And how did they work? To my knowledge Sony made emulators for PS1 and PS2 for PS3. Hackers ripped them even out so you could try to use these emulators with games which weren't allowed to be played/bought.

that's will be on another question tho, but it's not pure emulator like PCSX on PC  it's more like PS3 software emulation on PS Network, but for sure the game it self is recreated with the same aset and worked with XBox one API, I am not calling port but they just re use the game  VM under Xbox One API. 

I don't think it is a question - Sony implemented more than one PS2 emulator, for example, and many games worked only with a special emulator. I found this on GAF: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=526722

And I can't read what you said about the recreation? I didn't understand. I think it is still the same game that thinks it's running on a 360, it's a "real" vm. The magic is done by the hypervisor making it run on the Xbone.
