He never came back since he made it sometime in 2001-2002Ĭaustik got bored of cxbx (it was just a weird idea he came up with after all) and the project died in 2005 officially after he left it, some people though worked on it but the three other guys that made random updates to it vanished too, since then its been maintained by a guy called blueshogun, andddddd.

Xeon came and went as fast as it went, caustik and the guy behind xeon (_SF_) fought because he thought xeon stole cxbx code, everyone booed him even though he didnt.

The sad thing about them is they arent actually emulators, just dumb patchers that try to route all calls to the xbox's hardware to that of windows, that really isnt emultion, but people got hopeful from it and rallied behind it since caustik (guy behind cxbx) came up with the idea as an experiment. So far theres only been 3 emulators for the xbox, one is cxbx, the other is dxbx which is basically cxbx but rewritten in a different programming language and nothing more, and ofcourse xeon, which works like cxbx but only plays Halo : Combat Evolved, and just the first level of it at that, and incredibly glitchy too. While emulation has been protected by numerous court rulings over the years, the developers decided that wasn't a fight worth fighting.Īnd what was that emulator called? Ive never heard of microsoft going mad over anyone making an emulator, if they would WINE and DOSBox would have been nuked on day one lol There was an attempt at an Xbox emulator very early in development MSFT went a little ballistic though.
