[ros-dev] HAL reorganisation

[Colin Burn]

CXBX would not be suitable for developing ROS. CXBX doesn't try to emulate
any of the hardware of an Xbox, it instead tries to convert an xbox
executable (xbe) into a windows executable (exe). The conversion is done by
locating DirectX calls in the xbe (Note: On an xbox the executables are
directly linked to the DirectX libraries) and redirecting them appropriately
under windows.

Keep in mind there is an XBOX emulator:  CXBX available at 
http://www.caustik.com/cxbx/, that, though incomplete, runs at least 1 
commercial game and might be complete enough to run an xbox port of 
ROS.  Also, i'm sure you already know about the OpenXDK at 
http://www.openxdk.org/.
