While platforms as recent as the PS3 and even the Switch are now working very well on emulators, the original Xbox has remained a thorn in the side of the scene. So it’s nice to see the xemu emulator making such solid progress.
Xemu v0.5 was recently released, and this video shows some of the games that can run on it, from major releases like areola for not-so-big releases.
While the video above is promising, it is also using a lot of random / terrible games for a reason: most of the console library remains unplayable on the emulator, so this is a progress video for v0.5, not a triumphant full version.
If there is a multiplatform game of this generation that you are dying to try again, it is better to try the PS2 version, since the emulation is much more mature for that platform. But if you’re looking for an Xbox exclusive, stay tuned for new developments like this!
