Cxbx is a Xboxemulator for Microsoft Windows developed by a group of programmers lead by a hacker named caustik and written in the C++programming language. It is open source software and may someday be ported to other operating systems. Cxbx appears to be inactive and hasn't been updated since sometime in 2004 due in part, to the fact that Caustik has been tied up by a full time job working at DivX, Inc.. Currently Cxbx does not run any games but Turok: Evolution and assorted demos, however, there is no better Xbox emulator available on the net.

After it has been very silent around the XBoxemulatorCXBX as of late, there're now some breaking news over at the official site: Turok is *completly* playable by now and only some minor graphical glitches are left.
Caustik: Cxbx was put on the backburner for quite some time, but recently I have sparked it back up and I try to work on it 3-4 times a week for at least an hour.
Cxbx is not halted, but it is definately a lower priority than I would like it to be.
