Homebrew Question Does Mega Man X Legacy Collection use emulators?

If so it should have a PSX emulator, SNES, etc. I wonder if we can inject things. Has anyone explored the contents yet? It's out there.

Most of the time, the emulators are good enough to run the specific games they need to but are lacking major features most community based emulators have. With that in mind, it may not be worth learning how to decrypt and disassemble it just for a shoddy emulator.

It does happen, but as Vorde said, it's most likely a really trimmed emulator that only supports those bits those particular games need. It'll be interesting to see what they did, but I wouldn't hold out hope it'll be a viable option for injection.

Bump now that the game has been out for a while. Collection 1 is definitely a PSX emulator. Emulator settings can be accessed when you press "-" at any time. There are graphics filters and screen size settings. Can someone use an XCI explorer? I don't think there's one out for OSX or I would. I want to try injecting a 3d game like THPS2 and see if it will run.

Edit: Collection 2 would have a PS2 emulator.

the pc version is confirmed to have a working snes emulator and can inject/repack roms into it. x7 and x8 had pc versions, so unlikely they ported the ps2 version and opted for pc versions.

It will be interesting when they release Sega Ages games if we can inject ROMs into some Sega emulators and arcade systems.
