Nope, it'd be too slow anyway.

would it really be too slow?
just out of curiosity how fast is the xbox's dvdrom compared to a crossover cable which is about 5000kb/s

A 16x DVD drive reads at 176 mbps (22MB per second).

Also, the whole ISO would pretty mumuch need to be cached on the HDD so it kind of ruins the point.

I love that avatar when you answer questions.  It is like getting an answer from a professor in class.   =P

As it's in the Emu section, I'm guessing you've either posted in the wrong place or talking about hosting roms from a PC.

If you're talking about roms hosted from a PC it is in theory possible but no emulators out there use it yet (although the next version of xnes9x might)

mentioned this in my forums - ive been playing with the very excellent xboxmediaplayer and SMB shares. Im very impressed with it and will be looking at implementing it in xSnes9x so you can load your roms remotely from a windows shared drive. This should also eliminate file length issues associated with copying files over to your xbox hdd. Need to say thanks to the XBMP dev team, without them none of this would be possible of course.
