Is it possible to hook up the original Xbox to a Media Center PC or LCD monitor and play Xbox games?

I know that hooking up my Xbox via a Media Center Extender will allow me to swap pictures, music , and record TV and such. But what if I want to play my Xbox games? Will it show thru my monitor? If not, is there a way to hook up my Xbox to my LCD monitor? Will playing the Xbox damage the monitor?

bmgleason asked:


I am using a Sony Vaio Media Center PC and I just installed Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 onto it. It seems as though almost every full-screen gameI play gets cut-off the screen. The top and left of the screen are missing and there is “empty” black space on the right and bottom, almost as if someone “pushed the picture” on the screen up and to the left.

Does the Xbox 360 play Divx-format movies?

The media extender for the original Xbox did not allow Divx even if the proper codecs were installed on your Media Center PC.
