TL;DR
- The latest version of emulator HakuX brings Halo, Forza, and other original Xbox games to Android handhelds.
- Reportedly, 80% of the available games that were tested on the Retroid Pocket 5 were able to hit their original frame rate caps at double the resolution.
- However, some games required installing custom Turnip graphics drivers to run properly.
Xbox emulation on Android hasn’t exactly been great. Emulators have struggled to consistently run original Xbox games well. However, the latest version of HakuX, an original Xbox emulator, just made the Xbox emulation scene a little more exciting.
Retro Dodo reports that HakuX has received a new update — version 1.2.0. This update reportedly brings significant performance improvements, particularly on Adreno-based Android handhelds. With those improvements, several titles now run as well as they would on original Xbox hardware.
