About Cxbx-Reloaded

Cxbx-Reloaded is an emulator for the original Microsoft Xbox. It runs Xbox games on Windows, and the project plans to add support for Chihiro, the arcade hardware based on the Xbox.

It needs a 64-bit Windows 7 or later system; 32-bit systems are not supported. On x86-64 Linux it can be run through Wine. It suits people who want to play original Xbox titles on a PC and are willing to accept that game compatibility varies.

  • Runs on Linux through Wine
  • Long-running project with a large commit history

Limitations

  • Requires 64-bit Windows 7 or later
  • No native Linux or macOS build
