        Sounds like a plan

        You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

          @Unknown script is now fixed, but it will not run on the Pi5, the Pi5 does not have OpenGL4.0 and that is a requirment.

          not sure if there is a way to force it to run on a lower version or something different.

          here is the new script for you to mess with.

            Getting ready to test as we speak. Out of curiosity, what prevented it from working previously?

              It starts and the emulator seems to load but then it geneates this error.

                @Unknown said in Running Xbox original games on Retropie (PC only):

                what prevented it from working previously?

                We had it trying to run Xbox not xemu. So it was trying to start a folder. Lol

                I have xinit in there since I was testing it on my pi. And that's what we need.

                Since it's for PC. That part can be removed.

                As for the error. I don't know. That's something I can't help with since I don't run Retropie on PC. Sorry

                  Ladies and Gentlemen we have SUCESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
                  The game booted. I didn't have time to test it further but it actually started the emulator. here is the updated script.

                      @ExarKunIv thanks for the help. I don’t know if I could have done it without you. I have a little more testing to do before I submit a pull request. I also need to get the controls configured.

                          If you have any pointers on configuring the controls. Please let me know

                            @Unknown the only thing I have used is Xboxdrv

                            https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Universal-Controller-Calibration-%26-Mapping-Using-xboxdrv/

                            That's what I use on my PIs for custom controls.
                            If you are on PC then I think something that maps controls should work

                              update: after doing a little configuration the game doesn't boot. I think I messed something up in the settings. Probably selecting the wrong bios or something.
