This page contains information of console emulation history, For a list of independent updates look at [[Template:News#Previous years|emulator news from previous years]].
Emulation, in general, gained popularity around 1995-1997, [[PC_Emulator_Comparisons#x86_CPU.27s|mostly due to increases in CPU speed]], the increased usage of the Internet, and the increased number of decent emulators.
Activision released the “Atari 2600 Action Pack” for Windows 3.1 on June 1995. It was the first Atari emulator known. Later emulators appeared in 1996, “VCS2600” and “Stella”. <ref>

Xbox emulation dates as far back as 2002.* [[Cxbx]] was released as a proof of concept on in August 2002. It can do some test apps, and later commercial games. Discontinued in October 2015.* Xeon, released in 2003, was the first Xbox emulator whose first version can could play games, but the only game that can it could boot and show graphics was Halo CE.
* Dxbx is a fork of Cxbx, released in 2008.
* [[Cxbx-Reloaded]] is a fork of Cxbx, that went open-source in April 2016. Because little work has been done on the original CXBX, its development is very slow (equals 15% playable titles), and like older Xbox emulators, it didn't need a BIOS dump to work.* [[XQEMU]] was the first low-level Xbox emulator. Its first commit It was on February 1, 2009released around mid-late 2012. It emulated games at slow speeds. Its last commit was on in December 2019.* [[xemu]] is a continuation of XQEMU, released somewhere in February 2020. It can play 5x more titles than Cxbx-Reloaded, and needed an requires a BIOS dump to work. ====External links====*[https://youtu.be/aiWH4TcFCAY MVG: The Current State of Original Xbox Emulation on the PC]
