    I just downloaded some roms and some emulators and I have to admit I know nothing about how to play these, what I need to do play them on my pc and on my Xbox. I know that I have to have my Xbox modded which I am about to purchase a Action Replay two weeks from now and one of the original games needed to Softmod my Xbox.

    What else do I need to do to play games on my pc and Xbox. I have most of the emulators that work on the Xbox but I just don't know what to do.

I just downloaded a mame emulator to play some of the arcade classics on my pc but I have do some type of c:\prompts and I have to admit I don't nothing about this.I want to play these games on pc. Also I know that i have to mod my XBOX but that doesn't mean I can learn how to play these game on my XBOX harddrive after it is modded and learn that now. So what is your point?

    Well I kinda know that. I have almost all the emulators that run on Xbox. Then I have two emulators that run on the pc. Both the pc and Xbox emulators will run roms am I right? Ok So I am just trying to find out a tutorial now on how to load and play roms on my xbox once I mod it. I also want to know how to play roms on my pc with pc emulators. Can someone else please help me out.

    oh, to play roms on your xbox, download them under the games folder or if the emulator has a roms folder then ftp it to there. you can open up the emulator and use the file explorer to run the default.xbe and it will start the game

    I am going to bookmark this. Hopefully this will work. So I have to creat a folder for the roms? As you can see I am a noob. What do I do with the emulators

    your modded dashboard will probably have an emus folder in it. And probably a games folde. download the emulator to the emus folder. the emu folder could have a roms folder, if it does then download the roms to it. if it doesn't then download the roms to the games folder.
