Just wanting to know how would you play computer games on the xbox, whats the best way? Do I need roms to play or can I just put the game disk in and install them to the xbox? _________________

What games are you looking to play? There are some great PC->Xbox ports like DoomX. _________________

games like World of Warcraft, Doom w/Jdoom, Wolf 3d, and other classics.
Though I'll bet that WoW uses too much ram to play on the Xbox.
Dude love the name. lol _________________

Wow could never run on an xbox, thats out of the question. To play old games like doom, warcraft 1 and quake you would use dosbox. The xbox can only play dos games, nothing newer than that. _________________

How do I use the dosx emu? Do I need to copy the games to a roms folder from the computer, put it in a zip file? Does it matter weather it's zipped or rar? _________________

Yes I'm running a computer emulator on my computer because windows XP is too new to play dos games. Thats why you get a dos emulator because has the dos it needs to play the game built in. _________________

Oh ok, but I have never had problems playing dos games on my XP. I guess I'm just going to have to try a few things to see how to get dosx to play my games. _________________
