+## Get XQEMU
+    git clone https://github.com/espes/xqemu.git
+
+## Compile XQEMU
+### For Mac OS X
+    ./configure --cc=clang --enable-debug --enable-opengl --disable-vnc --disable-user --disable-kvm --disable-xen --with-coroutine=sigaltstack --target-list=xbox-softmmu
+    make
+### For Windows
+It's complicated! See FK's [excellent writeup](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vW1XAdqC4r8RP6Vfb3F3cOulVuRIDBElGZx94JlIe4c/pub).
+
+## Run XQEMU
+
+XQEMU is a Low-Level Emulator, So you need to find a copy of the stuff the Xbox runs when it turns on:
+
+* Xbox MCP-X boot rom
+* Xbox 1.0 compatible bios (3944, 4034, 4036 or 4627)
+* Xbox dashboard files
+
+Create an Xbox hard-disk image:
+* Create an xboxhdm cd-rom with the dashboard files
+* Create a blank hard-disk file: ```qemu-img create -f qcow2 xbox_harddisk.qcow2 8G```
+* Run xboxhdm with qemu or something: ```i386-softmmu/qemu-system-i386 -hda xbox_harddisk.qcow2 -cdrom linux.iso```
+
+Launch XQEMU with something like...
+
+    xbox-softmmu/qemu-system-i386 -cpu pentium3 -M xbox,bootrom=mcpx_rom.bin -m 64 -drive file=xbox_harddisk.qcow2,index=0,media=disk,locked=on -drive index=1,media=cdrom -bios xbox_bios.bin
