X-box will destroy the PS2?!?!
« on: May 09, 2001, 02:39:00 PM »
I was talking to friends, old nintendo fans..

They said they were gonna buy the xbox.
when I asked why, they said that the Xbox was gonna come out with hardware that would enable it to play PS2 games!

PS2 Games on the Xbox?! :sconf:
They\'ll ruin us! after I bought the failure Sega Saturn, I can\'t stand to have another ruined console!

Tell me it isn\'t true! will their be pirate hardware for the Xbox??

no, it\'s not possible, I\'m not that much of a tech freak but I believe it has something to do with the fact that ps2\'s pipeline something is 46gig/sec while xbox\'s  is only 5.6,
and there are lots of other reasons why it\'s not possible, believe you me, it will never happen

Hmm. Most likely an official emulator will never be released but with the HDD people will most likely be able to play not only PS2\'s, but pretty much every other system\'s games. :(

Don\'t fret though, cause with the expansion HDD people will most likely be able to do the same with the PS2.

I\'m not gonna get into a tech comparison here, but I\'ve heard alot of times PS2 hardware is even more ***** to emulate.
PS2 games on XBOX. no

Dude snap out of it


A PentiumIII 700MHz processor could NEVER EVER EMULATE a PS2 game. SOny\'s technology is just not capable of being emulated by todays PC hardware.


no Ignorant your friends are pretty much boneheads.

On the otherhand hating Xbox without actually playing it is equally foolish.

Well, considering you need like a pII500+ to emulate the (??) 33mhz PSone, you probably can\'t emulate the PS2\'s far more complex emotion engine on a 750.  I haven\'t seen a PS2 emulator yet that runs on the net.

That is not possible.The PS.2\'s hardware is too different from the X-Box\'s normal x86 hardware.

The X-Box doesn\'t have the necessary memory bandwith nor does it have the vector units.

Those consoles a designed differently,MS chose conventonal hardware,and a known API,while Sony tried out something different (dynamic hardware instead of static hardware)

And Sony wouldn\'t be very happy if MS did that.

I believe it has something to do with the fact that ps2\'s pipeline something is 46gig/sec while xbox\'s is only 5.6,


Your confusing pipeline with bandwith.
The pipeline is basically how the data is processed.
For example a 4 stage pipeline would go something like this
Fetch-Store-Execute-Send
The deeper the pipeline is,the higher clock speeds the processor can reach.However the drawback of a deeper pipleline is that it takes more clock cycles to process the information so the high clock speeds aren\'t used like they would be on a processor with a lower pipeline.

(and I\'ve gone way off topic here so I\'ll stop :))
