X-Box Emulated (Not)

evilpaul13 submitted linkage to news about an X-Box Emulator. It requires a pretty high end video card and a DVD player, and doesn't yet support joysticks, but it does emulate 3 of the X-Box games (which is what, half the games available for the system yet? :) Todays PS2 Addiction: Tony Hawk 3. But I still am tempted to get an MSX-Box if only to handle my DOA addiction. UPDATE by HeUnique:Is this emulator a fake? according to these messages in the XBox Hacker web site - this is a fake one. Could someone actually try it? Update: 01/13 by J : The consensus in our comments is that this is a hoax, and the paranoid would do well to treat it as a trojan or virus. Sorry.

"General Problems with Intel CPU's"

Thats pretty funny considering that there are Intel Processors in the actual XBox.

LOL - I think /. needs a new section "Hoax of the Day" :)

It works EXACTLY the same under wine as it does in windows, which is kinda nice.

Of course you need Windows 3.1 to run it!

Re:Hoax?

The XBox DVD drive spins backwards to read the data

Is that like playing records backwards to hear the hidden messages from the devil?
