Next inside xbox trailer said theyre going to talk about backwards compat updates

Thats really petty. They are 99% identical. A small flaw here or there really doesnt do much and its so much easier to navigate after the september patch.

As much as I am hoping for JSRF it will likely never happen due to music licensing issues. It’s almost always the problem with rereleases.
Same for Outrun as another one mentioned, it can’t be sold again because of the Ferrari license being timed and there is no reason or incentive to get a new one just for an old game.

If Microsoft just did straight up emulation from the actual game disc in the drive, those things wouldn’t be a problem, but they are adamant that every back compat game has to be sold in the game store as well and that’s where the licensing issues come forward.

Well then I'm very petty, I was promised the original Xbox versions of Halo CE and 2 within the MCC, I didn't get that in 2014, I got two PC ports, Microsoft still got to make that up to me. I also already have all 4, why would I rebuy the same games?

I don't own an Xbone, I plan to get the Xbox Scarlett Anaconda but I'm still not playing the MCC, I already have Halo CE-4 I have no reason to purchase the MCC or even play it on Game Pass.

Not always. I think theres a batman game and a few others that are BC but arent available digitally. So they could go that route. Or use their microsoft money ranging in the billions to take care of a few licenses. OR just disable the ability to take screenshots/vids/broadcast. They did this for the darkness as a workaround and its a worthy trade off. They even got it back on the xbox marketplace which was something of a miracle

Disgusting

I got it on steam before the take down, but yeah sure why not.

In that case let’s hope they can jump through some of those hoops to get requested fan favorites like JSRF.

Underrated game.

I don’t understand why they can make a universal OG Xbox emulator. The xbone should have the muscle to handle it and with their coding wizardry and inside knowledge about the hardware it should be doable.

>can’t make
Oops.

When was the last Xbox Original update?

Yeah! Theres a few ways to go about this. Sega and microsoft have always been partners. Phil spencer was just in japan again. They started an asian division last year. Lets not lose hope just yet. I think they know sega was a big name for the xbox and ninja gaiden was their premiere series until after ninja gaiden 2. So i think he talked to both sega and tecmo and maybe arranged something

April 2018. Its possible this isnt even for xbox originals. This could just be a fat batch of 360 games. I think someone spotted infinite undiscovery and star ocean 4 popping up on xbox live recently for example

Actual BC for their nextBox - by that I mean I can play from the CD instead of needing to have files recompiled. A software emulator, which I have more faith of MS doing better than Sony due to the breadth of software engineers they have.
Of course, with how much the Windows team hates the Xbox team, I wouldn't be surprised if they won't be allocated many to help with the endeavor.

You can't enhance the BC games without recompiling the games from DVD. The emulator needs to download those files first, and given how well the hardware emulator runs right now it would really be more trouble than it's worth to develop a software-level emulator and make it so it can run those games at 4K, both 360 and OG.

There should be a basic BC option at least, that while it doesn't give the game enhancements, you can play, say, Otogi 2 or something on it. Some niche titles that'll never ever see the light of day on the enhanced BC list of things to do.

When is it going to be hardware-based and not shitty emulation so I can just put my discs in and play them?

It's not even entirely the issue about enhancements, just creating an emulator that has a 0% universal failure rate is really difficult, especially when you're working with software-based emulation.

The current emulator is hardware-based, it emulates the entire console. That's why games need to recompile and download before they can play.

I understand that it's very difficult from a hobbyist perspective, but if it's from the same company that has the documents with them, it shouldn't be as difficult. I'm not saying it'd be easy as pie, but it wouldn't be as much of a pain in the ass as it would for hobbyists, who while dedicated, are working on reverse engineering from scratch with no documentation.

It is hardware based in a way. They don't have 100% of the Xbox and 360 components in there iirc, but they do have some aspects that lead to

I understand where you're coming from, and I can probably see a future where SOME games can be played without enhancements and instantaneously, but developing this emulator would leave less time for BC games to actually get approved on the program, which really sucks.
Also, while both the 360 and OG emulators are hardware based, 360 uses a part of the BIOS while OG only uses a remastered startup screen, no BIOS emulation.

You should read this. It's from one of the guys that coded the original OG Xbox to 360 emulator.
