You can buy these through the XBOX app on your PC. They seem to be between $5 and $10 each, and function pretty much like the console versions. Multiplayer games also look like they retain that functionality, and ones with split-screen still have that as well. These appear to be faithful ports, and I wish they weren't locked to the XBOX ecosystem, but if you want to support efforts like this to bring older games to new generations, this is a way to do it, along with initiatives like the game conservation efforts at GOG.

    The idea of playing Xbox Morrowind on a PC…

    native controller support is the only upside i can think of

    Pretty much. OpenMWs implementation of controller support still isn't great, the Xbox menus definitely were immensely easier to navigate since they were made for the platform.

    But regardless, this is still great progress for preservation of original Xbox games.

    After looking the only stand out feature is AutoHDR, but you can use SpecialK to do that (better) on OpenMW anyway.

    You could probably make it work in MGE XE, but you'd need to use something like d3d9on12 first.

    The reason I've never fully gotten back into morrowind as an adult is because i want a controller interface like the xbox version. Every mod that tries to add something similar always has some compromise that eventually gets on my nerves enough to just stop playing it

    Lots of those games were always playable on PC. Cool to see timesplitters though!

    I guess these are the XBOX versions of the games. Because some of the titles are available on Steam already. And yes, if we add Xemu into the discussion, then most of these games should be playable already.

    Xemu rules. I used it earlier this year to emulate Blinx 2 and JSRF

    Really any of the emulators (Dolphin, RPCS3, PCSX2, OpenGOAL, Xemu) will make you feel like an all-powerful gaming god. At least that's how I felt when I could drop a save state and pick up from pretty much any moment that I left off, speed up the gameplay so it's in a kind of "fast-forward" mode, and other things.

    Its still good for preservation of art. Just because one platform is better or worse than another for a multiplatform game doesnt mean that only one should exist. All of them should be preserved, even if they are considered inferior nowadays.

    I agree. However all the games already have been preserved by means of roms. Native ports of games are great, but some those games have already had a superior pc port since the very beginning. This is not meant as elitism.

    Tell me when they've dropped a capable 360 emulator that we can politely yoink from them
