Zophar's Domain is where I go for emulator news. They tend to have fairly up to date information, though even where they don't they link the web page of the developing team. Hence, they might be a day behind reporting a Pete's GPU release (for PlayStation emulators), but their link to Pete's webpage is right next to the download link for their most current version.
This game is why I was looking for the emulator. I have seriously been considering getting an xbox just to play that game. But it's coming for PC apparently, and come hell or high water, I WILL have a copy of it.

Yeah, curiously, very modified and customed Linux core is what XBOX IS. That is why there is such a PITA with XBOX emulation development. Linux and XP do things just enough different that makeing the emu work with an XP hosting base and an XBOX ROM is a real PITA. ROMS are not legally free, cuz copyrighted.

Actually, you’re entirely wrong. The XBox runs a stripped down version of Windows 2K + a stripped down version of DirectX. I have many mag. articles with it's developers discussing this very fact.
The problem with making XBoX emulation work is the fact that enumerating the slightly-different-than-PC hardware is difficult. Couple this with the extreme encryption on almost every hardware function, and the high dependence on the XBoX's BIOS, and you have problems.
OK im new to all of this and i have a Question about Emulators. What are Emulators? is it some kind of program that allows you to play XBOX games on a computer or is it something you install in the XBOX to play PC Games? i know you must have answered this question time and time again but i couldnt find anything on it. Hopefully its not a stupid question and hopefully you can help me understand this in laymans terms lol. THANKS guys/girls:thumbup

emulators are programs which allow you to play games (roms usually) from other systems. For instance you can download an n64 emulator, and then download n64 roms such as super mario 64 and play them on your computer.

Bear in mind that emulators are legal, but downloading and using ROM images of games and apps that you do not own is illegal.
It's not necessarily games. I run a 68k Macintosh emulator (Basilisk II) on most of my Windows PCs that I run MacOS 8.1 and most of my old Mac software with.

Why the hell would Microsoft use Linux?
