About XeDOSBox:
Yet another great project to work with. This is also Team XeLove's first opensource release. There's still a some bugs left but a few games are running. Note that this is a beta.

Wikipedia -
DOSBox is a full CPU emulator, capable of running DOS programs that require the CPU to be in either real mode or protected mode.[3] Other similar programs, such as dosemu or VDMs for Windows and OS/2, provide compatibility layers and rely on virtualization capabilities of the 386 family processors. Since DOSBox can emulate its CPU by interpretation, it is independent of its host CPU.[3] However, on systems which provide the i386 instruction set, the option to use dynamic instruction translation is available in DOSBox. Though this setting is less accurate and reliable, it is faster than interpretive CPU emulation."

FEATURES:
* USB Keybaord and Chatpad Support
* Config File Support (Should work from CON files)

TODO LIST:
* Fix Bug that causes crash in alot of programs.
* Better keyboard support.
* Graphical Frontend for loading custom config files(Like the Wii Port)
* Mouse Support
* And alot more.

I wonder how well it runs. Good enough to run an older version of MAME and some nice games? I guess I should just give it a try...

But...there's already a MAME emulator for the 360...

Let me know how it turns out. Again, Mame 360 is great, but missing some key features I would like to have.

I wonder how well it plays Blood and Alien Trilogy? Going to have to try this when I get the chance and not swamped in school work.

Edit: I guess I should also say thanks to the developers here for keeping the 360 homebrew scene alive with this addition to the world of 360 homebrew.

Emulators in this? This looks like a very useful utility as it is to date. I don't know about running games or things like that, but it surely is very useful for getting a wide variety of scripting languages and other utilities up and running without having to use Linux.

I have one question though, how does it exit?

the apps/games exit back to "dos" fine and typing exit kicks you back to Nxe dash

Are you being serious or sarcastic...it's hard to tell over the internet sometimes. Im being serious, not sarcastic, when I say that btw

Wonder if I can use dosflash on this. I've always wanted to read/write the dvd drive's firmware with an actual 360, just for sport!
