Xbox on my pc?

SolidMGSnake1 · Mar 8, 2006, 10:52 AM

Hi guys and gals,

I’m new to the forums, and I must say this is the most comprehensive set of discussion topics I have ever seen, moving on; I have an x800xt AIW, and an old Xbox in a drawer collecting dust. I was just wondering, is there any way I could plug it up to my pc and play? What program would I have to use? Would I need to switch back to regular ATI drivers instead of Omega ones? Any one have any insight on this that can help me out?

As long as you have the WDM's you're fine. You just hook it up to the video in like a regular VCR then use anything else other than MMC to view it (Something like DScaler)

Good luck with that

Oh, dang, you can do that!
Man, my Nintendo64 is so being pulled out of the boxes!

You didn't know?

It was the only reason I bought an AiW: Turn a PC and N64 into a PC64!

Haha, no, I didn't. I'm new to the whole ATi VIVO thing, really...

Its great. I have N64 and PC living in peace.

It made me mod my N64

OK I have done that before but I don't really understand the point? Why can't you just plug it into your tv? It is the same and on the tv it's not laggy at all and you might notice it on the computer a little bit.

Not if TVoD is disabled

monitor = HDTV on crack...that's why

As for hooking it up, if you have a big enough case, I've even seen the motherboard for the XBox mounted on the other side of the case from the PC board in a big enough case, vantec PSU's have an AC Outlet, so you can daisy chain that, and get a long enough ribbon cable to mount the XBox DVD ROM in an opend rive bay, and you have an XPC

I saw one guy mount 8 consoles and a PC inside a case once... I gotta find that mod, it was in MaxPC
