Good to hear that emulation development is still alive and well, for so many reasons. As consoles became more locked-down emulation seemed to stall, what with the unusually long generational span of the 360/ps3 era. Someday it will be outrageously expensive to find a working ps3 or Xbox 360, and when that day comes emulation will be the only way to enjoy the titles from your childhood, especially for non-blockbuster titles with little chance of remakes. Scanning preserves our photographic history, digitalization preserves our film history, and emulation is how we preserve our gaming history.
- ariwilson 8y agoMicrosoft's proprietary emulator for Xbox 360 provides access to 551 out of 2100 released games on the Xbox One. One of the main reasons I bought one (pretty amazing I can LAN party Halo Reach between my 360/One X). I can't see any reason they wouldn't keep improving the emulator and bringing it to their next consoles (which are very likely to be AMD machines and thus have near native backwards compatibility with Xbox One).
