Yeah, that's actually another good use for it.  I have a standalone divx/xvid player that plays avis, but a lot of stuff these days seem to be coming in other container formats as well.  Wouldn't mind watching my mp4/ogg files on the big screen.

If you have to have a chip, just get a cheap ass Duo X2 as it does everything you'll need and only costs like $15.

Played my original dracula x CD on my xbox through the hugoX emulator but some sounds are missing when i play it on the original hardware.
Like when you defeat your first boss (the dragon) he screams which you don't hear on the xbox.
Don't know if it will be the same issue when playing it through romfile though.

Try Mednafen PCE instead, I have way better luck with that emulator than Hugo on the Xbox.

Thanks for the tip, will try it soon and report here.

Kitsunexus, this is one of the many sounds that is missing.
Like at the beginning of the level when he is riding the horses and yells "yah yah" is also one of the sounds that are missing.
Sorry, to busy now to record them. :lol:

Yess!! :D

Got mednafenX running on my xbox mediacenter and with the dracula x game the otherwise missing sounds on the HugoX are present now!

The only issue i have now, is that i have some back ups on a dvd-r but to get them running i have to convert them from mp3 to wav in some way.
It's taken some time but i finally begin to understand the basics in doing this.
Thanks again.

Yeah Mednafen is a way better emulator, I had nothing but trouble with Hugo.  The only problem I have will it is that sometimes the synching on the audio is off, like in Ys IV for example, any redbook audio during cutscenes is a few seconds behind the action on screen.  This is even using real Turbo CDs in my Xbox, so I know it's not a problem with disc images.  It's a minor complaint though, mednafen is awesome otherwise and the perfect way to play Xak III and Ys IV if your duo won't read CDRs.

In some ways (definitely not all ways) running an emulator on xbox is indeed awesome.
How can you run the original nec hardware on a plasma through component leads in 720p???
With xbox you can!!!
It is still sharp on a BIG screen!
Plus, it is easy to play your games on xbox and keep your console/collection clean and safe and don't create a mess hooking it all up!
Never understood the fuss of emulating on a desktop PC but on a console it is so much better!
