With the release of the PlayStation 2, which featured the ability to playback CD-ROMs and DVDs in addition to playing games, Microsoft became concerned that game consoles would threaten the personal computer as an entertainment device for living rooms. It was also the first major console produced by an American company since the release of the Atari Jaguar in 1993. It is classified as a sixth-generation console, competing with Sony's PlayStation 2 and Nintendo's GameCube. It was released as Microsoft's first foray into the gaming console market on November 15, 2001, in North America, followed by Australia, Europe and Japan in 2002. The Xbox is a home video game console and the first installment in the Xbox series of video game consoles manufactured by Microsoft.

You need a working Xbox DVD drive and if you have that and an original disc there's, of course, no reason to use a PC or anything else other than the DVD2Xbox app to rip it to the HDD. MagicISO or Daemon Tools neither of those can help either for the same reason. It won't allow you extract anything from an original Xbox disc on PC as the drive can't read it in the first place.įrom my quick research and a few trials using virtual disc drives eg. I think sixties keith misunderstood that because, AFAIK, XISO is 'just' another Xbox ISO extractor.
