Well I didn't name it so I can't tell you why they called it that, but
dxbx is an original XBox
--not to be confused with the newer XBox 360-- emulator for Windows. It uses
Direct3D from DirectX 8 for graphics and emulates the pixel shaders. It also impliments many of the original XBox's APIs, contains an XBox executable viewer and successfully emulates many of the XBox SDK available samples. The project is open source hosted at
www.sourceforge.net.
There has been quite a lot of development taking place as shown on the project's website. The fairly new emulator is only at version 0.4 and they themselves will admit that they are a long ways away from perfect emulation, but with time and effort it could eventually become as functional as some of the great emulators of the past. There is lots of information provided on their site and all the planning really shows in their rather large and expansive FAQ page.
