Can I play Xbox 360 games on my Windows Vista laptop?

From: Scott

I just got a new laptop because my old is dead and it is running vista and it has a socket to plug a x box 360 control in and theres all this hype x box 360 and vista together so I was wondering, that would happen if I stick a 360 game disc in the computer. so, what would I be able to play this match as if it were a x box 360 with a computer instead of a TV screen or it would destroy my laptop I need to know. I mean I'd be pised if I went and spent the money on a 360 and then discovered that I could have just played on my computer.

To put it simply, can I play a box x / x box 360 game on my laptop.

From: Dale M. White

Simple answer No

Longer answer, no. Xbox306 games are written for PowerPC, which if I remember correctly a RISC based chips and Intels\AMDs are CISC based chips.

The excitement of Xbox360 and Vista, was more in the sense to implement the sharing of multimedia files and at some point, but always on paper. Set up the games between a PC and a Player X 360, through their Xbox live, to talk to inluce to link your xbox live with the X 360 has.

    I have a laptop that has Windows8 - there a few XBox games - I was wondering if I can play XBox360 games on this computer

    No, you can play XBOX on PC game discs.  The games that you see are games that will establish a connection with your XBOX Live account and you give points and rewards, but you cannot just put a XBOX disc into your player and play.  It will always take and XBOX 360 for that.

  • Cannot connect Xbox 360 Elite to runnings Windows Vista PC

    After surfing the internet for hours, I really need help with this problem...

    I am trying to connect my Xbox 360 Elite to my PC running Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit).

    I can connect to Xbox Live without any problems, and the Xbox also appears in the network view in Windows (and in WMP11 media sharing).

    The Xbox also discovers the PC and COMPUTERNAME:username display on the screen. But when I try to connect the Xbox since it does not work. I have tried many solutions and advice found on the internet, but I can't work.

    I also tried to use the Media Center and connect the Xbox as an Extender. Does not work either.

    Is there a setting somewhere in Vista that keeps me?

    Hi Christian,

    ·        You receive an error message when you try to connect to the Xbox?

    ·        You are able to access the Xbox from the PC?

    You can try to temporarily disable the security software and third-party firewall on the computer and check if you can access the computer of Xbox. If you are able to access, you can contact the manufacturer of security software and firewall manufacturer to check if you need to change the settings. Subsequently re - activate the firewall and security software after verification.

    Windows XP and using the Xbox 360!

    How can I configure xbox 360 on windows XP, all instructions are for Media Center which I did not and asks the key code.  I don't have media player. I received a key to the xbox code, BUT Media Player do not ask for it? My wireless works fine.  XBox works very well. Yes, I know that I should upgrade to Windows 7 but until my budget allows, is what I have.  Thank you.

  • Network adapter wireless Xbox 360 for use in Windows 7 64 bit?

    I had a load of questions to try to locate the driver for the xbox 360 Wireless network adapter to use on my 64-bit windows computer 7. Is there a rare pilot that I've simply not found? or is there something entirely inconsistent with a material more old xbox 360? (The wireless card is USB and was purchased before the new black slim xbox 360 was introduced, back when is is big heavy and white)

    Basically, I want the network card to give me a wireless connection to my router so I can move this PC in another room without the need of an Ethernet cable.

    The XBox 360 Wireless network adapter seems to work only with the corresponding XBox 360 game console.  Microsoft seems to be releasing a Windows driver.

    However, you should be able to find a completely Windows 7 compatible wireless adapter that must be connected to a USB port.

    In addition, you can add an access port 'Wireless' that will add wireless networks to a router not wireless.

  • I can't turn on my fire wall of Windows Vista.

    I can't turn on my fire wall of Windows Vista. I tried all the usual methods to activate it. It sayes the service just does not work and it won't let me update the settings or reactivate it. Its really annoying. I have Windows Security Essentials, but no other firewall.

    Hello AbigailBrown,

    Do you get the codes error or just recommended service does not work?  Have you made changes on your computer before you start the this question?  New software or hardware?  I have included a link below on the Windows Vista firewall.
