aX360e is a new Xbox 360 emulator on Android from a familiar name, and you can start testing it for free starting today.

It’ll be jank for a while but nice to see progress for PS3 and X360 on Android. Someday I’ll play Lost Odyssey again. Still have that disc. Still have a disc for Eternal Sonata

        Needed a new power cable and controllers. It wasn’t super expensive but it’s the timing. Just 2 weeks earlier and we probably would have just tried this.

    Damn! Core memory unlocked… Years ago, I had the ability to buy only ONE game from the $10 bin at GameStop, Lost Odyssey or Mass Effect. I went Mass Effect and never looked back. Now that I have the means, I need to get a copy of LO and see what it’s about.

    Thanks, friend.

      Lost Odyssey is such a great game. Created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy.

      It definitely deserves a PC port, if only so it can be used on modern systems easily and more people can get the opportunity to try it.

    Android is turning into the gaming system, you can play Xbox, windows Nintendo like all of them, ps3, give it a few years and you will have every game in history in your pocket.

      I’ve got a Retroid Pocket with a full 500GB SD Card that plays more games than I’ll ever have time for. The fact that it’s got built in controls makes it well worth the not too expensive price.

      I’ve been messing around with GameNative and Winlator. On some of the better snapdragon cpus you can run a fair amount of steam/windows games on android now.

    Pure thought experiment, but given that the 360 is literally just a dinkified x86 PC running a hacked-to-the-gills version of Windows, what’s the feasibility of some dedicated nerd stripping all of the DRM stuff out of the XBox system OS and just running it on native x86 hardware?

    Just looking at it from a mile in the sky, here, that seems slightly less silly than trying to emulate an entire x86 system (or at least the relevant bits of it) on mobile ARM of all things. That can’t be good for performance…

    Edit: Actually I tell a lie. The 360 had a PowerPC processor, not x86. It was the OG XBox that had a Pentium 3 and a basically off the shelf GeForce 3 in it.

    I’m really excited when this is all stable and good in like 5 years and I can regularly surprise friends with nostalgia they can have on their phone

    I need good 360 emulators so I can finally play blue dragon. If mistwalker was funded by Sony instead of Microsoft so they’d be on PlayStation, I bet we’d still have both series chugging on wonderfully. Sorely lacking classic high budget turn based final fantasy alternative and there’s nothing else high budget like dragon quest

    The thing that absolutely sucks about all this emulation stuff is how it’ll be years before this becomes stable enough and enough games become playable… so long as you are on the highest end android devices available at the time.
