Not that I know of. There are 2 for Windows though, Xeon and Cxbx. well, Cxbx isn't really an emulator, it supposedly converts xbox games into windows executables.

are you talking about an xbox emulator for the linux OS, or emulators that run on linux that is running on an xbox.

the first half makes me think the former, while the 2nd half of your post makes me think you are talking about the latter.

If it is the latter, then you can run any linux emulator on an xbox running linux, be it zsnes, mupen, whatever. If it si the former, then i know of no decent xbox emulators for linux.

I think he wants to be able to run Linux on an Xbox and still play his Xbox games...

At least that's the way it seems to me...

Anyhow,... I solve this problem as such:

* I exclusively run Linux on my (personally owned) PCs.
* For console games, I run a PlayStation2

I avoid M$ like the plague. I haven't had a virus or spyware problem since switching in 2001. (Xbox users should be aware that Xbox Live! will allow M$ to overwrite things you do on your Xbox, like install Linux through a hack... )

I don't miss M$ at all.

uh hem what i meant

What I mean't to say( I apologize for the vagueness) is I have my hands on a hardware modified xbox that some doosh didn't know what he did to it but it runs linux. I can't take it apart until I own it so, I was wondering if there was a software game emulator for linux. Ya know, so I can have the best of both worlds(Linux of course and play my xbox games) I mean Mercenaries Rocks!

Oh BTW props to liquidtenmilion your first part of you answer was correct

yeah, any linux game available as source should work decent if you have the compilers installed. along with the appropriate libraries.. and Xbox is mostly an X86, so alot of X86 assembly code should work
