YEs you can using Wine/Cedega, which is available from either Transgaming's CVS for cedega, or wineHQ.com for Wine source.  Just make sure the game you wish to play can use software rendering because the xbox does not have 3d accelleration yet, and remember to not try and play games way above the xbox's specifications.

so you recommend dfoing all this with the xbox's power......or lack thereof......???? The xbox only has 64MB of ram....128 at the most....which will almost all be eaten up by emulating windows.......

Half-Life also runs about ~30fps under software mode.  Any older PC game with specs that are around or under the xbox's will run decently

How did you get Half Life to run?

And I know that either Quake 3 or Unreal Tournament had a software display mode (one did, the other *needed* a 3D card to run), have you ran either of
these on the XBox?

I'd love to play Half Life and so on on the XBox.

Cool.

I have evox already on my modded x-box, i have never installed gentoox  before.  Does it need it's own partition, can it coexist on the same partition as my evox (not running on evox, but using the same partition without any formatting or anything.)  I already know I need a cromwell bios flashed to my modchip to use it, but I have not tried it because I am not too familar with linux. (every one starts off as a n00b right?)

I installed a Gentoox home v3.1, and installed Cedega from CVS.  after doing this, I installed the CD version (NON-STEAM) of Half-life, and updated it with hl1110 patch.  THen I just run it with wine /.transgaming/c_drive/program files/SIERRA/Half-Life/hl.exe

The hard part was configuring the controlls on the xpad.  it works pretty well actually

I hoped to get the game americasarmy running under Xbox. However looking at the specifications, I don't even try. Still the games you are able to play on the X is just fine + all those emulators running.

Finally got Killer Instinct running after years of waiting  :lol:

Normally the Xenon will be more able to run propper pc games (theoreticly)
