first you need to install the emulators (use auto installer deluexe 2.1 or what ever you have) and then ftp into your box and open the correct folder for the emulators. There will be a folder in the emulator folder you are in that says roms. Copy the correst roms into this folder. Then start you dashboard up and there will be a holder called emulators start the desired emulator and access the rom folder; for nes it will be on D:\ and for snes it will just show them upon starting the emulator.

So I can just store the roms as zip files on a cd and then unzip with my xbox? is that all their is to it? (if so, that is how i would do it, as opposed to ftp)

Most ROM files are only one file anyway, the PCSXbox emulator uses bin and cue files.
Why zip them all and why keep em on CD? You could just ftp them across. What size is your HDD in the Xbox? _________________ Chimp Tutorial

a stock xbox can only read code signed by microsoft. When you mod an xbox you bypass the security and thats how you can run the emulators. _________________

My box has been modded. Can I also install soft mod to use Emu?
You can use the emulators with either a soft or hard modded box.
Ok here is my story. I hard modded my box. Installed AID 3.1 including emu. When I tried to load an emu game, it takes me to some directory where the ROMS are located. What file do I load to run the games?
