So, you have the original NES console, and Super Mario Bros 3. But your NES is broken.
Well I have a solution!!
You will need the following:

(1)QWIX: Download QWIX here
This will be used to create an ISO, or image, of the emulator so the Xbox can read it.
QWIX does need to be installed, just placed inside a folder with the contents included in the .rar

Imgburn: Download Imgburn here
A DVD Burner
ROMS: Use google to find these. ONLY DOWLOAD ROMS IF YOU OWN THE GAME!!
Emulator: We will be using xNES Download xNES here
Modded Xbox: Very detailed tutorial on how to softmod your Xbox using SID 4.0 (Pictures)
Last, but not least, you will need a blank DVD disk. I used a DVD+R, but you can use whatever your Xbox reads.
WinRar (QWIX is "rared"): WinRar
Ok, after you have downloaded all those programs and installed them, its time to begin.
Step One
Alright, create a new folder on your desktop, called "nes", or anything to help you remember thats the folder.

Step Two
Now, place everything that was included in the xNES file you downloaded. Go into the folders shown in the picture, and delete all the text files.

Step Three
Inside your nes folder, make a folder named ROMS (if the download didn't include one).

Step Four
Find a website and download a ROM that you physically own!!
Step Five
Extract the files the ROMS you downloaded to desktop>nes>roms
Step Six
Ok, now open up QWIX, and go to Create ISO. Naviage to the nes folder on your desktop, and make an ISO of that folder. Place the nes ISO on the desktop

Step Seven
Place your blank DVD disk in the drive (I have only used +R, you can try whatever.), open Imgburn, and then load the nes ISO, and select burn.
**You may want to change the burn speed. I didn't have any problems, but you might**

Step Eight
Ok, Imgburn will open the drive and then close it, its not done!! Just to let people know. But after you see the completion message, take out the disk, pop it in your Xbox, and enjoy!
Please remember the ROMS you download ARE copyrighted, and should only be downloaded if you physically own the original game cartridge, violation of this can result in a large fine.
Any questions? Any Feedback? Please post.

Thank you so much corn. I wasnt sure that you were able to do this. This is a big help even though ftping is better. FTP doesnt work for me so this works better as of now. but i got a question. can you only do one emulator per disc. because if you do more nthen one how are you going to acess the other emulators? thanx alot.

Believe you really can only do one emulator per disk.
And, really I would use Imgburn as the tutorial says, its fast and efficient.

Just figured something out for that, you can FTP them to ur Xbox, or use an Auto Installer, AID. It has emulators, but you have to find the ROMS somewhere else.

You have to select the side tab that says Create ISO. From there, you will need to use Local folder, and select the xnes (or whatever emulator you are using) folder.

If you create one disc per emulator, youre wasting a lot of DVDs. You can create a multi-emulator disc along with its ROMS. Use Craxtion and create a multi-game-disc iso. It fuctions the same as regular xbox game the default.xbe is the file all apps use.

Hm, did you get that from the AID disk? Or did you get it from offline? I also think they have to be able to run on the Xbox.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mameox
Try that link there, burn it like I showed you, and tell me how it works.

I got it for aid, v4.0. The roms from all over. There are so many mame roms of the same game, so I'm not to sure what I have to do with them. But I'm going to try your link and see if that helps. Thanks.

Well make a folder. I don't know if you can split the disk. I would suggest just using one. And follow the tutorial as posted.
