How do I get emulators and roms on my Xbox?

I know where to find ROMs, but I need to know what emulators work with Xbox, and how to put them and the roms on the Xbox.

I also need to know what I need and the terms.

I don't know where to get a chip and what a ftp thing is...

Help please. :(

First of all you need a modded xbox.

That means it's been either fitted with a mod-chip or soft-modded (ie. a vulnerability has been exploited). That'll enable your xbox to play dvd-rs or original games from any region. I suggest you find an electronics vendor, who supply this service, since that's the easiest solution for anyone new to the world of modchips. The operation takes no more than 30 mins, and isn't costly.

Some people also like to add a bigger HDD once their XB has been chipped, this is not necessary if you just wanna play emulators tho'

Secondly you need to state which systems you're interested in emulating, since the list of XB emulators is long. See for yourself (note! most of these are ports of PC emulators);

So when you're XB is ready to read DVD-Rs, and you have decided which emulators you want to try, feel free to come back here, and we'll help.

BTW: FTP = File Transfer Protocol. In short you connect your XB to your PC and transfer any files you want to.

Do I have to buy a chip? If so, where?

And is there any way of modding without putting some chip in?

There are several online retailers that deals in modchips, just do a google search for "modchip xbox", but then you'll have to install it yourself. Check the yellow pages to see who will do the operation locally for you, and at what price.

Yes you can mod an XB with a so-called soft-mod. It's usually some sort of savegam,e exploit, and can be a somewhat lenghty not to mention tricky process. I'm not direct linking to anything, but again, google is your friend; "xbox softmod"

Ok, a friend of mine is helping me mod my Xbox, softmodding, too. So, he said you need to install some FTP program on your Comp b4 transfering the roms/emulators to your Xbox. Please elabortate.:happy:

Also, thanks for all your help. I am a newb with Xbox modding, though I can do quite well on all of Sony's systems. Imagine that.:dry:

Hello Toecutter II, I'm new on this forum... I have some questions about this subject, maybe you can help me (or someone else):

- Is there a way to play multiplayer GBA on XBox?
- I haven't seen any Saturn emulator, is there any SS emulator?
- Can I play 3D MAME fighting games like Dead or Alive or Tekken 3 on XBox?

Thank you in advance :)

do you have the unleashx dashboard or xbox media centre or an app called dvd2xbox coz you can burn the roms to cd in the form of a data disc.then you can use unleashx or xbmc file explorer to copy the roms to whichever emulators rom folder that you want.dvd2xbox will also copy the roms to your hdd if you burn them to disc.

I haven't done much reading on the XBox emulators, but are they fully compatiable for it? I recall a year ago reading some articles about it... including ones for the 360 (which required some extensive hacking).

as far as i know it is possible with some emulators but you always need to hack it, wich can oftenly be done by people in your neigborhood but it will cost you around 100$ {don't know for sure}

How do I connect my Xbox to the internet through my laptop? I have DSL, I have a wireless router plugged into the modem, I have one computer connected directly to the router and a laptop connected wirelessly. I want to hook up my Xbox to my laptop to connect to Xbox Live but when I enable internet connection sharing on the laptop it tells me that the default address used for internet connection sharing is already in use, even though both the computer and the laptop are configured to use ip address' above 192.168.0.102 so as to not block the default ICS port (192.168.0.101). What can I do to fix this?

Those are internal network IPs. Everyone has them and uses the same number range from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. It's impossible to do anything with those IP's as they are unreachable behind the NAT and won't gain you anything. It's completely safe, hell posting your WAN (what people on the internet connect to) isn't going to hurt you much either unless someone is specifically out to get you or you have shit security..

Anyhow
Why don't you just hook your Xbox up to the router? why are you going through your laptop?

I'm interested in what this soft mod is called and/or where to get it. Any and all info would be apreciated. The last thing I modded was a PS1 with a solder chip, and I'm not trying to melt the Xbox board.

if your looking to softmod then you have 2 choices you can either do the hotswap method or you can use the gamesave exploit hack which is much easier.
and getting emus and roms on your xbox is easy if you know how to ftp.
or you can just burn them to cdrw/dvdr and the xbox will read them off the discs or you can burn the discs to the xbox hdd with dvd2xbox.
