Is There A Way To Use An Original Xbox As A Removable Device For Pc Options

[theRK]

I've been messing around in my spare time with mods on various devices and recently I've unpacked my old Xbox v1.0 and I remembered reading about the many mods out there and specifically the emulation power.

Anyway it got me thinking I Emulate many of my old games on my PC and love it, however we all know a PC is limited on it's emulations having to share it's processes with other components where as a Xbox does not..

Now I've spent about a month now researching and have found little to nothing on the subject so I've decided I need to break down and ask for help

I'm looking to convert my original Xbox System into a Removable USB Emulation Device for the PC
I'm not just looking to run my Xbox on my PC rather I want to use my Xbox to run the emulation giving the emulation everything it needs to run perfect yet leaving the PC safe and free to operate much like a virtual drive with it's own hardware and power supply

I am aware that I can mod my Xbox and install emulators on it however I'm not interested in doing this I'm more interested in stripping the actual operating system and dedicating it's full capability to emulation of games, virtual drives, and virtual devices

"Its full capability..."

You realize that even a mid-range PC from seven years back will run circles around the Xbox, right? And that a modern PC's being "limited on its emulations" is like saying that the Grand Canyon is filling up because the Colorado runs?

The overhead, both perceived and real, is mooooore than well accounted for by the PC itself.

Is your PC circa 2001? What do you expect to gain from a 733Mhz PIII and an ancient GPU? Also, you misunderstand how USB fundamentally works.

I admire creativity, but you are asking about strapping a small racing hare to a Camry.

well that explains why no one has done it thanks for breaking it down

do you have any suggestions on other ways to create such an emulation environment?

I figured being that a the average PC can't emulate xbox games 100% that the xbox system would some how make emulation better

this is the first time I've thought about moding an xbox

You want to have the xbox run emulators and connect to a PC? That's perfectly fine, but it is not necessarily any better at emulating stuff than the PC - it's emulator software is typically ported from PC.

Or as your title says " Is There A Way To Use An Original Xbox As A Removable Device For Pc" - you want the xbox to be a USB storage device? You can run a small linux and have it be a somewhat slow network storage device.

You should probably just mod the thing and install some emulators - check out emuxtras.net
