XQEMU

Changed the part I wrote about game compatibility, as it no longer represents the emulator in its current state. Also cleaned up some awkward wording.

XQEMU is an [[Xbox]] emulator that had started development relatively recently. The project is actually based off of [http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page QEMU], an open-source computer virtualizer. The thing that makes this emulator different from the other attempts at Xbox emulation is that XQEMU uses low-level emulation (since QEMU itself is a low-level emulator), while previous Xbox emulator attempts used high-level emulation. This comes with it's own benefits and downsides compared to high-level emulation, but it does allow for greater accuracy – and in turn – greater compatibility down the road. It's also one of the two Xbox emulators being actively worked on, the other being [[Cxbx]].
XQEMU is at a very early stage right now. Only one commercial game, Smashing Drive, Few games can run on it—and it, and most of the ones that's with do have low speed and heavy glitches. However, the emulator seems to be steadily growing, and it seems to be our only hope for a decent Xbox emulatoremulation. Right now you can only get the emulator by compiling it from the GitHub repository.
