xbox/pc question

[kentj]

can you game with someone who has an xbox and you having a pc? can you buy the xbox games and install them on pc and link up with an xbox player?

[ghost2003]

unfortunatly, no. Maybe there are some xbox emulators that let you play on your coputer though but I never saw one. Dont even think normal drives on computers can read xbox disks

Any DVD-ROM can read an Xbox game. Xbox uses plain DVD's. Deciphering the data is what a normal computer can't do. You can't play Xbox games on a computer or play against an Xbox using a computer. If they made the console compatible with a PC then there would be no market and no point in doing it.

Could you buy an xbox and take it apart then put the dvd drive from the xbox and install it in your computer and then play xbox games on ur comp?

[MxDawg4223]

assuming u take the hd from the xbox and install it on the comp too

[ghost2003]

I dont think it could take the new hardware, then you wound need to install the ports for the controllers, etc... and you would end up with a xbox in a pc case. MxDawg4223, as hiho said its a normal DVD drive.

I don't believe that would work and there would be no point in doing it.

hmm...even so, an xbox inside a pc case sounds like a pretty cool mod . although if its possible, its probably been done before.

ya, that would be cool. you could just put the xbox in a pc case and make the wires comme out from the back and the controller wires from the drive bays, dont know how you'd put the game in though.

[tomster2300]

That would be kinda messed up. There's definately no way to play xbox games and pc games together simultaneously, though your idea would be interesting.

Remember Yoshi on TSS did a mod where he put several consoles and a PC into a computer case. Of course, it was only console functionality, and not the actual consoles themselves, if I remember correctly.

[MxDawg4223]

if i had some $$ i would definetly try it.

[pop-tart]

thats a good idea..

put a switch on the back of the pc to switch between the different systems you want to run. I'd love that..

[ghost2003]

wouldnt you run out of space to put all the hardware?

[Hi Ho]

Probably not if you took it out of the console casing. It would be tricky to arrange though. You'd need a big case.

hand zeh monster from the ceiling, that would rock.
