Original Xbox's complete source code leaked online

[erek]

This is pretty cool / spicy !!!

"The Xbox source code leak in particular could have some value. While it would be illegal for programmers to use Microsoft’s own code in an emulator, the info gleaned from the dump could inform new approaches to creating a better software version of the console. Only a small fraction of Xbox games can currently run smoothly via homebrew emulation. While many popular games are supported by Microsoft’s official Xbox emulation via the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, it’s still important to some that the games are preserved and remain playable as the original hardware units die out."

Didn't a hacker group called Xbox Underground steal this code years ago?

Yay! I'd love to have an emulator that actually works.

Crazy there's not an emulator when it was just an x86 PC

A big part of it was the lack of real exclusives.

Sure, some of the PC ports were botched, some of the BC/remasters weren't great, but in the end, almost anything worthwhile wasn't Xbox exclusive.

Dang that looks really interesting. I had a ton of fun with friends on Halo 2, it was definitely the epitome of console gaming back then.

Jet Set Radio Future
Blinx: The Time Sweeper

So, where can it be downloaded from?

Yeah, all of the best Xbox games have already been ported (Halo series, multiple times). And it seems like you can play the remains of the cruft on Xbox through emulation.

Not true.

Jet Set Radio Future
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Xbox has an exclusive version)
Otogi 1 and 2
GunValkyrie
Dino Crisis 3 (Though, the game isn't great...still deserves to be kept alive)


I'll have to go through the rest of my HDD, but those are off the top of my head. Not too mention, that the XBOX would have the best versions of each of the multiplatform releases.
