I think you should probably try to get PC emulators.  Good luck getting the XBox ones working.  I ain't saying it can't be done, just don't think it's probable.

No problem man.

Winrar is nothing more than a file compressor/decompressor like Winzip and Winace.  That definatley woudn't do anything to get them working on your PC.  I think your buddy's yanking your chain.  Tell him to show you that it works and ask him how it's done.  

If somehow somebody managed to get that to work, please do come back here and tell us how it's done.  I've never seen anything on the scene about getting XBox emus to run on a PC and I'm sure people would like to know about it if somebody managed it.

You'd need to use an X-Box emulator in order to run them that way.

Even assuming that'd work, it'd be pointless. Your PC would be emulating an X-Box emulating another console. A massive waste of clock cycles. Use the original PC versions.

The X-Box PCSXBox was ported from the PC's PCSX.
Likewise, the X-Box Project64 was ported from the PC's Project64.

If you Google the other emulators for X-Box you'll quickly find the original PC versions intended for use on a computer.
