Stick the disc in your DVD drive. It's that simple.

i doubt that an xbox emulator for PC would actually work correctly anyway...there would be too many techical glitches to get it to work right....

yea, just think of what it takes to run on an xbox and then think about what a PC has... Nothing like an xbox

that is true, there would also be hardware conflicts and they would also have to get the xbox signature code unlocker correct to evenr think about being able to run the disc...it is kind of like regional settings on a DVD player...which is why you can't run an american DVD in England or vive versa bacause of regional restrictions...but of yourse you can mod your hardware to accept those settings...

Lmao, an X-Box is a PC with an intel processor running a stripped version of windows XP.. it should be easy to run xbox games on a pc..

Yeah, its not. There are a lot of issues with xbox and PC compatibility.

Xbox is actually fairly similar to the PC. This can be done, but don't expect it to run on the majority of people's computers. Xbox runs a highly modified windows XP and has a modified Nvidia chip. Technically speaking, could you just do all the processor and BIOS emulating and try to take apart an XBOX and put the components into a PC?

Anyway, XBOX emulators are out there but none, NONE, will be able to play games. Just title screens and maybe some menus. Expect Gamecube to be cracked first, then I'd say XBOX, then PS2. That' pretty much been the order before. Nintendo's always cracked the fastest. In fact a lot of games 'work' on the emulators, but either go too fast or too slow or have major graphics errors. Playstation took soooo long to make a good emulator for, so I don't expect it to come out for a while.

the only problem is that the xbox was made so you could not do that, but micro$hit apparently didn't do a very good job at that...
