How to play playstation 1 games on xbox

Microsoft is constantly improving the Xbox user experience, updating existing features and releasing new apps. Recently, Microsoft upgraded the Edge web browser for Xbox , bringing a host of improvements to the Xbox web browsing experience. It's been discovered that gamers can use the Xbox Edge browser for more than just surfing the web, though; it can also be used to run classic PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64 games.

It should be noted however that emulation is a legally grey area that has seen certain sites offering emulated games having lawsuits filed against them.
