To boot ReactOS on the xbox you need a custom version of the Cromwell bootloader along with the ReactOS-Xbox Hardware Abstraction Layer.

We are asking currently seeking help to complete the following outstanding issues:

1. No USB support. Because of this the mouse and keyboard do not function under ReactOS on the Xbox.

2. Support for loading the NVidia Windows Graphics Drivers. The NVidia drivers for Windows work under ReactOS on a standard PC however the Xbox uses a slightly modifyed GeForce chipset so some modifications will have to be made to the ReactOS HAL to trick the GeForce driver in to loading.

3. The NForce Network card driver is not yet tested and supported under ReactOS. Once we are able to run the vendor driver under ReactOS then it should also work under ReactOS-Xbox.
