<blockquote>''"The Xbox kernel doesn't address many hardware devices. It interacts with a clock, listens to a few hardware interrupts, but otherwise mainly implements hundreds of API's that user code can call for various tasks. There's not much hardware involved with that, and thus [our] current kernel is for the most part just another, replacement implementation of those Xbox kernel API's. That's why the kernel is best not described as "HLE" or "LLE", but simply as "kernel", because it's not patching Xbox software, nor emulating Xbox hardware devices, it's merely an alternative implementation."''<br/>-PatrickvL<ref>{{cite web|url=https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded began its life as a fork /Cxbx-Reloaded/pull/2116#discussion_r554439083 |title=Pull Request: Add Pull Request Labeler Support |publisher=GitHub |author=PatrickvL |accessdate=2021-01-22 |date=Jan 10, 2021}}</ref></blockquote>Cxbx-Reloaded reimplements each of the Xbox's components so that the <abbr title="Xbox Executable">XBE</abbr> files can run directly on Windows. This process is akin to [[CxbxWine]] or [[TeknoParrot]], with added 64-bit support. Work is currently underway only the complexity has expanded greatly since the developers have to backaccount for the Xbox's memory map, a very purpose-port some of built graphics card, and the improvements made from Dxbxother custom hardware components."

It opened sometime around mid-2016 but then closed in early 2017 when xbes removed from pirated games were anonymously classified as playable despite that not being the case even on legitimate copies. Until GUI a redesign is ready for the public, the link redirects year later because it was deemed "too slow to the GitHub repositoryplay games at acceptable speeds".</ref>* [https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/gameCxbx-compatibilityReloaded/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc GitHub's game issues repository]*[https://guivanrv.github.io/cxbx-reloaded-compatibility-list/ Auto compilation] of game issues on GitHub repo <ref group=N>Please wait as it loads in all active issues.
