Backward compatibility, a big deal, & technically difficult (Gaming)

by dogcow , Hiding from Bob, in the vent core., Wednesday, June 17, 2015, 14:26 (3451 days ago) @ Kermit

Apparently, they've built a software version of the 360 (i.e., emulation).

So, traditional emulation then. Wow. So, he mentions "putting the game through the program". I wonder if they're recompiling it to native instructions... I'd love to hear more of the technical details behind it & I'll be interested in the performance of the emulation. However, I am sad to hear you can't use original kinect games with it though. :(
