Comments Off on MAME on the Xbox

Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator allows you to play almost any old-school arcade/console game right on your computer.

MAME has been around for quite some time and is used by thousands of gaming geeks on their Personal Computers.

Some people, including myself have gone all out and built custom MAME cabinets so we can have the full arcade look and feel right in our home.

I love MAME and that’s why I was really happy to find out MAME has been ported for the Xbox.

If you haven’t noticed, I have a page dedicated to the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.

It’s geektastic when someone comes up with a cool hack like this.

Just imagine every single old-school game you own accessible via a slick, simple interface and playable right from your Xbox. Sounds pretty cool, right?

Here’s what you will need:

Don’t have a modden Xbox? You can learn more about modding your own Xbox at Xbox-Scene.

The MAMEoX project offers the entire source code you will need to compile a working copy of MAME.

If you’re unfamiliar with compiling applications on your XBOX, you’ll need to find the pre-compiled binaries. You can download it here.

Keep in mind that the Xbox version I’m offering for download is an older version (v0.84.3b) but it will get you started.

Install and have fun!

Be sure to let me know how your Xbox hack works out.
