Right, compiling/converting it into a Windows PE binary with all of the relevant libraries implemented.
Isn't it more like Xbox to Exe convertor rather than Xbox emulator then? I believe that was the main idea of the existing emulator of the very first Xbox console and even then I think it was said it is not really emulator, just a program that attempts to translate instructions of Xbox executables into standard executables for Windows, as from my understanding they were supposedly similar and therefore easy to convert. I don't remember what was the reason why the developers stopped developing it but maybe they found some unexpected limits of the emulation method as a whole that will eventually prevent them the correct emulation of all the games on that console and fixing that would basically mean re-building the whole emulator from scratch by using different emulation method? Well if that was the case, that could be a great setback considering the time and energy it would take and time and energy they already lost in developing the first emulator. Just a thought.
Rpcs3 team, I believe in you, you can do this!
