        @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

              @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.

                    @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.
