A free and open-source application that emulates the original Microsoft Xbox game console, enabling people to play their original Xbox games on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.
System Link
Networking is supported out of the box. Connect to other instances of xemu and even real Xboxes, locally or over the Internet.
Gamepad Support
Built on SDL2, xemu supports virtually all gamepads. Connect up to 4 controllers at any time, just like a real Xbox.
Snapshots (Save States)
No need to wait for checkpoints. xemu supports saving the current state and loading it back up at any time.
Render Scaling
Breathe new life into your original Xbox games by easily scaling up the resolution that games render at.
