Xbox exclusives coming soon to SteamDeck.
Dude OG Xbox was GOAT for emulation and entertainment. Kodi got its start there, as xbmc.
I'd be so excited to have that again.
Does this apply to X|S or just Xbone?
It only applies to the 2013 model of the original Xbox One. Later Xbox Ones have more stringent checks.
Emulating the former is good enough for games preservation (or whatever you decide to do with the games).
I still have an OG Xbox with an emulator and the SNES romset and Conker's Bad Fur Day on another partition (I did the mod to install a larger HDD). All it took was a hacked save and a Mechwarrior game.
Nice. I used Splinter Cell to mod mine.
I do too. I use it at least once a month and still love it. It will be a very annoying day when that hard drive finally fails.
The dcemulation scene walked so Xbox emulation could run emulated software in new an innovative ways ;3
Ah mate, that was a great community back in the day.
My duuuuude <3
It was MINDBLOWING to me hahaha. I’m thinking “BUT IT’S NOT EVEN A GD-ROM AND IT WORKS AND I CAN PLAY SECRET OF MANA?!”
Amazing stuff, the devs were a decent bunch too, I distinctly remember pestering a dev to create a save game loader that would write saves from a disk to a vmu on the irc channel for wraggster's dcemu forum. Might have to dig out my old Dreamcast if it still lives.
Plex too fwiw.
Well yes, but Plex started as a port of XBMC to run on Mac os; you installed XBMC directly on the Xbox, it turned your Xbox into a streaming box.
this would be funnier, were it not so sad
Oh wait, it's sad for Microslop so it's even funnier!!!!
Amazing! Let's take a look at all the exclusives for xbox!
Tumbleweed
Are there any XBOX One games that aren't also on PC? Steam Deck can already run most of those.
I guess there's Rare Replay, but all of those game are already playable on the Steam Deck individually.

Basically, nothing notable except Forza 5.
ironically, one of the xbox one games people are most interested in porting to pc is the legacy console edition of minecraft, a game famously already on pc!
tho with the recent source code leak of LCE idk if there’s still much enthusiasm
Ah, I didn't know about the others! Slim pickins like the PS5, although that has a few that are notably pretty good.
Well Rare Replay includes a few games in it that imo are fucking classics like Conker (but the best version is Live and Reloaded), Ghoulies, Battletoads, Banjo, Viva Pinata, but most of those are available on pc by other methods afaik, just not bundled with "Rare Replay" (which means Conker is better emulated on the xbox OG, because bot battles Squirrel v Bear.)
Halo 5
"but but but we put Halo 5 Forge on PC that's what you gamers wanted right?"
— Microslop, probably
I thought it was only the release version of the console that was vulnerable. Was there a breakthrough in the last two days?
