Emulator for Xbox 360 and PS3

I have played a lot of games and i have some collection of game titles from the Atari machine to the Playstation console. But in the past few years i stopped playing console games since online games had became more popular. Besides i was already busy and just started then my computer shop business. I have always been fascinated with games, specially those that employ the latest graphics and technology. But lately i was getting bored with online games, specifically MMORPG being my favorite genre.  Doing the repetitive tasks of grinding, and completing quests somehow made me feel bored and i was doing the same thing over and over again for years.

This prompted me to try to look for something new and i thought i should try the newer consoles.  I wanted to play some game on the Xbox360 and the Playstation 3(PS3) consoles but it is quite expensive and it would not be practical for a single dad like me if i would buy both while on the other hand i won't be able to try the other console if i will buy just one. So emulator came to my mind. I'm sure i will be able to try games for both consoles and eventually i can decide which one i should buy after that.

I then search with google for any available emulator on the net. I found about 2 or 3 sites offering with their own version of emulators both for Xbox360 and PS3. Sad to say nothing really worked.

After i have downloaded Xbox360 Emulator 3.2.4 as well as the PS3  Emulator 1.9.4 and expanded the archive/compressed file, i tried to run the executable file. Xbox360 and PS3 emulator.

The programs seems to be working fine but immediately a notice for a new version appeared prompting me to either update or not. Well, there is nothing i can do since choosing either option would close the program. If i choose not to update, the program simply terminate, and when i choose to update i was directed to an archive site that requires something, like doing some offer/job before you are able to download the new version program.

I tried doing some of the offer but unfortunately even if there is nothing more to do or once the task has been completed, it was never acknowledged in the archive site that the offer/job was already done so i was not able to get the download. I was also wondering why there is such a newer version when the fact is i downloaded the emulator program right from the creator's site.
If there is in fact a new version, it should have been available right there or at least could have been mentioned right there and then. I smell something fishy about this. I ended up in a very frustrating situation of search, download, install, got error cycle. This was for both

So i tried the  Xbox360 Emulator 1.7.1 that i have downloaded. When i run the program it was seems ok too but an it gave me an error about not finding any bios. Xbox360 in their filenames, most file are obviously bios for the PS1 and PS2 console with SCH-....prefixes on their filenames.

Now bios is my problem, so i search again with my ever reliable Google search engine :). Eureka! i found one and i immediately downloaded and extracted. I place the bios on the same folder as instructed by the readme.text file of the emulator program. Now i got a corrupted bios warning and prompted me if i want to download a bios from their site. I said to myself ok, i think its the best thing to do since the bios would be coming from the same site where i downloaded the emulator program.

Whew! upon trying to download i was surprised to see that i was prompted with the   same option again to complete offers/job before getting the bios download. Grrr! I am already getting irritated by this procedure so i searched again for bios. I found one site and was able to download and extracted the files right away. To my dismay it never worked. I get the same corrupted bios error. I tried to scrutinize the file and folder and i found out that all the bios i have downloaded were already in the emulator package but in another folder and they are all the same. I have noticed too that except for the 3 bios file with

The last i tried was Xbox360 Emulator v2.0 but i no longer expect good result. I downloaded the program but it needs a password to extract the files. The url address is provided to get the password. As i expected the  download site requires an offer to complete before anyone can allegedly get the password. There is only one offer available so i tried and the task was to download VLC media player. After the download i installed the program yet the task was never completed and it state that if it does not automatically unlock try another offer. This is ridiculous, there is no other offer to try! 

I gave up thinking that maybe, just maybe there is no functional emulators yet for the consoles Xbox360 or PS3. I am also skeptical as to the purpose of the makers of these so called emulators. Why release the program package only to be prompted for a never heard update and then go to the process of doing like in FB, tweets and g+ for trying to download the supposed update or bios? I don't know if anyone was able to download though, but based on the many blog sites and forums that i have found, users were not able to make the download therefore no one was able to use the program. Many people kept on searching for bios and solution to error but even i haven't found one that really solves the problem. One was saying to try to remove all browsers and disable internet explorer but i did not bother to try since his bios are just the same as the one i downloaded and those that are already in the emulator package.

To conclude all the 4 emulators that i have downloaded were useless. It merely lure people to do offer for them and obviously it was a bunch of BS for their ads campaign and promotion. Don't even bother to download emulator for the consoles Xbox360 or PS3 for the time being. I'm not sure of the real intentions for the release of the said emulators but to be safe than regret later its better not to download these programs. If ever the authors/creator of these programs will read this blog i hope they can shed light on the error and download problems.

Last note:

I won't be giving any link to their sites and you can just google it if you wanna try at your own risk. I will highly appreciates if anyone can tell me a working emulators for the said consoles, just to prove that there is an existing functional, operational and truly free emulator.
