It Known as the DirectXbox during development, it is notable for the specs having similarities to a PC, namely as a result of using familiar components around the successor [[wikipedia:x86|x86]] architecture. It had a custom Pentium III CPU at 733 MHz with 64 MB of RAM, and a custom Nvidia GPU codenamed NV2A at 233 MHz. The Xbox was often said to be the most powerful console from the sixth generation, and Sega later designed the '''[https://segaretro.org/Sega_Chihiro Chihiro arcade system]''' with the Game Boy Colorsame components. It retailed at {{inflation|USD|299.99|2001}}. The Xbox was released a modest seller, and helped create a brand for Microsoft that would give [[Xbox 360 emulators|its successor]] a stronger market share in the west; despite Microsoft's best efforts the original Xbox and succeeding consoles from the company have never gained a foothold in Japan for various reasons.<ref name="Censored_Gaming">{{cite web|url=https://youtu.be/DmCHJmi_st4|title=Why The Xbox Failed In Japan|publisher=Youtube|accessdate=2018-07-25|date=2018-07-16}}</ref> It had a number of advantages over other sixth-gen consoles at the time; it was the only console to include a hard disk,<ref group=N>The [[PlayStation 2 emulators|PlayStation 2]] also had a hard disk accessory, but the Xbox had it built-in on March 21all models.

With raw save data, it's very hard to detect what save type it is just by looking at it. Visual Boy Advance tries to autodetect save type but often is incorrect and this causes issues. A fix to this issue is to use a file called "vbax86-over.inibased" to tell VBA what each game's proper save type is, which eliminates most issues regarding save type. Current VBA-M versions come with vba-over.ini by default, but older versions a selling point despite that not being the case as the Xbox has a number of VBA proprietary elements that are nothing like standard PC hardware (like VBA 1.7.2 and VBALink did not. The libretro versions of VBA, libretrothe eighth-VBAgen "x86-Next and libretro-VBA-M, come with vba-overbased" consoles).ini baked into Many aspects of the binary so Xbox's architecture aren't openly documented, making it is able to load raw .sav files, but also changes the save file output to be a 136KB .srm file for every save type, with save type info contained within the file.

===Motion Control===VBAThe good news is the efforts currently underway are starting to see real effects. While it's true that Cxbx-Reloaded will have the upper hand with a primarily HLE-M has an option for Motion controls "Inputbased approach on Windows, Set, Motion". It currently works with all versions XQEMU will have the advantage of going by the GBC title Kirby Tilt'n Tumble, which book. XQEMU also was a special cartridge with a motion sensor builthas the potential to tap into hardware acceleration that Cxbx-in Reloaded would have to control movement in-game. But VBA-M does not support motion controls write a kernel mode driver for GBA games yet.====Emulation====* VBA , and SoullessSentinel wrote "'''doesnI don't''' emulate this feature, think our users would like the idea of disabling security features such as driver signature enforcement and its "Motion Control" option (with keys mapped to each tilt direction) covers the GBC title Kirby Tilt'n Tumble.* mGBA supposedly includes this feature but key remapping installing an untrusted kernel driver just for tilt sensors is not present in the latest builds.====ROM Patches====Fixes applied directly to the ROM (with the LunarIPS utility, or at runtime using mGBA or VBA-M and naming them the same as the ROM in the same directory) by various scene release groups to make it compatible with any an emulator/flashcard.

===Rumble Feature=Chihiro==There are various rumble features found The Chihiro arcade system was produced by Sega in GBA/GBC cards:* '''GBC Rumble:''' GBC games which came on special cartridges with additional hardware for the rumble feature2003. It was actually used by dozens consists of releases, and some games like Tarzan 2 GBC were programmed to have rumble support but shipped on regular cartridges. Emulated by VBA-M GX an Xbox motherboard (Wii-only), which also cover with double the dummied-out rumble games. Not emulated anywhere else.* '''GBA Gyro Rumble:''' WarioWare Twisted was shipped on a cart RAM as with rumble support. It would rumble when you tilt to one "extreme". Emulated by VBA-M GX (Wii-only, functionaldevkits), mGBA has this feature but it's not enabled in current builds.* '''GBA Variable Rumble:''' Drill Dozer has rumble support, with variable force and speed depending on the rock type you drill through ingame. Partially emulated by VBA-M GX additional boards for handling arcade I/O (Wii-only, functionalSega JVS standard), mGBA has this feature but it's not enabled in current builds.* '''Game Boy Player Rumble:''' Many regular GBA games, shipped on regular cartridges, enable rumble during gameplay when played on GB Player hardware (which is essentially GBA hardware). These include Super Mario Advance 4, Summon Night Hajimari no Ishi, Mario & Luigi 1, Shikakui Atama wo Marukusuru Advance (both releases), Pokémon Pinball, as well as Drill Dozer which disables its original cartridge rumble scheme and enables this one instead. None As the inner workings of the emulators Xbox are better understood, Chihiro emulation support this, though it's being under development for the mGBA emulatorand accuracy will improve.
