    They did it! They finally did it! The Matrix Online now has a somewhat stable emulator that you can actually play. I’ve been keeping track of the different emulators for MXO and how they have been progressing since the server shutdown and this is by far the best. Having said that it’s still pretty damn broken. Combat doesn’t work, the character creation barely works and there’s not a lot to do besides /dance (Always be dancing). I will always have a special place in my heart for MXO and an emulator will never do it justice but I find this sort of thing fascinating. So take a journey with me as Pascual jacks in again!
     
         

     
     EDIT: I forgot to add the link to download this magic. Now since the time of recording they have made it a bit harder. For some reason they locked the forums and you have to request a account. If you still want in this site if the place to start MXO Source

    Actually they're emulating a simulation of The Matrix, this thing goes even deeper!
     
    I'm surprised they brought out the emulator so soon, then again I didn't think they'd release it this broken. Still, it's a pretty cool novelty, I can't wait to see it once it's fixed properly.

    So what exactly is it emulating? It's obvious that it doesn't know how to use parts of the game client, but I'm not familiar with the concept of emulation for PC games. Is it just creating a framework for accessing things on the disk?

    Some very wise GiantBomb member reminded me that I didn't post the link to the emulator. I've since rectified this problem and all the info can be found in the first post.

    yeah it is emulating the SOE servers (the client will be modded to connect to the emulated ones ip) will most like consist mainly of a database with huge amounts of data, I've fool with a wow emulator before that shit is buggy but I was able to use GM commands to spawn gear and mobs etc for great lowls for about 2hr >.> (none of the bosses really work right so just tank and spank for one then lvl to 100 and 1 shot things)

    Your enthusiasm is really commendable, and that's got to be really hellish to emulate on the coders part.  Yeah would be funny to hear the reaction of the guys on the Bombcast.  Reminds me of messing with an Ultima Online emulator years ago.  Was incredible to even get the engine running, online or not.
