Video of Frogger 2 running (although extremely slow).

Ben Vanik has released a video for Xenia, showcasing his emulator running a commercial game for the first time.



A few weeks ago, we informed you about 'Project Xenia', a WIP Xbox 360 emulator for PC.

Well, this week the emu author, Ben Vanik, released a video showcasing Frogger 2 -released on Xbox Live Arcade in 2008- running on it...although very slow.

(Gameplay starts at 6:08)

This is the first game to run in the emulator. It's currently using my debug interpreter, so it's extremely slow for now. Minor graphical glitches (missing text, some screen clearing issues), but otherwise works. Riveting, I know, but ya gotta start somewhere

Quick answers:

• Yes, it's real.
• Yes, it'll get faster.
• No, [game X] doesn't run yet. This is the only game that does.
• No, you can't have an executable. If anyone claims to have one for download it is likely a virus.

Big thanks to Rick (http://blog.gib.me/) for the help!

This, along with the PS3 emulator one (RPCS3), are still Proof of Concept, but it's always nice to see some progress.
