How to Add Emulators to a Modded Xbox

Adding emulators to your Microsoft Xbox console increases the enjoyment you get out of your machine by allowing you to play games from a variety of other consoles. An emulator is a program that allows a video game console or a computer to emulate the behaviors of another video game console, meaning that you can play video games from one console on a computer or a different console. Installing an emulator on your Xbox requires that your Xbox be previously modified to allow manipulation.

Things You'll Need

Ethernet cable

Instructions

- 1
  Turn off all firewalls and anti-virus software on your computer. This process varies depending upon your operating system. For Windows computers, you must navigate to the "Control Panel" and open up "Windows Firewall." From there, select to turn off the firewall. For Macintosh users, go through the "Apple" menu to "System Preferences." Open "View" followed by "Sharing" and click on the "Firewall" tab. Click the "Stop" button to shut off the firewall.

  Connect the Xbox to the router using the Ethernet cable. Turn on the Xbox. From the custom dash, turn off the "Static connection" by scrolling down to it and clicking "Save."

  Reboot the Xbox. Navigate to "Settings" from the custom dash, and ensure that DHCP is enabled and you are showing an IP address.

  Open FlashFXP on the computer. Click the lightning bolt symbol that is in the middle of the top bar of the program screen.

  Input the Xbox's IP address into the Server or URL text box on the window that pops up in FlashFXP. Input the user name and password for your Xbox. If you are still using the default settings on your Xbox, the user name and password are both "xbox" in lowercase, without the quotation marks.

  Select the emulator file that you wish to transfer from the computer. You select this file in the left-hand menu screen on FlashFXP. Click and drag the file to the right-hand menu screen, which is the Xbox. Now the emulator is on the Xbox.
