==Emulators==
:'''Note:''' [http://xboxdevwiki.net/Emulators xboxdevwiki's own list of emulators] contain over 20 different emulator projects, most of which were abandoned not long after they started. Only 2 emulators have been making progress.

OG Xbox DVD drive supports Audio CD and XGD discs. Optical disc drives for PCs usually aren't capable to read OG Xbox format DVD-ROM/XGD, you'd need very specific drive and firmware for that. More info in [[Ripping_games#Microsoft_Xbox|ripping games section]] and [[#Emulation_issues|reverse engineering section]].
*Neither xemu nor CXBX-Reloaded support OG Xbox DVD-ROM/XGD physical discs. You need to [[Ripping_games|rip your disc and create .xiso disc image]]. See [https://xemu.app/docs/disc-images/ xemu: disc images] page. There is a [https://github.com/xemu-project/xemu/issues/435 feature request] for adding support for loading Audio CD discs and images. There was a [https://github.com/JayFoxRox/xqemu-espes/pull/23 pull request] for adding Xbox-DVD Drive emulation to xqemu but it seems discontinued.
::See [[#Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit]] section for DVD-Video compatibility or [[Home_Media_Player#Emulators|this dedicated page]] for more information about home media playback with emulation softwares.
