emulation of the original Xbox isn't really a viable option.

Uhhh....yes it is?

I meant at full speed with 100% compatibility. Plus there's a pretty good chance that you'd need a pretty beefy PC for original Xbox emulation.

Other than that, I bought Call of Duty: Black Ops II for PC. Now I can play Zombies mode on the go.

Then you should have said that instead of "viable", because what you describe isn't what the word "viable" means.

I meant at full speed with 100% compatibility. Plus there's a pretty good chance that you'd need a pretty beefy PC for original Xbox emulation.

The PC I built a decade ago can run it at full speed with ease, and a $200 computer from Best Buy can run it at decent speed. You definitely don't need a beefy PC; a bologna PC at best.

[REPO Man]

I'm not exactly in the loop when it comes to original Xbox emulation but I'd imagine any PC that can't emulate PS2 and GameCube games at 100% speed might have a harder time with original Xbox games.

Also, I scored Welcome to ParadiZe for PS5 yesterday.

So you were commenting on something you have zero information about. Great job. Have a gold star.

[REPO Man]

I didn't say I had zero information.

...I didn't quite find the specific Sega stuff I was looking for at SEGE, but I think that I still did alright. The first things I found were to DS games my kids asked about, I was sort of surprised I didn't have that last game in the original Layton trilogy. All of the Xbox stuff I kind of stumbled across at various vendors, but are games I've had my eye on for a little bit. Serial Cleaner and Vengeful Moonrider I grabbed from the LRG Retail shop on my way down to Greenville. I know everyone isn't a fan of LR, but it's a nice shop and worth checking out if you're in the area (I try to make the trip down at least once or twice a year).

...a super clean SNES was my best find at SEGE though. I've been back and forth on getting a console (I'm still kicking myself for missing the Super NT) and after checking this one out a bunch of times during the first day of the con, and then coming back the next morning, the vendor made me an offer I thought was a good deal...so now I have a new system to collect for
