|The decision was made to create an HLE / LLE Xbox emulation project which is maintained similar to Dolphin or Citra. A key focus was on design simplicity. The project started as a continuation of kvmbox, with devices being copied from the XQEMU source code. The project was called kvmbox-reloaded, while the name was being decided. The HLE portion was never worked on.
