Depends upon the game. If it's a DOS game, try DOSEmu (apt-get install dosemu in Xebian to install). Afterwards, you'll likely need to run dosemu not as dosemu, but as xdosemu. If it's a Windows game, Wine (apt-get install wine) may *or may not* run it. Regardless, there is no 3-D support on the XBox, so all games will run at lower resolutions/details (assuming they run at all). Try searching around for a site regarding the particular game you want to run (Half-Life, for instance) for more info.

how do u get ozx memory to recognize my usb memory stick. i have a sandisk 256 and ozx say "NO FatX at drive" If your mem stick isn't formatted as FATX, then you need to start up your XBox to Microsoft's dashboard and insert your memstick. THe Dashboard will say the disk has been damaged and has been reformated. BE ADVISED: all of your data previously on your mem stick WILL be gone! I don't know about the 2004 Holiday Bundle, but most of the 2003 Holiday Bundles XBoxes *should* be v1.

No. Just because it is made by Microsoft doesn't mean it has to play PC games. Note: Xbox games will not work on PC's aswell.

The install guide suggests that if I still want to play games, I should install linux with dual boot functionality. My understanding of this is that I would then be booting linux from an xbox dash (Avalaunch in my case). If this is the case would I be still be able to play backed-up games through avalaunch? I would have though this to be an obvious yes, but the FAQ says the following:

No and this includes demo discs from the Official Xbox Magazine. Additional info (thanks to Byron Hinson): Here is the official quote I got on it the other day from Microsoft. "The North American box will only play North American games. The regional encoding is set when it passes through certification and in to the authorized replicators.

Xbox games are designed to make use of the Xbox video game system's superior hardware and online gaming capabilities. It is not possible to play these games on a personal computer or any other video game system.

Necronomicon, like most conventions, offers a number of games, both tabletops and freeforms, from a range of categories. Most conventions will include some horror, science fiction, fantasy, and comedy. Some games will be run using a particular games system, although players rarely need to have rules knowledge, and others will be systemless.

Download disk images (e.g. .dsk, .nib, .2mg files) and use these as virtual disks to play the games on a PC or Mac via Apple II or Apple IIgs emulator software. Popular Apple II emulators include AppleWin and Apple Oasis. Normally disk images will be in .zip or .gz compressed form when downloaded. Use WinZip or a similar utility to uncompress these files. Download and uncompress the disk images of games you want to play. Then, transfer the images to your Apple II (or IIgs)-- e.g.

Each region uses 2 separate ways to identify DVDs and games. All North and South American Xboxes use the NTSC format for DVDs and games, and DVDs use another type of format called the region code. If you are staying in the same general region you should be able to play games properly, but DVDs from that region will most likely not work.

Yes, you most certainly can. However, it is not possible to offer compatibility out of the box for all Xbox titles due to hardware conflicts between the two systems.

The Xbox 360 will be backward compatible with the old games - this is done using something called an "emulation profile" which tells the new console how to play your old game - one is needed for each game. The top 100 selling games will have their profiles on the Hard Drive so titles such as Halo 2, Forza, and Project Gotham Racing 2 etc will play fine on the new console. Games outside the top 100 will also be supported as additional profiles will be available to download.

Yes. Most new games work with Windows 2000. However, some games won't work. Check the game manufacturer's web site for more information on settings and compatibility.

No, PC games cannot be played on the Xbox 360 also burned discs or discs from other video game systems cannot be played either.

Absolutely, Java supports multiple types of systems! All you need is a browser that supports Java. We have seen our games run on many different types of UNIX systems. If you are using the X11 GUI interface, make sure you are running the games directly on that UNIX system otherwise you may bring your server and network down to a crawl (guess how we found this out!).

Only if they are Linux games, and do not require 3d acceleration. Command and Conquer games are made for Windows, not Linux, and therefore will likely not work. You might be able to tweak WINE to get them to work, but the Xbox's limited memory will stifle your ability to play enjoyably.

Playing backup copies of games has nothing to do with Linux. You'll need a hack from someone else like XBox Scene (http://www.xbox-scene.com) to run backed up games: neither the MechAssault method nor Cromwell runs backup games. If you have a modchip that can run backup games, the you could install Linux too. You could, but if you're going to do the hardware modification (presumably with a modchip with a switch), there there is no need for the software modification anymore.

Unfortunately No, the North American box will only play North American games. The regional encoding is set when it passes through certification & in to the authorized replicators. North American Xbox systems will only play NTSC games, Japanese boxes will play NTSC-J games & Europe & the rest of the PAL territories will only play games marked with the PAL symbol.

Online gameplay with Warp Pipe is strictly for the Nintendo Gamecube. However, if you would like to bring your Xbox online, we invite you to check out XbConnect. It's a free service, much like Warp Pipe, that allows you to play system-link Xbox games online.

Xbox was designed with high-definition TV support specifically in mind. Xbox supports HDTV and TV resolutions up to 1920x1080 with the purchase of the High Definition AV Pack. The High Definition AV Pack supports HDTV RGB video and your choice of RCA Audio or Digital Audio over optical cable.

Screenlife games are designed to play on any device that supports DVD play. As you may know, with Xbox, a converter is needed for DVD play. With PlayStation, you will not need a converter. Screenlife games can also be played on a laptop if the laptop has updated DVD player software. If you find that your laptop software is not compatible with Optreve?, you can go to www.interactual.com for a free download of the optimal DVD software.

Compatible broadband router (e.g. BT Home Hub or a Voyager 205) with a spare Ethernet port or wireless networking The first two items are available from your local games store, Xbox Live Gold is also available on the Xbox 360 dashboard, the latter two from BT as a convenient package. BT Total Broadband is subject to availability, survey and compatibility. BT line or non-cable line required. Usage guidelines and conditions apply.

No. There is no such emulator. There is however there are emulator available to play PS1 games, N64, SNES, NES, MAME, NEO-GEO etc.

This depends heavily on whether or not the game is hosted in Microsoft's servers or on a private companies servers. Most likely, all games will be covered by the standard online price.

Remember, the IO is basically a standard pentium class PC with a standard BIOS and a 16MB flash memory card. Please read some of the messages in the "Technical" area on the I-Appliance Discussion Forum BBS, you will find many posts there talking about different OS's and how other installations went.
