# How to Set Up xemu — Complete Original Xbox Emulator Guide 2026

I want to play original Xbox games on PC using xemu. How do I set it up? I know I need BIOS files and something called an HDD image, but I don't understand what files are required, where to get them, and how to get my games actually running. What's the correct setup order?
