Comment on Xbox Backward Compatibility on PC

Neat. I wonder how they’re doing this though, because I’m assuming it’s just an Xbox emulator adding the games on PC. Or are they proper PC ports?

The Xbox One and Series use x86 CPUs and Radeon GPUs, so emulation is not necessary, it’s more likely a compatibility layer, similar to what Proton does to allow Windows games to run on Linux.

  This is for OG Xbox games though?

    To be fair the original Xbox uses x86 and a nvidia gpu, so not that different from the one and series either

    Both the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One/Series are using emulators to run OG Xbox games. Its called Xefu (Xenon Fusion Emulator).

    Same thing, the only Xbox that was not x86 was the 360.
