AFAIK the source is not available, so no port. Looks like it works 100% on dosbox though, so you could try that.
It works on dosbox? Strange, it's never gotten anywhere CLOSE to working for me.

BTW I have been wondering this for a long time but couldn't ppl simply decompile a game disc and extract the source code from that or is that not possible?

You (together with about a million other people) seem to misunderstand what decompiling actually does,
Decompiling means running a program and saving EVERYTHING the program does into a file.
this means you'll get a huge cluttered mess of calls and instructions, and not a clean source code ready for porting.
Decompilation at Wikipedia
Sure in the end it would be possible, but it would be such a bitch to do that noone would want to bother with it.

Do you mean Dosbox (PC) or DosXBox (XBox)? I seriously doubt that DosXBox is fast enough to run Blood at a playable speed, even if the emulation is accurate enough (I'd love to be proven wrong here, though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ).
If you do mean DosXBox, then do you know the required settings for DosXBox?
Hopefully when the 360 runs homebrew, we'll be able to emulate DOS and Windows fast enough to run all Pentium 1 and 2 games perfectly. Yummmm. Alien vs. Predator 1 and 2, No one Lives Forever 1 and 2, Half-Life, Alice, Unreal Tournament, Thief 1 and 2, Clive Barker's Undying, Carmageddon 1 and 2, Deus Ex and so on.

I was referring to the xbox version, but I've never tried it. I just looked at the (PC) dosbox compatibility listing, which indicates 100% working. No idea about speed. Either try it take that other person's word that it's too slow. They might not have the best settings though.... there was a thread about one person mucking around with Xcom and he eventually managed to get it running pretty decent. At first it would just crash and be really slow etc....

(you still have to tweak the settings and turn up Dosbox's ram from 16 MB)
But I think the Xbox port is still v.65 ( I haven't tried it)
Dosbox v.65 for PC ran really bad.
Transfusion's forums is a good place to find out how to get Blood working for Windows XP:
http://www.transfusion-game.com/
(Transfusion is a remake of Blood using an advanced Quake 1 engine)
In fact you could probably play the old Transfusion 1.0 version as a mod for QuakeX.
By the way the leaked Blood alpha source code is not complete and probably wouldn't compile. Also Blood alpha is alot different then retail Blood.

... on the other hand if ever they finish it, and if there is still interest in the XBOX 1 at that point, perhaps they would be willing to share the code for someone to port, but from the looks of things, the XBOX dev scene really seems to be taking a dive. I've not seen any major releases in quite a while!
