are like 10 I'd like to play
Really curious how this will work.But playing 360 games on PC would be nice, really want to experience the original Gears of War games if possible.
Unfortunately they are locking this to W11 so it might as well be console exclusive still.
>>744624000this is a reaction to all the recompiles happening.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHKLl0kNRI8^ Ninja Gaiden 2 and it has unlocked framerate so it's already superior since any dev PC port.
>>744624000I have no idea how this disc to digital program works but it sounds like a massive waste of time and money that no one will really care about in the long-term (like most XBOX "initiatives")
Can they just make Rare Replay playable on PC? That's the only one I care about
>>744624664No shit sherlock w10 is deprecated already
>>744624000Aren't they pretty much all on PC anyway?
>>744624000I'd like to play Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey
>>744625261Its a attemp to maintain the Xbox base in the helix
>>744624000Someone checked the executable, apparently this thing is the xbox 360 emulator for the Series X, running the OG xbox for the xbox 360. Which is really quite funny.
>>744624000Transbox is so fucking dead
>>744624664>>744625394Xbox OG games work on Windows 10, and this is based on an Xbox 360 emulator
>>744625261each game disc on xbox has a unique key which they were initially going to use to make you pay a small fee to activate used copies or use a game disc on another account on another console. ever since sony bodied them in their ps4 game sharing adverts before the xbox one/ps4 launched they've basically been dormant. the idea is you put the game disc in your xbox (xbox one and series games only), the key on the disc is tied to your account and you can use it anywhere until the disc is used on another account which then transfers the license
imagine being a xenia a dev right now
>>744624000More information on this>The first Xbox 360 games will arrive in October, and in the meantime, Xbox OG games will continue to be releasedhttps://x.com/tomwarren/status/2084322673564188905
>>744624000Damn can't wait to play Halo and uhhhhhh
>>744630743also a xemu dev, conker live and reloaded runs much better on the official xbox emulator than on xemu on my pc
>xbox emulation is notoriously shit and de/recomps still take effort/llmslop tokens; except for the official emulators that are stuck on consoles that still haven't been hacked yet>i know, lets give them the official emulators that are 100% going to be reverse engineered and ported to linux in a weekI mean, nice for them to do that but it's like they actively want to kill any advantages Xbox has.
If they can't/don't explain it in a short sentence then it's going to flop
>>744624000I can finally play fable 2? Is it worth playing?
Why has xbox emulation always been massively behind playstation anyway?
>>744633547ultimately it's not that surprising. external folks don't have enough interest or coding experience to unfuck and unfurl what's being approached here, so while xenia and xemu WORKED it was never gonna get the refinements they really needed at this rate. the xbox was also kind of a really, really stupid and convoluted system internally compared both the PS2 and Gamecube, despite trying to act like it was a console version of a weak PC for its time. and when it comes down to it, the people interested in getting PS2 and GC games running are a thousand times more autistic, than whoever wants to get mech assault 2, murakumo, and tenchu z running on emulation; most multiplats were simply worse on PS2 but people would sooner live with that than try to interpret and code an emulation from the ground up for the "best versions" of the games.if ubisoft wasn't up shit's creek I'd really hope for the Tom Clancy games to get another reissue but oh well.
>>744630850>Storefront ingestionWhy do they talk like this?
>>744630923the microsoft emulator has always been better than official emulators, it being available on PC is a big deal for this reasonbeing a UWP program means it will be exceedingly hard to inject other games into though sadly.
>>744633547Lack of exclusive games worth emulating the machine for other than Halo which was available on PC anyway.Piracy is the main driver of emulation development hence why Nintendo consoles always get emulated so fast (Because they have tons of 1st party IP locked to their console)
>>744629709Your screenshot is gibberish. You may have a virus.
>>744633547>>744636243People bought into the meme that an Xbox was just a PC and then immediately dropped the project when the reality check inevitably hit them that it actually isn't just a PC.Repeat this about 100 times, that’s the history of Xbox emulation.Fundamentally emulating the Xbox obviously isn’t impossible since Microsoft paid their own devs a salary to make one back in the early 2000s for the Xbox 360 that to this day is still better than any community emulator, but the motivation from the community to do the same was just never there.
>>744624000Is it finally time?
Okay so there's Fable II, Gears of War 2, 3 and Judgement, Forza Motorsport 2-4, Lost Odyssey, Ninja Gaiden II and Saints Row, Far Cry InstinctsAnything else?
>>744624000Give me fable 2.
>>744636454infinite undiscovery
>>744636454Dead Rising 2 Case Zero, Dead Rising Case West (XBLA games still stuck on 360; i tested both and they work at 60fps in xenia)Ace Combat 6Tenchu Z
>>744636454Project Gotham Racing 3 & 4Tenchu ZFight Night Round 3
>>744636454the non-shit versions of the Tomb Raider second era since for whatever reason PS3 and PC were both fucky, SoulCalibur IV, Chromehounds rip
I have ever 360 game I ever owned on PC already except Dark Souls 2 because it fucking sucks
nigga gaiden black pls
>>744624000Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 coming to PC?
>>744624115You already can, get the pc version of Gears of War 1 and install redux mod, it even comes with an extra chapter not found in the 360 versionGears of War 2 HollowGears of War 3 Xenia emulator, not a pc port but it's the closest until the actual recomp or xbox 360 pc port comes out
>>744636454I'd like to add :Ridge Racer 6Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai SquadDead Or Alive 4 Blue Dragon
>>744633547nobody gives a shit about xboxbig N>sega>PS>>>dogshit>xbox
>>744636454rare collection.
>>744636454Dantes infierno
>>744639046>>744636454Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis
Hope you guys enjoy it. Been playing XBOX 360 on my Series X recently. Mostly Lost Odyssey and Fable II. Hope you get to play them.
>>744636454Worth noting Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon 1 and 2 aren’t on Backwards compatibility. I’m sure for “licensing issues”But considering people have been able to inject 360 games into the emulator on PC I’m sure someone can add them.
>>744636454For me it's The Darkness, Condemned 2 and Dantes inferno
>>744624963This is because the next Xbox will be a PC and they are solving backward compatibility with this. Good for the gamers but shit for Xbox users as usual because BC was the only thing that worth a damn on an Xbox for more than a decade now. The brand truly became e-waste.
>>744629709good morning salir
>>744625261it means every xbox needs to be connected to the internet to check if the game you bought is already registered with another account to delete the license.
>>744642296XBOX has always run on highly customised versions of Windows since XBOX One.
can i finally play mercenaries 2?
>>744625261Like Nintendo KeyCards but discs
>>744642874Not a part of the backwards compatibility but someone could probably inject it
>>744633547because you could do couple of solders, trigger a savegame exploit, then flash the bios and play pirated games off the hard drive. you didnt need emulation for xbox.
>>744624000Give me GoW 1 - 3 ports and I'll give you money.
>>744624000Is it just built in emulator? I shouldn't expect any keyboard & mouse support?
>>744633547Xbox emulation is in a weird place where everything is working against it:>only really the 360 was popular>Xbox emulation is not EZ>the actual exclusive library is pretty smallAnd the main reason is MS fucking the Xbox emulation forever by providing their solution which already provides a more than decent experience. With them now bringing Xbox emulation to PC it feels like even more a futile effort to work on it. Is there any exclusive besides Jet Set Radio Future that a lot of people want and MS didn't include in the BC program?
>>744642845This is oversimplification and a meme. If this was true full Xbox BC would have been achieved ages ago and MS wouldn't need to fix old ass games like Conker even now.
I skipped the PS3 and 360 eraSo this would be niceI also heard MG4 comes to PC, too
>>744624000I don't even remember what games I own digitally on 360 any more, though I bought a bunch. It'd be different if I could play all my physical copies through my DVD drive, but I doubt that's possible. So I dunno if I can really be excited to replay what, 'Splosion Man? WWE All Stars? The version of Super Meat Boy with the original soundtrack? Trials HD, maybe? I guess I'd be willing to rebuy Lost Odyssey if I could get a digital copy for under £5 but that's not likely.
>>744624000Xenia solved this already
I don't give a fuck about 360 games.The ones worth a fuck had their normal ports. There might be few exceptions like GoWs after 1, but these days GoW sucks shit and I care about the IP much less.Also- I ain't giving Jeetbox any money.
>>744644076Xbox is one system they can easily optimise for PC has thousands of configurations.
>>744624000I am only interested in a port, NOT REMASTER OR REMAKE, of lost odissey.The rest can go fuck themselves.
>>744624000No thanks, I'll stick with my RGH.
>>744645478That is part of the "leak".
>>744624664Then i'll just continue to emulate Lost Odyssey. Fuck Windows 11.
>>744624664Someone will figure out a way to put it on 10.
>>744624000They really want the 360 to be dead, eh
>>744636454You can plays Gears 2 RIGHT NOW!google Gears of War 2 Hollow on moddbit's got mouse and keyboard support and even online play (to an extent)
>>744624963>unlocked framerate>it's not reprogrammed to actually handle the unlocked framerate and is the same shit as every emulator running shit out of sync at speedupYeah, and this recomp is another Xenia emulator wrapper, not actual native port with any improvements. Same graphical and audio bugs even.
>>744629709literally the worst game they released so far
>>744649025>this recomp is another Xenia emulator wrapper, not actual native port with any improvementsthis shit is so annoyingevery time I see some faggot talking about the "skate 3 recomp :OOOO !!!" I want to gut them
>>744624000PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET ME PLAY THE OUTFIT AGAIN
>>744638370Doesn't that GoW2 Hollow thing use Xenia too? That's the impression I got from some thread a few days ago
>>744624000>Ninja Gaiden original first 2 games, sigma fucking sucks dick.>Gears trilogy original, demasters and demakes fucking sucks dick.>Saints Row 1>Crackdown 1>All on steam with individual releases, no fucking bundle or subscriptionThis or go fucking kill yourself Microslop.
>>744624664There's always some massive downside to every cool thing Microjeet tries to do. Jesus fucking christ, incompetent niggers
No Steam, no buy. I refuse to use the Windows Store.
>>744624664People have already tested it on windows 10.>but the website says 11!!!https://youtu.be/RvV3nn_de2k?si=eSII9Nym4bVaMF4X
>>744624000>og mass effect trilogy>halo 3>rainbow six vegas>gow trilogydo it. I'm a nostalgia freak
>>744625351Every single game already is.
Mind you they never put halo 5 on pc because they couldn't figure out how after they fired the devs so I doubt their technical prowess in getting alot of these games to work in a timely manner
>>744649697>on PC already>master chief collection is on pc>on PC already
>>744650135every single one of those games has had a botched bordering on unplayable port
>>744624664Might as well be lost media.
Why is crimson skies always the first game to be added to programs like this but the bastards absolutely refuse to make another?
>>744636454THE iDOLM@STERTHE iDOLM@STER Live For You!
>run a basic version of windows on xbox>hook up with GOG to make a GOGbox and play old PC games without having to deal with windows directlywhy cant they just do this?
>>744649158No. It was one schizo and you fell for it.
>>744629709I hate how their fucking shit is somehow regionlocked and won't let me play Conker in EnglishI literally would have to pirate it to do so, just incredible
Once xbox 360 games are added will people be able to reverse engineer the emulator to improve acual emulation?
>>744624115goypass is 5 bucks.
>>744636454Lost Planet 2 maybe since the PC version is still busted
>>744656135I think that's what happened when the OG Xbox games came to PC recently, so probably
>>744624000>20 year old slop
>>744624000Cool, I'll be able to play AC6.
>>744624664No suprise given microsoft is a band of pajeets who wants everyone to use their superpooper os.
