    Genuinely surprising, considering the OG -> 360 “backwards compatibility” was ahead-of-time recompilation. Not a proper decomp - more like Dolphin’s shader cache. The hard part of that is ensuring you’ve hit every code-path the game could possibly run.

    If they’ve already done that work for a significant chunk of the library, it seems weird to build a proper emulator… and then still lie by calling it “backwards compatibility” that’s “compatible” with four fucking games.

    Oh yeah, I heard they were doing this and adding achievements. Not surprised they’re using emulators, though. I bet it’s a modified version of something fan made, as they tend to do things like that.

    The thread I was reading was more about how uninteresting and forced official achievements are though (especially with 1000 pts per game rule making no fucking sense lol). I’m still stuck waiting for an OG Xbox emulator to support RetroAchevements.
