Are there any Decent Xbox or ps2 emulators yet

Now that the technology is pretty old, have there been any in developement that are sucessfull yet.

Heck, I'm still waiting for a viable Sega Saturn emu so I can run my older games in higher res.

I used one for Playstation 1 a while ago and I was really disapointed... the emulator emulates the actual speed of the system so you still get horrible framerates in the games that ran bad. If you want the game to run smoother, it just plays in fast motion in the places where the framerate drops.

The game Im thinking of specifically is King's Field. I bought the game and I still have my old Playstation but the game looks terrible and runs really slow on that little piece of crap. My PC makes it look 100x better but it still runs horrid.

Anyone know if theres any way to get around this with a newer emulator? Would a PS2 emulator run it any faster?

Whether or not you can do that depends on the game itself. You'd need the emulator to emulate a higher clock frequency, and then you'd need to make sure that the game itself doesn't relie entirely on the clock cycles themselves for its own frame timing. If it did, then you'd need to hack the game, which could get pretty ugly.

Yeah, its too bad that games did things this way even into the very late 90s (Im pretty sure they dont do this anymore). Totaly ruins any hope of future technology improving the experience of the game.

What exactly is it about consoles that make them hard to emulate, because I thought the xbox uses an nvidia gfx card. is it the way the processor works?

Well, Cassani isn't too bad (it's a hack of an offical emulator that Sega abandoned), but it does have issues with sound and framerate. Still, good enough to play through quite a few games.

Not sure about Xbox and PS2 emulators, it seems like recent consoles have been very hard to emulate. There's actually a Gamecube emulator out there, but it runs VERY slow (as in somewhere around 5 FPS on an A64 3700+).
