XBox 360 Emulator?

    Microsoft has now created an XBox 360 Emulator for the XBox One! Does that mean there is a good chance we will see one for PC soon?
    the XBox One architecture is almost identical to that of a traditional PC. Its even running a Windows OS!
    Would it be far fetched to think that it shouldn't be to hard (for someone who know and works on emulators) for someone to pull the code and program from an XBox One and reverse engineer it to work on PC?

    I just wanted to hear some other thoughts on this!

    possible, yes. probably difficult though since the xbone software is likely encrypted.

    will be good if they do a xbox first generation emulator first.

    that's actually harder because the hardware is somewhat different from a pc.

    no, its similar to a pc but its modified a bit. It's a celeron converted to a RISC cpu. xbone is actual pc hardware

    I did not know that, intersting.
    It would be cool when we see a decent working xbox360 emulator.

    When the time comes, would I have to down load the game ISO or would I be able to stick the game disk in my drive and play it from there?
    Speaking of that, can I play my PS1 and PS2 game disks directly with my emulators?
