Naive question: What would this mean for Xbox 360 emulators?
- EamonnMR 7y agoOr Mac, for that matter.
- floatboth 7y agoThey were fine anyway, in fact Xenia has been in development for a long time already. ISA royalties are for chip vendors. QEMU implements like most ISAs out there and I don't think anyone ever had to explicitly acquire any rights for that…
- monocasa 7y agoAs someone writing a 360 emulator, probably not much. The Cell docs are already available (Xenon is a modified Cell PPE), and the ways that it's different are a one off for Xenon that probably won't be documented in this dump.
- mepian 7y agoNothing at all.
- hajile 7y agoI wouldn't think it would matter very much for emulators, but there has been some amount of work with old game consoles running on an FPGA to give the actual experience (and you can add quite a few old console chips on a single modern FPGA). If someone is up to re-design a POWER chip, running games would be a lot easier.
