Holy smileys.....lol.
I moved your topic to the emu section in hopes that the emu junkies would be able to assist you.
Firstly, there are a couple ways to get the roms where you need.
One way would be via FTP. This is connecting your Xbox to your PC and transferring files from the PC to the Xbox. I suggest using FlashFXP, but I recently used the newest version of WSFTP and it worked fine.
Once you have your connection established, you will transfer the roms on your PC into the rom folder of the emulator. For instance, if you are transferring Atari 2600 roms. Those would go into:
F:/Apps/Emulators/Stella/a2600roms
And, those would be .bin file formatted roms.
If you were sending over MameOX roms, they would be .zip format files and they would go to:
F:/Apps/Emulators/MameOx/roms
Of course, if you have your emulators installed in E, or G. then you would substitute the F:/ for a G:/ or E:/
The other way is using a copy and transfer type of command with certain dashboards or programs. I have never tried using DVD2Xbox to do this, but I imagine you could.
You would put the rom disk into your Xbox DVD drive and then go to the browse HD menu. You can then navigate around and possibly navigate to the D:/ Drive which is the DVD drive of your xbox. Then, highligh the files you want to transfer and give it a shot.
I have done this with Avalaunch so I know it works that way.
You can use the AID to install avalaunch as an application to your F:/apps folder and then just open it up from the, Lanuch Applications, menu list.
Then, use the file transfer capabilities of avalaunch to move files from the dvd drive of the xbox to any partition/folder on your HD. I did that with a NES roms disk I got from someone once. At the time, my PC didnt have a dvd drive that read dvd-r's so I used avalaunch and my xbox dvd drive to do the transfer.
Let me know if you need anymore help.

When they're on your HDD it's not much different, just go to X:\Emulators (X being your drive letter), and look above for where the roms go..
