How to Install N64 Games Onto Xbox

The Xbox is a next-generation console that allows DVD playback with a separate DVD remote and sensor and allows you to go online. You can also rip CD music tracks to your console hard drive. With a soft-modded or hard-modded Xbox system, you can install and play a Nintendo 64 emulator. To install a Nintendo 64 emulator, your Xbox needs to be soft-modded with Evolution X or another custom dashboard or be hard-modded with a modchip.
