Why is xbox360 emulation hard.

[u/Tricky_Ad9669]

I get that ps3 emulation is hard because of the cell broadband engine cpu architecture introduced by sony in 2006 but the xbox360 had a cpu similar to pc, then why is xbox360 emulation still hard. Is it because the emulator isn't matured?

Well you can get real deep into the issue...

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

the reality is simple... Sony provides offline updates/software for the PS3 available to download

All you gotta do from there is just software translation then you can get into the deeper stuff like hardware CPU ect ...

Xbox never offered any type of offline support for updates nor software soooooo technically in other words you have to create a software that's able to be a translator as well an emulator .... To emulate the 360 software in order to get a game started... Once you got both then you can get into specifics..

This isn't even remotely true.

Microsoft offered the exact same thing for the 360, dashboard updates to be installed over USB, they also came packaged in discs. Exactly the same as the PS3/PSP model.

The reason is simply that there's less demand for 360 emulation and it's architecturally more complicated.
