Okay, so I am a die hard forza fan and there is really no game that I have played or seen on the pc that comes close to it.(I know project cars is coming..) anw so I was thinking, cause I am cheap and don't like consoles, since there is no emulator for xbox360 or xbox one, cant we just build one? I mean theoretically an xbox is a computer, now I have no idea what specific components it  has inside but has anyone thought to try "create" and xbox pc (same idea as a hackintosh I gues)? and is there a way to flash its software onto a hard drive? :o

 

I have no idea how to get into this but I would love to see if it is possible and what it would take:)

No. What you are saying would be highly illegal. There are legal projects to create an xbox 360 emulation. However, performance is terrible. This due to the fact that the software has to be reverse engineered from open source information.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

Im pretty sure that the 360 doesn't use x86 architecture so you wouldnt be able to put the os onto a x86 PC. Thus you'd have to go to software emulation to get the proper ISA interaction with the hardware.

Rig: AMD FX 8350, Asus Sabertooth 990fx, 16gb Corsair Vengence, Gigabyte R9 290 4GB, Noctua NH-12S, Samsung 840 Evo, WD 1TB Black, Corsair C70, Monitors: Samsung Syncmaster SA350, Acer 193w, Mouse: Cyborg RAT 5. Window 7 Pro

Laptop: Asus x75vd, Intel i5 3210M, 8gb RAM, Nvidia 610m 1gb, 750gb hdd

should of clarified but  I assumed ppl would know I was mostly refering to the xbox one (in terms of creating one, as "next gen consoles share pc architecture x86)

If you could pull the software from the system it might be possible... Not sure if it's legal though...

 

Driver issues are also something to consider seeing that the xbone software is made for only one set of hardware....
