Have you actually used a working Xbox 360 emulator? As far as I know they are all fake, and are just used to try to get you to download a virus onto your computer. In any case, their minimum requirements are absolute garbage, those are the absolute minimum specs to run the latest ports of console games, even if the emulator worked, on those minimum specs you would probably get 5FPS if you were lucky.WaitWHAT said:Absolute nonsense.

Even the most powerful desktop PC doesn't have the power necessary to emulate the current gen consoles, the PS4 and Xbone certainly don't have the necessary processing power to do software emulation of the PS3 or 360. The only way to do backwards compatibility would be with a hardware solution, basically stick a 360 or PS3 into the new consoles to make the old games work, and that would jack up the cost significantly. This is simply what happens when the console makers decide they want to change CPU architecture every god damn generation.
You can just about run it on hardware from 2006 onwards, with a few graphical tweaks. Heck, any mid-range computer made in the last 3 years or so should manage it fine. The next gen consoles (with an 8-core jaguar APU, 8GB of RAM and a modified HD 7850) should have no trouble whatsoever.
As for the recommended specs, it calls for a high clocked hexacore desktop CPU. The Jaguar is clocked much lower than that, relying heavily on core count and GPU computing to make up for the low speed. Problem is, you can only thread your software so much, and GPU computing is only going to get you so far. Even if your emulator is legit, the next gen consoles wouldn't likely be able to run it well unless you were able to overclock them by about 100%.
