>> or Xbox emulation, which is nonexistant

Wouldn't one be easy to write being that the Xbox was based on a PC? Or at least a WINE-like layer instead of a true emulator?

"based" is the key word there - The Xbox 1 1 has a CPU, GPU and an APU that are almost-but-not-quite like regular PC processing units.

Couple this with the fact that there's no documentation about how any of these work, it would take a lot of man hours and guesswork to start approximating how the system works.

Interestingly, XENIA (360 emulator) is coming on a lot better, and it's looking like it will be able to use the 360's backwards compatibility feature to play Xbox 1 1 games before we ever get a dedicated Xbox 1 1 emulator.

I don't know. It's quite odd.
