well...
i was just stating some reasons. not the reasons for coding all emulators ever. those reasons apply for any emulator, things like:
great games,
the challenge,
the revival of a "dead" system,
etc.
well, maybe not the last one.
but i was just saying specifically emuing the xbox would be great over ps2/gc for those reasons listed.
i have more reasons now that i think about it.
linux people hate microsoft, and might join in and help code the thing solely to piss redmond off.
saving all the chinese children slave laborers by circumventing the purchase and therefore sale of many xbox consoles, by being an alternative to the actual console.
blowing the lid off the realm of what's possible with computers, again.
pushing the technology envelope in computers (people will upgrade to successfully emulate the xbox, hell i'm upgrading to run 1964...)
creating a new development community, spurring a new generation of coders and hackers.
getting those ugly green and black boxes out of the living room.
using whatever controller you want, from whatever country (see recent /. article)
there's dozens of other reasons to do this. if i had the money to rip apart an xbox, i'd start working on it right now. someone wanna buy me an xbox to destroy?
:devil: petting zoo?
