Since the x-box has a harddrive, the easiest thing would be to simply dump all the rom images to it. Of course I don't think anyone has figured out the new file system for it yet, so that's a while off. Once it's cracked however the xbox will probably have every monkey's uncle emu running on it since it's so easy to hack. Xbox uses usb to, from what i understand, you just need some kind of a "dongle" (i love that word) to adapt to it.

: if you wanted to, you could make a stand alone "cart reader", similar to a pcmcia slot, that would plug into the nic, and then you could write a 2600 emulator that would ship on CD. plug in the cart, run the emu from the CD.

: i don't know why you would want to.
