Original Xbox emulation has traditionally been a very hard thing to get right over the years, but the recent release of xemu v0.5 for PC has been described as a "major milestone" by its creators, adding a selection of new features.
"In addition to a host of graphics improvements, fixes to enable broader BIOS compatibility, and general usability improvements: preliminary audio support has been added," reads the description for the video above.
Xemu is still far from perfect - only around 150+ games have been reported playable so far - but it's great to see the project making progress, and the games that do work seem to be running pretty well for the most part.

I bought a Xbox years ago on Ebay that plays backup games. All I really played on it was SSX Tricky and the Tony Hawk franchise. They just need to release remasters for Tricky and the TH 3,4, and Thug series and I can retire it.
@KonstantTrouble While Tricky is definitely the better game SSX 3 is playable on the XB1/Series X/S, if that means anything.
All I really want is Jet Set Radio Future. The moment that’s playable, I’ll snap up a physical copy for probably an absolute fortune and then rip it for use with Xemu.
Crimson Skies was great.

I’d love to play JSRF with a smooth frame rate again... the 360 emulation slows to a crawl on some levels. Another one I was hoping would run well on this was crazy taxi 3 but alas it’s not listed as “playable”
