My grandpa, who passed away recently, had an OG modded Xbox that I used to play at his house as a kid. I recently took it home and looked through what he had installed and ended up finding XSNES9X. Put Super Metroid on it and have been playing it all day. Really cool hearing the story behind it! :)
That's absolutely insane. "I ported SDL, PJ64, snes9x and more to the Xbox while getting around the memory restraints and released them all to the public." That's the kind of comp sci skill I would love to have and use.
The reason you donated half of your winnings back to the original author of project 64 is because you're a good person. and you shouldn't second-guess your decision just because other people aren't as good as you...
It’s like paying respect to your inspiration. At least that’s how I’m interrupting it. I’m sure he felt like he couldn’t have done it with out them... like they showed him the way kind of thing. It was his way of paying respect, although others, including himself, may have questioned the decision. This is all speculation though but I like to think I’m right.
@Yujiro Hanma Because most people would take the cash and run. That's just a fact. Perhaps "good" person is a bad description as most people aren't bad per se, but rather MVG is perhaps a "better" person than most.
Yujiro Hanma what does the character of the commenter have literally anything to do with what he said? Like someone stating a fact and then replying “Who are you to say that fact? You probably aren’t a good person!” Makes no sense.
I've watched this channel for a while, didn't remember this video. my boss handed me an original xbox the other day and said his Snes emulator broke, brought it home and fixed his xsnes9x, found out it was by Lantus. now, 2 days later, found out you're him. wild!
Duuuude! I had no idea you were so influential in the scene, man! I just figured you were a cool dude who knows his shit. Come to find out, you're the source. This is really righteous. Thanks for everything, man.
Now I appreciate your channel even more! I used xSNES9x and sureal64 a lot on the original Xbox! I remember playing Mario kart 64 every night possible with my girlfriend back in the day! Thank you so much! Greetings from Colombia!
I was in the dramcast homebrew modding scene . i remember you i was ian micheal dc or reaper2k2 did the neogeo cd emulator and otheres for dreamcast.. im a fellow australian
I always wondered what happened to my buddies at DCEMU and later Consolevision. Man so much time enjoyed there. Huma79, WHurricane16, burner0, crt0, DCGrendel, darc, psyco, soul, Wraggster. Wonder what 007Cheater is up to these days haha
I love how you have a DreamX 1.4Ghz Xbox sitting on your desk and didn't even comment on it. :p DreamX: Xbox with 1.4 Ghz Celeron (2x original xbox CPU speed) and 128MB RAM with a toggle switch to downclock back to 700Mhz on the fly. Sorry they are just extremely rare and had to bring it up!
I watch MVG religiously, knew he'd cover it eventually. Think he quietly put it in the background to see how much it would be brought up lol Still waiting on enthusiests to make a BGA adaptor to add a socket for CPU upgrades now that home fabrication has come a long way. There are blueprints of the DreamX adaptor online for the original DreamX, just no technical pinouts I could easily find. Ramble ramble..
A true hero. So pretty much all the best emulators on the original Xbox were ported/made by you. The original Xbox will always hold a special place in my heart due to all the awesome homebrew by you and many others.

I also was in the #xbins channel on EFNet and I remember the day the xSnes9x got uploaded the channel was so flooded with people talking I couldn't even see what was going on I had to PM a mod and ask him. After I got it, I knew I wanted to get in to homebrew. I pretty much learned how to hack the XBOX (and in turn, write hacks for Halo 2) from the source code for xSnes9x. You are one of my hacker heroes, dude. I'm glad I can put a face to the name now. Respect.
Dude, I love you. I still have my modded xbox, and have had it for 13 years? I played your emulator COUNTLESS times. "IS THERE ANYONE ALIVE OUT THERE!!?!? CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!!" ..Ah jeez.. Thank you.
The original Xbox scene really was so innovative, almost every day something new was being released or updated. Most people modded to play copied games but you could still fill up a HDD with all the homebrew that got released, no other console has come close to it IMO. RIP XboxHacker...
Also it's good to hear from someone who was responsible for the Xbox scene being so great back then (I actually heard you were Lantus in the comments of an earlier vid of yours and had to sub straight away, probably one of the best subs I've made :), many thanks for all your hard work!
The Xbox was a very iconic game system in my childhood. I was around 13 years old, I found the Xbox modding and homebrew community. I remember sending an email to bunnie about some really unusual things happening with my xbox when trying to mod it. It turns out there were some refurbished xbox's with newer firmware versions, but older hardware, that caused a number of modchips to not work. He then suggested I just use his I2C sniffing guide, and unlock the hard drive directly to mod the system. Doing all of this really unlocked that bridge of how computers and digital electronics work, and a foundation of programming. Today, I'm very successful in life for having this knowledge. You have helped to inspire and educate many kids, who are leading very happy lives right now. Thank you!
Oh man those were the days. The excitement of logging into ICQ and logging into the xbins channel just to download the latest release emulators felt so underground 😂.
Wow! I didn't realize that you were the person who did these amazing things! I put countless hours into your n64 and killer instinct ports! Thank you so much!
Hah! I was going to ask you about this exact topic, really happy to see you've dedicated an entire video to it. I really have a lot of respect for what you've done and how, to this day, you're so proud of your work. Absolutely loved this video, dude!
It is genuinely heartwarming how this video/comment section has brought forth so many memories/anecdotes. And that people have chosen to share them here. All with a dash of a joke here and some other assorted positive vibes there! English is not my first language, and it's a little hard to explain what I mean, but I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say!
Still the best console for emulation IMO, especially with CoinOPS. All emulators and games in one convenient program with a video preview and info for every game. 720p and 1080i support. An all around awesome console!
my cousin came over one day with a jailbroken xobx and we played both the snes and surreal 64 emulation. All these years later to find out who it was and hear their story is very cool. Thank you for the work you put into this. It provided us with many hours of entertainment.
Much respect still to this man. Back when I was just an enduser, I derived a lot of enjoyment from his work on the original Xbox from the early to mid-00s. They were more innocent times and the console hacking scenes definitely had more excitement to them back then.
I went by the name MrFaust back then. I was in the emulation scene as a whole. I won the Team Xecuter contest when they were about to release the X3 mod chip. I remember very fondly hanging out in xbins irc when your xSNES9x port came out. I remember followed the work of Lantus. Your MAME port and then the U64Emu port. I had been talking with RCP for a while and trying to motivate him to keep working on his Killer Instinct emulator for Windows. And then see it ported over to the Xbox was a glorious day for me :)
I got an Xbox in 2003 in great part because of the emulators, I used xsnes9x and surreal64 quite a bit, I remember every friend and family I would show the Xbox running all those games being impressed, and it being basically the only thing I played during some vacations, I miss having the Xbox (which I sold in 2007), and if I had it i would still probably be using to play Snes games, you did some great work! thanks! I used to get all the news and files from xbox-scene, I think the site is no longer online.
Yup. Same for me too. I will not sale my OG Xbox as well. OG Xbox still gave me a great experience to play with. I still keep my OG Xbox as well along with my PS2
I just want to thank you for your work in the modding community. I spent countless hours using the emulators you made on my modded xbox back in the day (still use it every now and then!). I've watched so many of your vids and just saw this one today, kind of blew me away watching this one and thinking how you had a direct impact on my life. Cheers.
Thanks for making my original XBOX experience so memorable. The modding scene for the XBOX back then was something to behold. Still have my original XBOX with X3 Modchip, Front Panel Replacement with LCD, & X3IR. My friend and I released a bunch of installers for the XBOX that properly installs & signs game DLC and XBOX Live! Arcade games to the hard drive. You can still download them from Digiex.
*_The story of pioneer and legend of the Emulation Community._* *_Who would've ever thought that YOU were actually Lantus, the creator of the original SNES Emulator fro XBOX._*
i would too if my og xbox wasn't crashing within 10 seconds of operation :\ it have to give it a oven baking to see if it comes back to life (it feels just like a xbox360 that's about to 3rl). or just buy a new one.
Very nice work. Been a fan for many years. I was one of the Global Mods on xbox-scene.com (LepPpeR). Nice to put a face to a name. Still enjoying your emulators to date.
Modern Vintage Gamer - agreed. Sad to see the community disintegrate but all great things come to an end. Had fun developing Craxtion for all those years.
OGxbox.com - somewhat of a revival. Very active FB group. not a ton of developers like yourself but the scene has had a resurgence of sorts. Stop on by :) great video btw. Thank you for your efforts and for making so much of this possible.
I don't remember how but my brother ended up with a Xbox that was modded and we would play Killer Instinct just about nonstop! That was an amazing port and it's so dang cool that you did that work. You rule! Thanks for the good times and the hard work.
Wow, it is really cool to find out you were behind Surreal, MameOX and the Killer Instinct port and so much of the XBOX emulator scene, thank you for hard work, you brought a lot of joy to so many of us, with these accomplishments and your videos. Thank you man, 1000 thumbs up and a million internets to you sir.
Whats up man. Respect. This is really an inspirational video for me, I've been coding/hacking since childhood. I always wondered who developed these emulators, and it's funny that I stumbled upon this randomly. Really fucken cool that you made this channel and supply these videos as well as this exceptional backstory. I used to make trainers/bots for an old sidescroller(maplestory) using C/C++ years ago. I never released much on forums which I regret more so now. This makes me heavily wan't to develop something! Your a boss mate!
This guy was behind a large part of my childhood in gaming. Mad respect, legend status achieved indeed. And ninja gaiden music on the backtrack? My god.
I've been watching your videos on TH-cam for a while, but I never know I was actually watching THE LANTUS! You're a freaking legend! Thank you so much for your work. Now whenever I play my modded Xbox, I can think of you and send my thanks to you to the universe. Just wow!
You made so much possible in my childhood. I grew up pretty poor and my father didn't let me borrow games from friends so modding my box to play snes games was really the only way that I got to experience TONS of my favorite games that still inspire me today. Thank you so much
Man oh man. So you're the guy who developed those amazing emulators I played to death on my modded xbox. Surreal 64 was surprisingly stable enough to play Conker's Bad Fur Day (But for some reason it would fail to launch 50% of the time) and I would play it on my xbox instead of my pc. I always wondered how the it was able to fit the entire game on the ram on the xbox. Thanks for your service to the xbox modding community!
Conkers was always a crap shoot to start for some reason like you said every other attempt it would just sit at a black screen. With a 128Meg xbox it runs MUCH nicer
Your work among others made me so much money in middle school! Modding xboxes of kids I went to school with! I at one point had it down with the hotswap softmod technique to just 15 minutes and that was including opening the device, booting, copying, checking everything and then resealing it all. xboxhdm was such a great tool there hasn't been a massive homebrew scene imo since xbox. It was just such a unique position since it was relatively cheap and so wide spread yet highly powerful. I did a single tsop flash w/ hacked bios but I always liked the simpler version of softmodding. Just seems cooler imo to actually do it all in software and defeat the machine's built in security with pbl lol!
Firstly, I just want to say Thank you, with all of my heart, thank you so much for your work! I used every single emulator you mentioned , they were great, ran fantastically and never gave me even a bit of trouble, you made emulation on Xbox fantastic! I will go as far as to say you soured me on to start retro gaming and collecting, I allways played pc , knew emulators existed but didn't really go indepth on playing them, but playing so many games on the Xbox made me want more and I started collecting , I am just so glad I can finally put a face to the emulators I use to play, and not just that all of the ports aswell, thank you once again!
Nice!! I got an original Xbox when I was about 13, and over the 3 or 4 years I owned one (several, actually) I spent many, many hours flashing TSOP, softmodding (SplinterCell Save exploit!!), running emulators, adding VGA and RCA ports, upgrading hard disks (IDE hot swap ha!), adding 80 pin IDE cables, trying all the different dashboards, swapping 3 pin LED's, wishing my soldering skills where good enough to add an additional 64MB RAM for Project64 and Linux, XBMC, GentooX, installing games to HDD, making Cat5 crossover cables and most importantly emulators!! At the time I was more than happy just running Snes9x on my WinXP AMD Duron 1.3GHz PC, but the xSNES9x port ran so well by the time I discovered it in around 2004/2005 I didn't just use the emulator for novelty, I still to this day think it's one of the best ways to play emulated SNES games. I think the original Xbox was the absolute pinnacle of home console modding. I thank the original Xbox for my interest in trying to hack the shit out of pretty much anything I own with a microprocessor inside of it. Thanks for all your dev work back in the day, people like you was what made all of the above worthwhile, and probably why I didn't get a girlfriend until several years later :p
Mech assult Exploit is what I used the same thing as splinter cell I happened to find that game first and way cheap., and cross over cables will akways have a spot in my heart.
Hi five to Lantus ;) Was an active xbox-scene user back in the day, remember the N64 competition, logging into xbins on mirc. Still got 3 modded xboxs one that gets used weekly.
That's because it's only piracy unless you're just making working copies of games that U already own! 😀😆😉 Seriously, a little-discussed aspect of the whole "piracy is theft!" thing is that legit owners of physical media can still have logical reasons for making copies of said media -- like ensuring their media investment against loss & damage. Also, if I cherrypick various tracks from my personal CD music library & copy them onto 1 or more "mixtape" audio cassettes, am I committing "piracy" ... or am I simply exercising my rights as a media consumer to use the media I bought & paid for, fair & square, for my own private purposes?
this reminds me of my teen years and SWGemu, with their source I was modifying and recompiling SQL databases to run a LAN server trying to impress my older brother who at the time was a SA/network engineer and had introduced me to the game. Essentially all I did was replace most NPCs with palpatine, and modify items to fight them all with but I was like 13-14 and thought I was king of the world, sure recompiling took like 6+ hours on my win32xp desktop, didnt even phase me, id sit there waiting just in case id messed up an ini edit or data entry because having the recompile fail 1 hour in and coming back 8 hours later sucks your soul, but man I'll never forget the feeling of it finishing successfully. kinda long rant but in any case love the channel man keep it coming
Hey, just wanted to say that I really appreciated this video. I was the guy who found the speedhacks for Super Mario RPG for that special port of SNES9x to the PSP that emulated the SA-1 coprocessor chip, which for some reason used the "SNES Advance" speedhack database, and that was enough to bring the average frameskip from 3-4 down to 0-2. It's been so many years since then, but I'm still dang proud of that achievement. Wish I had seen this video earlier.
@@ajddavid452 It was the best mod I've ever installed. I use the SNES mini for 2 player stuff but mostly the PSP. It's portable and you can hook it up to the TV.
Holy shit it's Lantus! You are a LEGEND dude! Bunny opened the flood doors but you WERE the flood. Man.. lik-sang, xbhacker, xbox-scene, team-xecuter, ninjahacker.net, IRC, xbins - those were very fun times. From 2003-2011 I modded thousands of game consoles in San Diego, including Xbox. In the early days, my competition was straight up pirates including Xbox games in their pre-mods. To keep out of jail but stay competitive, I refrained from backups but instead included emulators with my TSOPs and softmods for free. People went crazy for your emulators. I fucking owe you dude. If you don't have a Patreon, set one up - I've never contributed to any patreons on youtube but you will be the first. I'm sure there will be many many grateful people that will do the same. Plus we want to see more videos from you! KILLER INSTINCT!!!! Oh my god - I remember when you released it and had KI working like butter - I think KI2 was part of the release too. I'm still amazed you were able to pull this off to this day and will play it every now and then with my X-Arcade and Quasicade. If anyone still has a modded Xbox, X-arcade still sells xbox adapters and is how you should be playing many of the emulators. I had snes9x and also xsnes9x on my emulator loads because only one of them could play Starfox 2! I remember SNES mini release touting Starfox 2 and thinking "pshhhh, this already worked on my modded xbox through xsnes9x years ago".
Thank you for everything you have done for the xbox modding community, I have personally enjoyed your hard work many times over. I am trying to dip my toes into programming and you are an inspiration.
One of the oddest things ever stated that were true: "The way that I do play original NeoGeo CD games is to literally just drop it into my Xbox and play it via my emulator." Seeing how he wrote the emulator. Very cool.
I've been lurking since the 2000s and this brought memories back big time. I always wondered why my pc could barely run emulators and the Xbox could do it all back in the day lol. It's nice to finally see the man who developed the awesome emulators. Thanks for the memories
Thanks for all your hard work, especially on Surreal64 and libSDLx, really enjoyed watching this video :) And big apologies for the crappy "FDB" series, you know what i mean ^^
This was a great little dive into a very interesting piece of gaming history. While I've never been much of a console gamer, I have used my fair share of MAME and NeoGeo emulators for the PC, and I'm always interested in finding out more about all various bits and pieces of gaming history, great to see that actual actors that literally wrote said history - and code - are still among us :)
I just wanted to say thank you! I played the hell out of emulators on my original Xbox. They were all really solid, and I loved the effort you went to to make the interfaces (though I turned off the background music). The N64 in particular was just amazing, most n64 emulators don't work nearly as good on even modern hardware.
Its amazing to hear just how much time and effort you put into these emulators/homebrew. I was introduced to the likes of xSNES9x, FBA-X, and Surreal64 thanks to my dad, and It really gave me something to do/kept me in a good mood growing up! Thank you for all of your hard work. :) Excellent video.
Love to hear the tales from back in the day. I tried them all pretty much on release, they inspired me to port emulators to GC/Wii. Xbins is still around I think.
Emukidid > aren't you the guy behind Swiss? I remember reading about a lot of your stuff at the time, you were my entry into "the moding scene" in general haha (started learning programing as well) hope I'll be able to contribute as well on the next gen of console
Thanks for the many many hours of fun. Got my system modded back in like 2006. Just broke out my OG XBOX and started playing all the emulators with my son. Crazy to see him playing and loving the games I grew up with.
Thank you for your hard work, specially thanks for the Killer Instinct Emu wao so much good memories thank to you & other developers, really appreciated cause you guys made and became part of my childhood.
Awesome! First off, thank you for your work, to you and all the hackers / coders / modders out there. It's nice to finally put a face to the unseen workers who made all this possible. Secondly, I recently was given an original Xbox that someone found in their basement. It works, and I am in the process of softmodding it. Back in the day, I had a hardmodded Xbox, but it was stolen several years ago. I am looking forward to getting back into some retro gaming with a nice chunky Xbox controller. Thanks again. Emulators, modS, and homebrew have provided untold hours of joy and decompression to millions of gamers like me, and I salute the men and women who made that possible. (Including the original game developers.)
Im not an xbox owner but I really like your topics on emulation/ hack/ homebrew on various systems.... high five to you mister MVG....cheers from the Netherlands.... no vintage retro gaming for a lot of us out here without emulators and homebrew hacks/ devices
Holy shit. So you've been part of the emulator scene for Xbox and significant one too. I bought Xbox from my friend used and found out that it was supposed to be fairly useful in many ways. I modded it myself and man was I impressed how well many emulators ran so damn well on it. I mean I had fairly good PC and I was astound of what Xbox was capable of. Especially n64 emulator. Actually just two days ago I fetched the old box to my new home was pleased to see it booting into xbmc without any problems after so many years of collecting dust. Now I just gotta find the damn controller cable breakout part which I didn't notice missing. But huge thanks for your contribution. That machine has q2, emulators and scummvm for sure already installed and it was really nice to hear from people who has been part in their development. Thanks again. Now back to the thought I got after about 30s of this video "I wonder if xbins is still alive or archived somewhere.." :)
I was heavily involved in the PSP Go homebrew scene. although I only liked to help fix bugs and clean up source code. I still feel like I had somewhat of influence on that homebrew scene with Wololo even if it died quickly after starting
I have a 3 TB modded Xbox with all those emulators, and CoinOps. I still keep coming back to it to play all those awesome games. I remember opening Killing Instincts and being blown away by the graphics and game play I was getting from the Xbox console. I also couldn't believe how smooth Surreal 64 ran, and still does. Thanks for all your hard work, it is very much appreciated!
Thank you for your work! Even though I never had an Xbox, I appreciate greatly the work people like you do - enhancing the consoles lazy companies won't do themselves. And your fight against them being angry that you did better job is an amazing story of bravery and intelligence. Scene won't die thank to people like you!
A billion times, thank you my friend for the hard work you put in. You made alot of gamers so happy with your work in the modding community. It's a honor to be a subscriber to your channel. You're a freaking hero 😀👍
I still have my old Xbox and the only real reason I bought it in 2003 was because of the Emulators and Homebrew... I was very surprized that I played games on your emulators. Absolute respect to you and what you have done back then. Thanks
You are a bad ass! My wife got my brand new original xbox modded in Feb 2004 for my birthday, and it came with project 64, that xbox is still in my collection til this day, at the time 200 gig hard drive was huuuge. Thank you so much for bringing me so much joy, I had been watching your channel and playing my xbox without even knowing you are the man. Awesome
I just randomly started watching your videos and found out it was you though this video that made all the emulators for the og Xbox.... I would like to thank you so much for your hard work. I became the envy of my friends through your work, of how cool the og Xbox really was.. I miss the og Xbox modding scene 😥
I was a user when you were a creator, so thank you! That was a fun era and the modded Xbox was everything I loved about gaming in one system for so many years. My Xbox was more powerful than my PC back then, so it was just a killer emulation platform for me. Xbins really takes me back :D
wow! Being a not no fortunate kid back then and living in a poor country (Brazil) I was only able to get my hands on a Xbox way past this golden era of emulation, but when I got one, I played pretty much all of the emulators you developed. That's so amazing to watch your video and somehow being in touch with the person responsible for bringing me so joy. Thank you so much for all you have done!
I was lucky enough to have an XBOX with your Emulators. I was in the army and stuck due to an injury. Because of you, I remained sane. I had a small display but it felt like the real deal. Thanks so much! It blows my mind. I have been subscribed for a long time and was just playing some older videos of yours. I can't believe I wasn't aware of your contributions.
I'm from México, here back the day, custom arcade machines with literally a mounted original Xbox inside (and Xbox controllers mapped into the arcade joystick) running Unleashed X with the bast mayority of the emulators you create start to appear. Remember nigths in the block playing KOF and even Súper Smash Bros. You really are part of lots of people's childhood, thanks man.
I love how "Only 29 wires to solder" was a selling point back then, makes me smile
and i happily soldered many more than that with enigma if i remember right haha

My grandpa, who passed away recently, had an OG modded Xbox that I used to play at his house as a kid. I recently took it home and looked through what he had installed and ended up finding XSNES9X. Put Super Metroid on it and have been playing it all day. Really cool hearing the story behind it! :)

That's absolutely insane. "I ported SDL, PJ64, snes9x and more to the Xbox while getting around the memory restraints and released them all to the public." That's the kind of comp sci skill I would love to have and use.
Same!
Try to write a NES emulator for pc by your self. It will be a good place to start.

I also was in the #xbins channel on EFNet and I remember the day the xSnes9x got uploaded the channel was so flooded with people talking I couldn't even see what was going on I had to PM a mod and ask him. After I got it, I knew I wanted to get in to homebrew. I pretty much learned how to hack the XBOX (and in turn, write hacks for Halo 2) from the source code for xSnes9x. You are one of my hacker heroes, dude. I'm glad I can put a face to the name now. Respect.
#xbins got pretty crazy. I think myself or Iriez were the ones that thought it was all BS.
Dude, I love you. I still have my modded xbox, and have had it for 13 years? I played your emulator COUNTLESS times. "IS THERE ANYONE ALIVE OUT THERE!!?!? CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!!" ..Ah jeez.. Thank you.
The original Xbox scene really was so innovative, almost every day something new was being released or updated. Most people modded to play copied games but you could still fill up a HDD with all the homebrew that got released, no other console has come close to it IMO. RIP XboxHacker...
Also it's good to hear from someone who was responsible for the Xbox scene being so great back then (I actually heard you were Lantus in the comments of an earlier vid of yours and had to sub straight away, probably one of the best subs I've made :), many thanks for all your hard work!
The Xbox was a very iconic game system in my childhood. I was around 13 years old, I found the Xbox modding and homebrew community. I remember sending an email to bunnie about some really unusual things happening with my xbox when trying to mod it. It turns out there were some refurbished xbox's with newer firmware versions, but older hardware, that caused a number of modchips to not work. He then suggested I just use his I2C sniffing guide, and unlock the hard drive directly to mod the system. Doing all of this really unlocked that bridge of how computers and digital electronics work, and a foundation of programming. Today, I'm very successful in life for having this knowledge. You have helped to inspire and educate many kids, who are leading very happy lives right now. Thank you!
Oh man those were the days. The excitement of logging into ICQ and logging into the xbins channel just to download the latest release emulators felt so underground 😂.
Wow! I didn't realize that you were the person who did these amazing things! I put countless hours into your n64 and killer instinct ports! Thank you so much!
Hah! I was going to ask you about this exact topic, really happy to see you've dedicated an entire video to it. I really have a lot of respect for what you've done and how, to this day, you're so proud of your work. Absolutely loved this video, dude!
thanks brotha. means a lot. glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the flashback to those #xbins days.
In a way, this is one of the most interesting "you tube reveals" for me. Lantus, you are now re-known!

It is genuinely heartwarming how this video/comment section has brought forth so many memories/anecdotes. And that people have chosen to share them here. All with a dash of a joke here and some other assorted positive vibes there! English is not my first language, and it's a little hard to explain what I mean, but I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say!
Dude, I think at one point I had all your emulators on my XBox. Playing KI on the Xbox was just incredible. Thanks for all your hard work buddy!
you're welcome. thanks brotha!
Still the best console for emulation IMO, especially with CoinOPS. All emulators and games in one convenient program with a video preview and info for every game. 720p and 1080i support. An all around awesome console!
my cousin came over one day with a jailbroken xobx and we played both the snes and surreal 64 emulation. All these years later to find out who it was and hear their story is very cool. Thank you for the work you put into this. It provided us with many hours of entertainment.
that is mindblowing to know that you're the guy behind some of my favorite childhood memories!!
Much respect still to this man. Back when I was just an enduser, I derived a lot of enjoyment from his work on the original Xbox from the early to mid-00s. They were more innocent times and the console hacking scenes definitely had more excitement to them back then.
LibRetro How much fully loaded
I went by the name MrFaust back then. I was in the emulation scene as a whole. I won the Team Xecuter contest when they were about to release the X3 mod chip. I remember very fondly hanging out in xbins irc when your xSNES9x port came out. I remember followed the work of Lantus. Your MAME port and then the U64Emu port. I had been talking with RCP for a while and trying to motivate him to keep working on his Killer Instinct emulator for Windows. And then see it ported over to the Xbox was a glorious day for me :)
I got an Xbox in 2003 in great part because of the emulators, I used xsnes9x and surreal64 quite a bit, I remember every friend and family I would show the Xbox running all those games being impressed, and it being basically the only thing I played during some vacations, I miss having the Xbox (which I sold in 2007), and if I had it i would still probably be using to play Snes games, you did some great work! thanks! I used to get all the news and files from xbox-scene, I think the site is no longer online.
Why would you sell it, were you like financially unstable?
bobsagget823 Nigga no dumbass would sell it if you had so much affection for it other then being financially unstable.
Yup. Same for me too. I will not sale my OG Xbox as well. OG Xbox still gave me a great experience to play with. I still keep my OG Xbox as well along with my PS2
@@dzdju9fh8df83probably just didn’t need it anymore lol. Why you jump to conclusions like that?
I just want to thank you for your work in the modding community. I spent countless hours using the emulators you made on my modded xbox back in the day (still use it every now and then!). I've watched so many of your vids and just saw this one today, kind of blew me away watching this one and thinking how you had a direct impact on my life. Cheers.
Thanks for making my original XBOX experience so memorable. The modding scene for the XBOX back then was something to behold. Still have my original XBOX with X3 Modchip, Front Panel Replacement with LCD, & X3IR. My friend and I released a bunch of installers for the XBOX that properly installs & signs game DLC and XBOX Live! Arcade games to the hard drive. You can still download them from Digiex.
Thanks for that! I still use Them!.
*_The story of pioneer and legend of the Emulation Community._*
*_Who would've ever thought that YOU were actually Lantus, the creator of the original SNES Emulator fro XBOX._*
Played? You mean PLAY.
i would too if my og xbox wasn't crashing within 10 seconds of operation :\ it have to give it a oven baking to see if it comes back to life (it feels just like a xbox360 that's about to 3rl). or just buy a new one.
Back in 2004 when a friend had an xbox playing N64 i almost had a heart attack and i couldnt believe it.
Very nice work. Been a fan for many years. I was one of the Global Mods on xbox-scene.com (LepPpeR). Nice to put a face to a name.
Still enjoying your emulators to date.
great to see you man! its a bummer x-s is no longer around
Modern Vintage Gamer - agreed. Sad to see the community disintegrate but all great things come to an end. Had fun developing Craxtion for all those years.
OGxbox.com - somewhat of a revival. Very active FB group. not a ton of developers like yourself but the scene has had a resurgence of sorts. Stop on by :) great video btw. Thank you for your efforts and for making so much of this possible.
Same as Chris! Thanks a lot! Used xSNES9x for all my SNES games and still do today!
Another Head Admin from xbox-scene here (HoRnEyDvL) was also heavily involved in xbox scene back in the days :)
Lantus was the man on xbox scene him and Xport fond memories of a different time....
I don't remember how but my brother ended up with a Xbox that was modded and we would play Killer Instinct just about nonstop! That was an amazing port and it's so dang cool that you did that work. You rule! Thanks for the good times and the hard work.
Wow, it is really cool to find out you were behind Surreal, MameOX and the Killer Instinct port and so much of the XBOX emulator scene, thank you for hard work, you brought a lot of joy to so many of us, with these accomplishments and your videos. Thank you man, 1000 thumbs up and a million internets to you sir.
Whats up man. Respect. This is really an inspirational video for me, I've been coding/hacking since childhood. I always wondered who developed these emulators, and it's funny that I stumbled upon this randomly. Really fucken cool that you made this channel and supply these videos as well as this exceptional backstory. I used to make trainers/bots for an old sidescroller(maplestory) using C/C++ years ago. I never released much on forums which I regret more so now. This makes me heavily wan't to develop something! Your a boss mate!
This guy was behind a large part of my childhood in gaming. Mad respect, legend status achieved indeed. And ninja gaiden music on the backtrack? My god.
I've been watching your videos on TH-cam for a while, but I never know I was actually watching THE LANTUS! You're a freaking legend! Thank you so much for your work. Now whenever I play my modded Xbox, I can think of you and send my thanks to you to the universe. Just wow!
You made so much possible in my childhood. I grew up pretty poor and my father didn't let me borrow games from friends so modding my box to play snes games was really the only way that I got to experience TONS of my favorite games that still inspire me today. Thank you so much
How come your father didn't let you borrow games from friends? Just curious
Man oh man. So you're the guy who developed those amazing emulators I played to death on my modded xbox. Surreal 64 was surprisingly stable enough to play Conker's Bad Fur Day (But for some reason it would fail to launch 50% of the time) and I would play it on my xbox instead of my pc. I always wondered how the it was able to fit the entire game on the ram on the xbox.
Thanks for your service to the xbox modding community!
Conkers was always a crap shoot to start for some reason like you said every other attempt it would just sit at a black screen. With a 128Meg xbox it runs MUCH nicer
Your work among others made me so much money in middle school! Modding xboxes of kids I went to school with! I at one point had it down with the hotswap softmod technique to just 15 minutes and that was including opening the device, booting, copying, checking everything and then resealing it all. xboxhdm was such a great tool there hasn't been a massive homebrew scene imo since xbox. It was just such a unique position since it was relatively cheap and so wide spread yet highly powerful. I did a single tsop flash w/ hacked bios but I always liked the simpler version of softmodding. Just seems cooler imo to actually do it all in software and defeat the machine's built in security with pbl lol!
Firstly, I just want to say Thank you, with all of my heart, thank you so much for your work!
I used every single emulator you mentioned , they were great, ran fantastically and never gave me even a bit of trouble, you made emulation on Xbox fantastic!
I will go as far as to say you soured me on to start retro gaming and collecting, I allways played pc , knew emulators existed but didn't really go indepth on playing them, but playing so many games on the Xbox made me want more and I started collecting , I am just so glad I can finally put a face to the emulators I use to play, and not just that all of the ports aswell, thank you once again!
I have to tell you-- I played more stuff on your emulators than I ever did Xbox games. Thank you so much for your work, dude!
Nice!! I got an original Xbox when I was about 13, and over the 3 or 4 years I owned one (several, actually) I spent many, many hours flashing TSOP, softmodding (SplinterCell Save exploit!!), running emulators, adding VGA and RCA ports, upgrading hard disks (IDE hot swap ha!), adding 80 pin IDE cables, trying all the different dashboards, swapping 3 pin LED's, wishing my soldering skills where good enough to add an additional 64MB RAM for Project64 and Linux, XBMC, GentooX, installing games to HDD, making Cat5 crossover cables and most importantly emulators!!
At the time I was more than happy just running Snes9x on my WinXP AMD Duron 1.3GHz PC, but the xSNES9x port ran so well by the time I discovered it in around 2004/2005 I didn't just use the emulator for novelty, I still to this day think it's one of the best ways to play emulated SNES games.
I think the original Xbox was the absolute pinnacle of home console modding. I thank the original Xbox for my interest in trying to hack the shit out of pretty much anything I own with a microprocessor inside of it.
Thanks for all your dev work back in the day, people like you was what made all of the above worthwhile, and probably why I didn't get a girlfriend until several years later :p
Mech assult Exploit is what I used the same thing as splinter cell I happened to find that game first and way cheap., and cross over cables will akways have a spot in my heart.
@@drmayne2071 Same here, i had a Mech assault exploited xbox.
Bro, your work was a part of my gaming history, emulating on the Xbox was amazing to me. Great great work
Hi five to Lantus ;) Was an active xbox-scene user back in the day, remember the N64 competition, logging into xbins on mirc. Still got 3 modded xboxs one that gets used weekly.
Love it how he says the expression "backups" but really means pirated copies hahaha
That's what I was thinking; how is this guys going to tell us this story without potentially admitting to a crime lol
That's because it's only piracy unless you're just making working copies of games that U already own! 😀😆😉
Seriously, a little-discussed aspect of the whole "piracy is theft!" thing is that legit owners of physical media can still have logical reasons for making copies of said media -- like ensuring their media investment against loss & damage.
Also, if I cherrypick various tracks from my personal CD music library & copy them onto 1 or more "mixtape" audio cassettes, am I committing "piracy" ... or am I simply exercising my rights as a media consumer to use the media I bought & paid for, fair & square, for my own private purposes?
Thank you for doing all this. Modded Original Xbox's are my favorite consoles to play
It is positively surreal finding out that YOU made some of the shady ftl IRQ downloads! Awesome to know! Thank you
this reminds me of my teen years and SWGemu, with their source I was modifying and recompiling SQL databases to run a LAN server trying to impress my older brother who at the time was a SA/network engineer and had introduced me to the game. Essentially all I did was replace most NPCs with palpatine, and modify items to fight them all with but I was like 13-14 and thought I was king of the world, sure recompiling took like 6+ hours on my win32xp desktop, didnt even phase me, id sit there waiting just in case id messed up an ini edit or data entry because having the recompile fail 1 hour in and coming back 8 hours later sucks your soul, but man I'll never forget the feeling of it finishing successfully.
kinda long rant but in any case love the channel man keep it coming
Hey, just wanted to say that I really appreciated this video. I was the guy who found the speedhacks for Super Mario RPG for that special port of SNES9x to the PSP that emulated the SA-1 coprocessor chip, which for some reason used the "SNES Advance" speedhack database, and that was enough to bring the average frameskip from 3-4 down to 0-2. It's been so many years since then, but I'm still dang proud of that achievement.
Wish I had seen this video earlier.
Do not adjust your computer at 3:51 :)
Thats Street Fighter Alpha 2 isn't it?
I seen Simpsons characters. My phone sucks though.
'At this point I knew I had something special' hahaha
Daaaaam Dude I used your N64 and SNES emulators. I had the executioner chip in my original Xbox.
executioner sounds like a pretty badass name for a modchip
@@ajddavid452 It was the best mod I've ever installed. I use the SNES mini for 2 player stuff but mostly the PSP. It's portable and you can hook it up to the TV.
Holy shit it's Lantus! You are a LEGEND dude! Bunny opened the flood doors but you WERE the flood. Man.. lik-sang, xbhacker, xbox-scene, team-xecuter, ninjahacker.net, IRC, xbins - those were very fun times. From 2003-2011 I modded thousands of game consoles in San Diego, including Xbox. In the early days, my competition was straight up pirates including Xbox games in their pre-mods. To keep out of jail but stay competitive, I refrained from backups but instead included emulators with my TSOPs and softmods for free. People went crazy for your emulators. I fucking owe you dude. If you don't have a Patreon, set one up - I've never contributed to any patreons on youtube but you will be the first. I'm sure there will be many many grateful people that will do the same. Plus we want to see more videos from you! KILLER INSTINCT!!!! Oh my god - I remember when you released it and had KI working like butter - I think KI2 was part of the release too. I'm still amazed you were able to pull this off to this day and will play it every now and then with my X-Arcade and Quasicade. If anyone still has a modded Xbox, X-arcade still sells xbox adapters and is how you should be playing many of the emulators. I had snes9x and also xsnes9x on my emulator loads because only one of them could play Starfox 2! I remember SNES mini release touting Starfox 2 and thinking "pshhhh, this already worked on my modded xbox through xsnes9x years ago".
Decent, DOOM, Hexen, Surreal 64.. I can't thank you enough for all of this.
Thank you for everything you have done for the xbox modding community, I have personally enjoyed your hard work many times over. I am trying to dip my toes into programming and you are an inspiration.
One of the oddest things ever stated that were true:
"The way that I do play original NeoGeo CD games is to literally just drop it into my Xbox and play it via my emulator." Seeing how he wrote the emulator. Very cool.
I've been lurking since the 2000s and this brought memories back big time. I always wondered why my pc could barely run emulators and the Xbox could do it all back in the day lol.
It's nice to finally see the man who developed the awesome emulators. Thanks for the memories
Legend Achievement unlocked. Are you working on any coding projects currently?
thank you sir! apart from dabbling in some Amiga related ports - i got out of the console scene many many years ago.
@retromancave would like to see you interview modern vintage gamer i know you wont be able to have him in the cave but it could be done on line ?
Noted Ian. Like you I would love to hear many more of his experiences so who knows... maybe :D
no chance for a switch jailbreak that will allow to load android as the second os and get the orange box games for the shield to run then :(
Simos Katsiaris Sure, do it on your own!
Wow, my original Xbox, which my mom bought in 2004 and then my cousins hacked, came with your N64 emulator lol. That is so awesome.
Thanks for all your hard work, especially on Surreal64 and libSDLx, really enjoyed watching this video :)
And big apologies for the crappy "FDB" series, you know what i mean ^^
great to see you man. no apologies needed at all. the good old days , nothing but good memories for me
You're a bloody legend mate. Thank you so much for your work. I now get to share this stuff with my kids because of you.
Let me hereby sincerely thank you for giving me and many others the opportunity the use our original Xbox in so many wonderful and creative ways.
Thank you for progressing the modding scene forward so much. Without you we may not be where we are now in terms of console cfw and emulators.
This was a great little dive into a very interesting piece of gaming history. While I've never been much of a console gamer, I have used my fair share of MAME and NeoGeo emulators for the PC, and I'm always interested in finding out more about all various bits and pieces of gaming history, great to see that actual actors that literally wrote said history - and code - are still among us :)
I just wanted to say thank you! I played the hell out of emulators on my original Xbox. They were all really solid, and I loved the effort you went to to make the interfaces (though I turned off the background music). The N64 in particular was just amazing, most n64 emulators don't work nearly as good on even modern hardware.
Man I used so many of these in the OG xbox days, thanks man! Your channel is awesome too.
Its amazing to hear just how much time and effort you put into these emulators/homebrew. I was introduced to the likes of xSNES9x, FBA-X, and Surreal64 thanks to my dad, and It really gave me something to do/kept me in a good mood growing up!
Thank you for all of your hard work. :) Excellent video.
Love to hear the tales from back in the day. I tried them all pretty much on release, they inspired me to port emulators to GC/Wii. Xbins is still around I think.
emukidid Spoke with the owner about a week ago. Still going strong.
yep xbins is still around :)
Emukidid > aren't you the guy behind Swiss? I remember reading about a lot of your stuff at the time, you were my entry into "the moding scene" in general haha (started learning programing as well) hope I'll be able to contribute as well on the next gen of console
Thanks for the many many hours of fun. Got my system modded back in like 2006. Just broke out my OG XBOX and started playing all the emulators with my son. Crazy to see him playing and loving the games I grew up with.
Good stuff! Thanks for your work and for sharing your experiences.
wow, you got "verified". I suppose with a name like "EposVox", you'd need to be.
Thank you for your hard work, specially thanks for the Killer Instinct Emu
wao so much good memories thank to you & other developers, really appreciated
cause you guys made and became part of my childhood.
Thank you!! I spent a lot of good time playing emulators on my XOBOX! :)
"It doesn't roll well off the tongue, but it's a good name."
Can't argue with that.
Awesome! First off, thank you for your work, to you and all the hackers / coders / modders out there. It's nice to finally put a face to the unseen workers who made all this possible.
Secondly, I recently was given an original Xbox that someone found in their basement. It works, and I am in the process of softmodding it. Back in the day, I had a hardmodded Xbox, but it was stolen several years ago. I am looking forward to getting back into some retro gaming with a nice chunky Xbox controller.
Thanks again. Emulators, modS, and homebrew have provided untold hours of joy and decompression to millions of gamers like me, and I salute the men and women who made that possible. (Including the original game developers.)
If you are ever feeling down just read the comments here. Thank you for all your work it is appriciated!
Super cool! I had no idea! MVG Man, you are awesome. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it.
Im not an xbox owner but I really like your topics on emulation/ hack/ homebrew on various systems....
high five to you mister MVG....cheers from the Netherlands....
no vintage retro gaming for a lot of us out here without emulators and homebrew hacks/ devices
Such a smart dude. I'm into technology too but never coding. You are truly impressive sir!
I'm trying my hand in coding right now and god damn is it difficult. How guys like him figure this stuff out is beyond me.
Holy shit. So you've been part of the emulator scene for Xbox and significant one too. I bought Xbox from my friend used and found out that it was supposed to be fairly useful in many ways. I modded it myself and man was I impressed how well many emulators ran so damn well on it. I mean I had fairly good PC and I was astound of what Xbox was capable of. Especially n64 emulator. Actually just two days ago I fetched the old box to my new home was pleased to see it booting into xbmc without any problems after so many years of collecting dust. Now I just gotta find the damn controller cable breakout part which I didn't notice missing. But huge thanks for your contribution. That machine has q2, emulators and scummvm for sure already installed and it was really nice to hear from people who has been part in their development. Thanks again. Now back to the thought I got after about 30s of this video "I wonder if xbins is still alive or archived somewhere.." :)
I was heavily involved in the PSP Go homebrew scene. although I only liked to help fix bugs and clean up source code. I still feel like I had somewhat of influence on that homebrew scene with Wololo even if it died quickly after starting
that's awesome dude!
@@JulianQuinn I love computer science but sadly my brain can only focus on fun projects or I'd do it for a living
I have a 3 TB modded Xbox with all those emulators, and CoinOps. I still keep coming back to it to play all those awesome games. I remember opening Killing Instincts and being blown away by the graphics and game play I was getting from the Xbox console. I also couldn't believe how smooth Surreal 64 ran, and still does. Thanks for all your hard work, it is very much appreciated!
Cheers from Romania. Xbox Classic is the best
Thank you for your work! Even though I never had an Xbox, I appreciate greatly the work people like you do - enhancing the consoles lazy companies won't do themselves. And your fight against them being angry that you did better job is an amazing story of bravery and intelligence. Scene won't die thank to people like you!
my dads softmodded xbox was my hecking childhood thank you
A billion times, thank you my friend for the hard work you put in. You made alot of gamers so happy with your work in the modding community. It's a honor to be a subscriber to your channel. You're a freaking hero 😀👍
This is a great and interesting video , thank's a lot for your work I love play my emulators con my xbox classic :)
I wish I could do this
I still have my old Xbox and the only real reason I bought it in 2003 was because of the Emulators and Homebrew... I was very surprized that I played games on your emulators. Absolute respect to you and what you have done back then. Thanks
Love your videos man
You are a bad ass! My wife got my brand new original xbox modded in Feb 2004 for my birthday, and it came with project 64, that xbox is still in my collection til this day, at the time 200 gig hard drive was huuuge. Thank you so much for bringing me so much joy, I had been watching your channel and playing my xbox without even knowing you are the man. Awesome
You my sir, are a legend
I just randomly started watching your videos and found out it was you though this video that made all the emulators for the og Xbox.... I would like to thank you so much for your hard work. I became the envy of my friends through your work, of how cool the og Xbox really was.. I miss the og Xbox modding scene 😥
Man, remember the days of having to go on IRC to get ANYTHING
I was a user when you were a creator, so thank you! That was a fun era and the modded Xbox was everything I loved about gaming in one system for so many years. My Xbox was more powerful than my PC back then, so it was just a killer emulation platform for me. Xbins really takes me back :D
“In hindsight I was like, ...why?”
wow! Being a not no fortunate kid back then and living in a poor country (Brazil) I was only able to get my hands on a Xbox way past this golden era of emulation, but when I got one, I played pretty much all of the emulators you developed. That's so amazing to watch your video and somehow being in touch with the person responsible for bringing me so joy. Thank you so much for all you have done!
it blows my mind you made surreal 64. that shit was my childhood
I was lucky enough to have an XBOX with your Emulators. I was in the army and stuck due to an injury. Because of you, I remained sane. I had a small display but it felt like the real deal. Thanks so much! It blows my mind. I have been subscribed for a long time and was just playing some older videos of yours. I can't believe I wasn't aware of your contributions.
love it .. there are many people out there that would love to say thanks i bet
I'm from México, here back the day, custom arcade machines with literally a mounted original Xbox inside (and Xbox controllers mapped into the arcade joystick) running Unleashed X with the bast mayority of the emulators you create start to appear. Remember nigths in the block playing KOF and even Súper Smash Bros. You really are part of lots of people's childhood, thanks man.
