booting windows programs on an original xbox with a translation layer

you know i got bored recently and decided to embark on what many of you will perceive as insane but its kind of neat in practice.
many of you may be aware that the original xbox runs on a heavily modified version of windows 2000...
well what if we made a translation layer that fills that tiny little gap?
well you get to run windows programs on it natively of course!


mugen running natively without linux!
lets say you dont care for mugen, how about the 1997 pc verison of megaman running natively?



to make it clear, these arent ports these are the windows executables just running natively on the original xbox through the translation layer. very similar to how proton works on linux

want to know whats more fun? this was all compiled with the legal NXDK

also theoretically this is exciting because xboxes with more ram and or upgraded cpu's can probably run more complex games.

thats all for today.
