Re: Emulater
runs on the PC and allows you to play XBOX games on the PC via the emulator

Re: Emulater
There are two Xbox emulators, both use XBE format for the games, the chances are however, that few people have a machine powerful enough to run anything worthwhile on them.

Re: Emulater
Can you store xbox games on them? May be worth while getting one if you can?

? It's an emulator, i.e. a bit of software you run, you might be able to back up Xbox titles (that you already own) if they're in the XBE format to your hard drive but from what I gather most games are in the Xbox ISO format and won't be runnable.

You can indeed have a larger hard drive than the standard one provided originally. A few guys I work with have all modded their Xboxes and upgraded the HDD ....but don't tell anyone I told you that

Re: Emulater
I didn't think that a standard PC DVD drive could read a XBOX DVD as they are written using a special format (hence copy protected) might be wrong though?!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's illegal.

in the uk yes, even if you own the original game, uk copyight has no 'fair use' clause.... for example, you do not have the right to copy a cd you own onto tape or another cd to play in the car. If the manufacturer has given express permission for a single 'backup' copy then i would have thought you are in the clear, but afaik no xbox games have that clause....
of course they would have to catch you first... LOL
