Could PS3 emulate XBOX 360?

[gimpyjr]

The PS3 is clearly more powerful than the 360. (if the MGS4 trailer wasn't proof enough than your beyond help).

Anyway since the PS3 is 3 times more powerful than 360 would it be possible to make an emulator for 360 on the PS3?

I say this because the 360 is using a G5 variant processor. Mac OSX is based on the G5. so if the cell processor can run OSX and linux than it must be partly similar to the G5.

Also the 360's cpu has 3 cores running at 3.2 GHZ the PS3 has 7 cores running at the same speed.

If an emulator could be made it would probably be run off the memory stick like the PSP homebrew is. Sombody could write a plugin to use the PS3's blu-ray drive to run the 360 games. Also since microsoft is planning to release a USB version of the controller you could plug the 360 controller in to PS3 and play the games in the emulator.

Give me your thoughts. It's probably not possible but it's a cool concept.

Gears Of War on PS3 baby!

There is absolutely no way to know that at the moment.

just pure speculation buddy

Really doubt it, but could be possible at very low speeds.

but by your logic the xbox should be able to emulate the ps2, as it has 3 times the processor speed, but as far as im aware there arent any emu's that run well enough to work.

Also, kinda off topic but what does cores mean? i don't understand any of this, does it have 7x 3.2ghz cpu's or what?

in theory it is most likely "possible", but would anyone attempt it? Probably not, seeing as there is no way you'd get a decent frame rate.

it is also "possible" for a PS2 to emulate an Xbox, or an Xbox to emulate PS2, etc.. but would anyone actually attempt it? No, because there is just not a chance to get full speed, or even decent speeds.

I ported a gamecube emulator to the dreamcast. doesnt mean crap though.

probably get 0.01 fps even running Snes emulators on todays consoles can be a struggle at times.

This is just obvious console favouritism. "OMFG liek, PEE-ESSfree is betor@!~ lEts eggsatureate everyfink becos PS3 $#@! out lator it MSUT be bettre LOLOLZORMOZM!"

You're stupid. This whole thread resonates with idiocy. Saying "Can the PS3 run an ExkzBockz360 emulatorz?" is like saying "Can the EckzBockz run a Ps2 emulator?".

You can dream, we just don't need to ****ing know about it.

[Cap'n 1time]

dont get too comfortable with thoes specs either.. Sony likes to make $#@! up. Example: PS2.


oh, and with quzars logic you can technically emulate an Xbox on an Xbox... that dosnt mean $#@! though. and little videos of the future metal gear (probably renders) dont mean anything.

Actually i wasn't stating a hypothetical, i really DID port gcube to the dreamcast, got it to run but couldnt get it past a few seconds of running.

Also, console emulation on the console, there is a Dreamcast emulator for the dreamcast. It was written in order to be able to have 100% accurate emulation with the ability to take debug information.

This thread is most definetly beating a horse fetus. (the horse ain't even born yet!)
