          Just wondering why original xbox emulation would not be possible on the pi? It's the same generation as the ps1 and N64 and those seem to work fine.

            The original XBox was a full generation later. The current Pi3 arguable doesn't handle N64 or Dreamcast emulation all that well either. It's a great little computer, but it has it's limits.

              Is there even one for full-sized x86? I could not find one :(

                Hah! yeah, that's a good point that makes it a non-issue to begin with. There are a few options, but they're only for Windows and from what I hear, they're not very functional.

                  Basically, there isn't much interest or a big community for XBOX emulation. Original consoles are still running and can be easily modded to add a hard drive full of old games. If that's not your thing, then the XBOX 360 has Backwards Compatibility for a lot of titles (and can be modded too I suppose). MS keeps flirting with the idea of Original XBOX BC on the XBOX One, but I don't see it happening without re-developing games into a downloadable package as they do with XBOX 360 BC games and a lot of those original XBOX studios aren't around or likely don't want to re-release (you can already play stuff like Jet Grind Radio from XBLA).

                  TL:DR The interest and effort isn't there on PC and SBCs aren't powerful enough.

                    @mrbwa1 part of the lack of interest is there are relatively few exclusive Xbox games so most games can be played on a ps2 emulator

                      True. Most XBOX exclusives can be played on the Xbox 360 anyhow.

                      Also, I forgot to add that the original XBOX live is long dead, so anything playable is only for single player campaign or local multiplayer.
