I doubt it but are there any emulators out there that run Xbox on a PC or anyway to get a Xbox game to run on a PC?
Any help would be much appreciated!

There was never let me repeat never an Emulator released that would let you play XBOX? Games on a PC. First of The XBOX? uses a propriotory File Format called FATX (File Allication Table XBOX?) which was ment from the the word go Not to be read by 'dowz PC'z. So this is why you have to Rip Games stright from the XBOX?? via a FTP Transfer. Some Poeople have tried making FATX Emulators before (for HDD Preperations), but it was buggy as hell and IIRC it never got out of alpha, before the Author gave up on it. And that was like Three years ago.

Every XBOX? Emulator I ever came across (or heard of), was nothing more then a Trjoan Virus! So if you wanna feel lucky? Do youself and those around you and update your Antiviurs Software first!

I almost gaurantee that once the 360 is released that someone will make an emulator because I dont know if you have been reading about backwards compatability with the xbox, but in order for the 360 to play xbox games, the hdd is going to be loaded with an xbox emulator on it with patches for the games preloaded and as they are developed the patches will be available through Xbox Live. The only problem left beyond that point is breaking the FATX code.

Which should be a boom for those with a I'm better then you... G5 Macheads then. Given that the 360 has a G5PPC CPU in it and not an Intel inside. Funny World were living in these days!

I'm not saying that it couldn't eventualy get ported to the x86-64 platform. But, I don't think it's going to be as simple as that.

BTW: OT: Did you see the Pictures the TeamSMARXX released today of the XeXDK on www.xbox-scene.com?? Looks like at least One Modchip maker is set to try takeing a crack at it. But, I think I'm going to chill on the 360 till after the PSX3 comes out. And the price drops a bit. ?399.00(EUR) is a bit steap. Besides I just bought a PSP Value Pack for ?339.00(EUR) and that's enough for me right now.

There are emulator attempts in existence and still under construction (i.e. cxbx) but nothing stable.

I agree with deezp1; he brings up a realistic theory towards the 360.

The closet way you can get to playing xbox games on your PC currently is:
1- Get yourself or make a "to USB" adapter for xbox controllers and buy a game for the PC that is also available on the xbox. (LOL)
2- OR...Use a video capture card/or usb version, hook your xbox to it and play on either your desktop monitor or laptop monitor
