I saw some comments in this thread and previous threads about homebrew projects for the XBox (emulators specifically.) To avoid people being disappointed when they want to play games for (insert console here) system on their newly modded XBox, here is some information on the current state of emulators for the XBox.

Firstly, there is not yet an N64 emulator that runs well. There are the preliminaries of a port of Daedalus for the XBox, including a leaked beta binary. It runs so-so because it was still early in development. This is not a comment on the author - I'm sure something will be developed soon that will make the majority of people happy, but don't get your hopes up about emulating all your favorite N64 games just yet.

There is also no PSX emulator yet. You can find the usual hype/marketing ploys on modchip reseller webpages about modchips allowing you to emulate "great systems like SNES, N64, PSX...". Please remember when you read such things that these people want your money. Look into it yourself first. There are no PSX emulators for the XBox yet. I'm sure something will be ported over in the future ( or Linux-on-Xbox will be able to run a linux PSX emu at a decent speed soon).

The good news, however, is that the world of emulation on the XBox is unparalleled on any other console. Here is a list of emulators ported to the XBox which work almost flawlessly:

Stella (Atari 2600)

Gnuboy (Gameboy/Gameboy Color)

FCEUltra (NES)

SMSPlus (GameGear/Sega Master System>

HU-GO (Turbografx-16/PC-Engine)

NeoPop (NeoGeo Pocket Color)

DGen (Sega Genesis)

Bochs (x86)
Bochs emulates the PC architecture and has prebuilt packages for running DOS 6.22, Windows 3.11, and Windows 95. Windows runs too slowly in Bochs to do anything useful, but it runs old DOS games very well.

Snes9x (SNES)

MAME (Arcade machines)

Daedalus (N64)

Frodo (Commodore 64) (url?)

Handy (Atari Lynx) (url?)

GBA (Gameboy Advance) (url?)

Final Burn (Arcade/CPS2 esp) (url?)

Owning a modded XBox allows you to easily play just about all of your console classics on the TV in your living room. (No, not everyone has computers in every room of their house yet. :P ) IMHO, the most fun I've had with my XBox so far is playing games on all of the above emulators. Now that there is a solderless modchip, just about anyone can enjoy them also.

Linux on the XBox is truly a great accomplishment and it deserves the limelight, but we shouldn't forget the other homebrew projects that have made owning an XBox like owning just about every popular, classic console. Here's a list of consoles that have had emulators ported to the XBox:

Atari 2600, Gameboy/Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Game Gear/Sega Master System, Commodore-64, Atari Lynx, TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine, NeoGeo Pocket Color, NES/Famicom, SNES/Super Famicom, Genesis/Megadrive, MAME, and X86 (Bochs).

Here's a website for most of the above:

http://xport.xb-power.com

There are pre-made packages for the "Bochs for XBox" project that run DOS 6.22, Windows 3.11, and Windows 95. Granted, Windows 95 runs too slowly to do anything truly useful, but it runs. Bochs on XBox does a great job of emulating all those great old DOS games, though. These people, along with the other XBox home-brewers, should also be commended for their fine work.

Just like Evolution-X & RelaX et al for the Xbox?

True, your Xbox has to be modded to run these, and they're harder to find, but they've been around for some time now.
