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

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

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

        However we are a lot further along than we were before.

          @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.

                    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.
