The Xbox 360 console

The Xbox 360 is a console produced by Microsoft in 2005. It is notable for being the first console of the 7th generation. Later, the console's life saw several updates to its OS, the dashboard, to alter its appearance, as well as the option of a motion-sensing camera, the Kinect.

Comparisons

  • ex360e was made for super-high level emulation of Xbox Live Arcade titles developed with XNA Game Studio. It doesn't run anything.
  • exbox360 can't play anything yet.
  • Xenia is the emulator that's made it the furthest so far. Currently, it can only run two commercial games.

Emulation issues

NO EMULATORS ADVANCED ENOUGH TO RUN COMMERCIAL GAMES PROPERLY EXIST YET.
THAT YOUTUBE VIDEO IS PROBABLY A SCAM.
YOU CAN GET THE REAL HARDWARE OR A TIME MACHINE.

Due to requiring a large amount of resources (see Dolphin and PCSX2 for specifications for their respective consoles), as well as the hardware not being properly documented yet, there is currently no usable Xbox 360 emulator. However, there are a few emulators in their proof-of-concept stages right now.
