Homebrew Xbox 360 NES Emulator
January 28th, 2007 Posted in Business by George Lester-Pearson
A developer with a lot of free time on his hands, has developed a homebrew NES emulator for the Xbox 360 using the XNA framework. However, you need to be a member of the XNA creator’s club and also have a PC running Windows (of course).
“It runs at 60% or 70% of normal speed on the 360, so it’s playable but slow. There’s probably some very easy optimizations and cleanups to be done still”
Although that is good for a “few hours” work, it does beg the question as to why anyone would do this instead of just running the emulator on the PC. It does however serve as an interesting tech demo. You can keep up with development at the Google code page.
