So, I was thinking... wouldn't it be easier for someone to run the game through an emulator, and use TexMod to rip the textures from there? If someone owns a copy of the game, and has the time to do it, please test this out

Because you know someone can just make an emulator for Xbox 360 games.

Considering that no publicly available, working emulators for the 360 have been made, nearly 9 years after it's initial release, this is highly unlikely.

Also, it's a lot more difficult that you may think.

The closet thing we've got is a barely functional original Xbox emulator.

Oh... I thought there were 360 emulators out there.. my bad

I could have sworn I've seen 360 emulators out there recently.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWGBXx8wAaw It looks like that there is

I've seen them all over the place but from my personal experience, most are either fake or just disguised original Xbox emulators.

As for the Youtube videos, there a quite a few ways to make it look genuine.

Most of them are for homebrew and stuff arent they?

Not possible, no emulator and such. The only way you will be able to get the textures is from the pack files that CEA uses. Creative idea though.



Please don't post anymore of that stuff, makes you look dumb... Unless you are trying to troll or something.

We can always try just making a port. Just an idea.

I think that would be just as difficult (maybe even moreso)

Gather people around the 343 industry work building. Rape everything. Leave. Profit?

Sounds good to me. Want to hit Crytek after that?

Sure, why not? Then after all the rape-age, we could all sit down in a neat little circle to watch the sunset while drinking a nice cup of- T-T-T-TBAG!!

And then some delicious muffins?

We will have waffles.

Hmm... We could.... But first...
We need to find Waffles... >l:D
"Waffles!! We don't know where you are, or where your at... But when we find you... We will eat you. >.>"

The we play 01 lol.

Current PC hardware is simply not powerful enough to emulate the Xbox 360 using typical software emulation techniques.

Even if somebody developed a fully functional emulator, it wouldn't run come close to running at acceptable speeds.

If someone was real committed, they could probably get a good emulator working on a G5 Power Mac, that's what they used as dev kits for the 360 anyway.

Apple products powering Microsoft products genius.

are you on drugs boi? the 360 uses 8 year old hardware, that wasn't new at it's time of release. anyone with almost any kind of computer made in the last 5 years could easily run 360 games.(statement possibly is not valid if MAC.) the ACTUAL issue is that the 360 uses a 480x360 resolution or some crap, so if u were to run a 360 game at a 4k resolution, then u can expect a low fps on most machines.

Neither of you are understanding that there's a difference between being able to run an Xbox 360 game that has been ported to x86 versus emulating the game, as is, in software. It's an entirely different beast.

Another idea, I know we don't really have the skill but couldn't we just do what Saber did and apply a graphics engine over the original Halo PC?

Bollics, we need to DDOS the 343 servers and grab the code!

i'm pretty sure certain affinity did more for CEA than 343i, 343i just supplied ripped HR tags for certain affinity. but between micro$oft and 343i i doubt certain affinity could've published a pc port if they tried to.

I know Microsoft or some company will steal this idea if i say it but... It's too brilliant to keep in anymore... l:3
If in the future some company does this... Imma sue...

Ok, first design a super awesome computer case, crack open an xbox or playstation console, take the parts and shove it into the super awesome computer case that removes the dvd/disk drive space (which ever) because the console parts can do pretty much what a disk drive can do and more), create a program that let's you switch from console to normal pc or use the processing from the pc.
Profit? >l:}

If any company does this and i get no profit form it... Especially Microsoft... Imma get Anonymous on there peny-pinching money guzzling cheap-asses...

Edit:

I was just kidding about the whole Anonymous thing by the way.

Also, if they do that, then they don't have to waste there time and money on porting games back and forth and just use one disk. No more "Xbox disks, PC disks, Playstation disks, Nintendo 64 cartridges"
Just produce one disk, use one disk.

Isn't that how money soft makes its money, by having ,multiple platforms? You would cut their revenue in half if you limited it to one device, you have to get greedy and own more than one of the biggest platforms to exist...lol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_for_PlayStation_2
PS3 was going to continue the linux support, but they decided against it for whatever reason. You can mod linux onto a ps3 though. Also with the advent of things like the steam machine, pcs and consoles will have some hybrid devices. Afterall, dvd players and blueray players can be purchased as separate devices, but people are switching to using there game console with the same disc reader (hence the xbone TV stuff trying to replace your cablebox).
