I've been wondering, since the xbox uses the same archecture as the PC, and since I have an old PC sitting around, how hard would it be to make it think it were an xbox? I've heard that you can't simply use a regular dvd-rom drive because the xbox reads the disc backwards, but I also know that the xbox uses a standard IDE bus and a custom power port. I'm pretty sure I could write a bootloader to run the xbox dashboard and firmware so that it could be tricked into being an xbox, however, wouldn't it detect that My hard drive is a 20GB standard drive instead of an xbox drive? If so would I need to get an xbox hard drive too? And yet another question - the motherboard and cpu. Would it detect that I have an ATX motherboard and a Pentium III @ 800MHz? Instead of a custom mobo and a celeron 733. I have exactly 64MB of RAM so I don't expect any problems from that end which is good. And yet another question - how would I plug in the controller? Are there adapters that I can buy for that? And what if I ever want to use a memory card? I suspect that the controller for the xbox is on an usb bus, and probably the memory also. And could I use my ethernet port to transfer files to and from my computer? I'm not interested in hacking the 'xbox' or copying games or anything. Just another gaming console made from a useless PC. And would the graphics card even be compatible with the xbox firmware? Thanks in advance ;-)
