Wouldn't the xbox theoretically be the easiest console to emulate?

Yeah, just because Halo 1 and 2 are on PC makes an Xbox emulator completely unnecessary...

Really? There're many exclusives on original Xbox that aren't available in other platforms...

So we have to use reverse engineering, guessing, and very few open source stuff. But, this also applies for GameCube and PS2 so why such a big gap between emulators ?

Not every system requires an equal amount of time and effort to reverse engineer. For all I know, the XBOX probably has some unique challenges that the GC and PS2 don't. I'll bet they turn out to be show-stoppers until people can sufficiently work through them.

I like Fusion Frenzy as much as the next Xbot, but I don't think the internet would bust a nut over it like when a Cemu/Citra video gets posted.

Are there even people actively involved/interested in trying to emulate this system? Not sure...

Yeah, actually. XBOX emulation saw some progress this year. Still a long ways off, but it's better than it was before. No joke, there's a Barbie Pony game that more or less runs perfectly

Guess we're on the right track then
