cm0002After 11 years, Xbox One emulators are finally coming to PC - but they're not actually using emulation at all
Draconic NEOWhy would they, Xbox uses a version Windows and an x86 core + AMD GPU, bog standard parts, bog standard system, it’s easier to tap into the windows component on an x86 system and just use that to run the games. Making a proper emulator for games that would otherwise run on the PC natively just wouldn’t make sense.
AppoxoI think this will become true for a lot of the new gen systems in the future (starting from xbox1).
Same for PS4 maybe running easier on OpenBSD/Unix-like systems by having a similar kernel.
Will certainly be interesting!
