Xemu original Xbox emulator's new v0.5 update adds audio support, better BIOS compatibility
Progress on Xbox emulation is coming along, as the team behind the emulator xemu have released a new update. The fledgling original Xbox emulator has reached version 0.5, which adds a variety of new features, most interesting of which being that it can play sound now, because as of this new update, xemu has preliminary audio support. There's a video that showcases some of the additions and the emulator's current performance, with titles like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Ninja Gaiden Black, and Halo: Combat Evolved running in a somewhat playable state. It's an impressive feat for the notoriously sparse Xbox emulation scene, and the emulator is coming along nicely towards its eventual full v1.0 release one day.
