Anyone had any success with emulators or other methods? Just curious to see if anyone has successfully done this.

You'll need an XBox emulator program. That's available anywhere you can get a computer virus. Good luck.

You're better off getting the Mechwarrior 2 series and loading it up on DOSBox

its getting to where i dont even trust legitimate app stores anymore (not to say that i ever did). any time you run anyone's code on your computer you are taking a risk. even back when games came on discs there were several instances of recalls due to the discs containing viruses.

Yup. Using something like Torrent Reactor to nab a cool piece of Hackware like an emulator runs a serious risk of either signing your PC up to mine bitcoin for someone or joining a botnet that will help move someone else's files around. Both without your knowledge, and the second could darn well get you arrested if its heinous enough.
