Has anyone gotten Windows to run on a X-Box?

I know someone got linix running on it, and it being a M$ machine you'd think it be easy to get something like windows 95 running on it.

It runs Linux, what more do you want? Windows is shit.

What can i say i'm not a fan, plus i dont know how Linux handles PC game witch is all i want it for, i'll be fun to see how the PC verison of KOTOR would run.

It wouldn't run well, if at all.

That seems a little silly. Does it run better than PCSxbox? I think that is what it is called, I haven't used it in a while so I am not sure.

Well i figured as much, that 64ram it gots would hurt it, i guess it would all depened if it was a modded verison of windows to run on the x-box or a emulated one.

PCSXBox doesn't have excellent compatibilty. Nowhere near as good as ePSXe 1.5.2.


The Xbox; can have its RAM upgraded to 128mb. Also, I reckon it COULD run Windows 98 or ME/2000.

I know, but does it run well on linux running off an xbox without upgraded ram?

Don't know, sorry.

It can run Windows through an emulator in Linux, thats it. The problem is the vastly different architecture, and more importantly, the bios Windows needs to boot, which Linux does not. On top of that, since the graphics chip is closed (no open development kit that uses the graphics chip without the use of the official (and illegal, thus why Linux doesnt use it) XDK), Linux doesnt function at its peak, and lacks any sort of graphics acceleration.

And SL does certain things well, like Mugen, but really, without the needed open source development kit with graphics support, it cant do all that much. But progress was made a few weeks (months?) back on that front, though I dont know how far its gone.

Really, how? is that all?

And ya put ME on it, lets have to reformatt it once a month

Its not that easy, it just simply wont work without running in an emulator.
