Differences between HTPC & XB

[Arkon11]

I'm using an xbox right now running xbmc, but plan on setting up a HTPC in the verrry near future.

What I was wondering is that I know the xbox uses .xbe files for it's programs (namely I use emulators), and I was wondering if the windows version of xbmc uses the same .xbe files, or can I use regular emulators (with .exe extensions)

I have some Xbox360 controllers that work with my pc, and I was also wondering if those would work through xbmc?


Thanks alot guys

1. The xbox bins won't work (.xbe) but I beleive there is a launcher plugin that some have got to launch emulators.
2. Yes your x360 controllers will work to control xbmc.

You should be able to find it in the plugins section of the fourm
