I agree with Defiant, it does seem a bit pointless to me.

Most decent XBox games come out on PC, & vice versa, so why bother emulating an XBox on a PC?

Also, PC DVDROM drives cannot read XBox discs*...so AFAIK the only way to run an XBox game on a PC with XBox emulator would be to use an illegal copy or image. You couldn't just stick a legit XBox game disc into your PC.

Still, it's quite a good achievement anyway, I guess.

* (well, there is a way round that, with one particular make & model of DVDROM drive, but it requires a firmware change, and may - I'm not sure - then have problems reading normal PC DVDROM discs)
