Paperboy game

prom king · May 31st, 2012, 08:55

Ok so I want to run Paperboy for Xbox on PC but how do I do it? Dxbx only runs .xbw files and the game that I got doesn't have extension. When I tried re-naming it to .xbe I got the message that magic number is not correct.

I thought there wouldn't be much problem running this game trough emulators since it's not graphically demanding and it's only 50 MB. So is there a way of running this game on my WinXP?

Are you aware that Dxbx is an Xbox 1 emulator, not 360?

Well yeah to be frank I didn't even know there was Xbox 1 or do I even know what's the difference between them. But I see now that xbox version of Paperboy is not much different then the old one so I guess why bother anyway? But I also see that there's much better version of Paperboy for iphone but I guess there's no emulator for that.

Paperboy was released MANY platforms since 1984. If you want to play that badly, I recommend you emulate one of those platforms instead. Btw, there's only one known iPhone emulator, but it was a source-only release (meaning you need a compiler to build it) and it isn't functional enough to emulate anything more advanced than an iPhone 2G and the touch screen doesn't work yet last time I checked.

Wait, you've NEVER heard of Xbox1? How old are you?

Well yeah I'm 104 so that's why I never heard much about Xbox. But really I'm not into games it's just that my nephew likes to play that old Paperboy on emulators and I thought to look up if there were any newer versions of it and there were but only for iphone and some awful one for some N64.

Wait, you're 104? Or is that a typo?

No typo, just a troll.
