Great new arcade emulator released

Modded Xboxes RULE for for playing emulated games. The Xbox controller is so perfect for them. And MAMEdOX, which looks to be the very best arcade emulator for that platform, has just been released. I'm extremely excited.

It's based on Bendermameox. Bendermameox focuses on playing newer arcade games (it won't run the older ones) and therefore fills the same niche as fba-xxx. MAMEdOX is much more useful because...

I've ran its DAT file through clrmamepro and I'm extremely pleased to see that it runs tens of thousands of games from throughout history. Obviously, you're not going to burn them all to DVD-R along with the emulator. If you've added a second hard drive to your Xbox then you can put them all there, but not everyone with a modded xbox decides to do that. No, it's best to put this emulator the Xbox hard drive and add your favourite games as you decide to play them. And that, of course, is the way emulation should be.
