    GHobo, look at it like this. The PC and Xbox are two different machines that read two different languages. Your Xbox ISOs are not written in a language that your PC can understand, which means your PC needs a seperate program to emulate the Xbox. And there are no emulators for the PC that emulate the Xbox very well.

    hahaha.. 8 years people have been asking this pointless question, and as an xbox used is £10 I really don't understand why people who want to play xbox don't just go and buy one.

    the pc can't read an original disk because it is in xiso format (reverse helix) and the file is the same.. it's like a mirror image of a normal disk.

    emulators never worked, and the people writing them gave up after realising the coppermine cpu used in the xbox used a custom instruction set which was never published (and probably never will be) making even a simple emulation always a shot in the dark.. I believe the only game ever run on an emulator (badly) was turok.
