Yea I've been reading all these topics about windows on the XBOX. I am just gonna flatly ask what is the best method to run a 3D PC game run on my xbox. I have a xenium chip if that matters at all.

the best (only) way right now is under linux. I think tux racer runs (from old xbox linux pics) but I can't say what runs well etc as I haven't tried it.) I dont think too many windows 3d games will do well in xbox linux, not sure how far along the 3d drivers are for the xbox GPU under linux.

you could always run it on a real PC though

xbox linux is the closest but I hesrd it dont have the right video drivers or somet so u cant actually get proper ones workin


n e way

look at the specs of xbox compared to standard pc games today lol


ill just keep usin my athlon 3200 pc atm

games run rine with 768mb ram on my pc

just think of far cry on the xbox with 64 mb ram

linux doesnt have 3d support

i dont like linux for 1 thing its slow and another it sucks up HDD space!

which distro do you use?

and its much faster than Windows!!

About the tuxracer screenshot (and it's not good news):

3D does work, but.. it used software rendering; it ran at 1 fps.

They're probobly never going to get 3D working, so don't hold your breath.

If you must bug someone about it, on OFTC in #xboxlinux, talk to dmp. Gimli sometimes works on video stuff. TJFontaine might also help.

i just got stuck "reading" modboxmaster's sig

anyway pc games suck
play console 3d games
like xbox games
those are the great 3d games

no im also pretty sure that the first games were in fact on pcs.

"how to port pc games to xbox"
That up there is the question...(if it is possible, i think not.)

but if there is anyone out there who has ripped there xbox apart looking for their lost kitten, please consider this request/curiosity like another scavenger game for lost change underneath the sofa.

games started in arcades, went into "home arcades"(consoles), and now, only since the very late 80's have they been on computers.

This thread has gone way off topic. Who really cares where games began.

Games are great/sucky on both PC and consoles! The things is, they are usually different on the different plattforms, because of the marked, and the hardware. Only xbox can compare to a PC hardware, and thats why games on xbox often look much like pc-games. For example, the gamecube is much more arcade then a xbox, mostly because of the marked, but also because of the hardware used.

Emulating games from a not-100% greatly working linux for a xbox machine, is not to prefer, when you have a computer. It cant possible be better then emulating directly either. 3D games take so much resources from the system, so it has to be greatly ported, before its playable.

As long as anyone can port "3DO-Heroes-III-Of-Might-and-Magic" to the Xbox, then I will get rid of my computer. Are PC Emulators for Xbox fully developed or still under development?

Games began pretty much on the DEC PDP 1 with Spacewar, not quite a PC as you'd think of one. Some of you really need to get to know your gaming history. ;)Fun fact - Even PONG was not technically a videogame (software)but almost entirely ran in hardware.

hey you can port any pc game to the xbox as long as you have the source code to it lol and some programing skills. so saying you cant was dead wrong.

Sorry to update a year-old thread, but it didn't -- the first true game was on an ancient sixties mainframe. Some students were bored at a particular university (can't remember which) and wrote a simple space shooter. However the first popular game was called "star trek," which came out in the seventies and it, too, was an early mainframe game that was soon banned because so much computing time was lost because of it. There are still some C and BASIC ports of it today if you're interested -- it's pretty addictive.
