Its good that Ps3 will support ps1 and ps2 titles.

Its bad that Xbox2 might not be able to play xbox 1 games since they are switching graphics chip companies. However I think they will be able to emulate Xbox1 in the Xbox2 well enough as to not miss a step when playing older titles.

the reason that XP can't run 95 games is that XP is what is commonly referred to as "not shit". it's a different core, so there's a few things that need to be more or less emulated.

there's not that many good games that won't run on XP (and came out any time approaching recently), anyways. although C&C:RA not installing on win2k still irks me.

"This program requires windows 95 to run. The installer has detected you are using windows 5, and hence will not install"

or similar. i'm gonna go look for a workaround again. i know there's one that works in winXP.

oh my god, i found one! *breaks out the CDs*

Off Topic, Can you emulate Windows 95 on Windows XP like inside a window?

Yes, using Connectix Virtual PC. There's more info on it here (http://www.connectix.com/downloadcenter/pdf/vpcw5_52_faq.pdf) (PDF file). :)

Who in the hell is still using Windows 95? ;)

Anyways, XBox 2 engineers might get around that, probably as easily as PS2. Either way, I'm going to buy both. (At seperate times of course!)
