Bochs - X86 for XBox

Description
This is an x86 emulator for the XBox. This basically emulates
a PC and allows you to install DOS, Linux, Windows, etc onto
it. There is also a virtual SB16 card to output SB16 sound (except
for MIDI which doesn't work yet.) There is no network support
in this version, though - so don't get your hopes up about running
a linux server. The linux-xbox project will work much better
than any emulation anyway. I ported Bochs primarily to play
old DOS games.

Information
Explaining how to use the emulator is easiest by example: Let's
say you want to play Space Quest 1. You have a file called SQ1.ZIP
that contains the game files. Upload this file to your \BOCHS
subdirectory on your XBox. Run bochs.xbe and you'll see SQ1.ZIP
in the file listing. Highlight it and press the B button to
flag it. You can flag as many files as you want. When done selecting
files, press the A button to copy them into the HD image and
to start the emulation. The files you selected have been copied
into the D:\INCOMING directory inside the emulator. Now you
can pkunzip the sq1.zip file to a directory, install the game
as you normally would under DOS and run it. There is a file
called mtoolsrc which specifies which HD image file will receive
the files copied from inside bochs.xbe. If you change mtoolsrc,
you should make sure that the img file you select has a \INCOMING
directory on it or else the copying will fail. Furthermore,
do not change mtoolsrc to point to your boot drive img because
after lots of copies it can become corrupt. Always have mtoolsrc
point to a "scratch" hard disk image. This corruption I speak
of relates *only* to hard drive image files (e.g. cdrive.img,
ddrive.img) It has *nothing* to do with your XBox hard drive,
so don't worry about it. The bochsxbox file is the bochs configuration
file. Read the information on the bochs webpage for details
on how to change the information in this file. Mostly, you'll
probably just want to change the c drive and d drive specification
in here.
