Development problems
- Undocumented hardware components that need drivers.
- Lack of people with low-level development and reverse engineering skills.
- Microsoft has discontinued original Xbox since 2006, so few people with a working console left, and their number is decreasing.
Existing work
- Xbox HAL exists. See halxbox module.
- Support for FATX file system exists in freeloader, fastfat driver, and ufatx module. See File Systems#FAQ and ReactOS Git grep.
- Basic video miniport driver for nVidia NV2A GPU (
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_02A0) exists. See xboxdisp.inf and xboxvmp module. - Custom Cromwell BIOS previously existed in the repository. See boot/xbox/cromwell.

XQEMU project can be used to virtualize target platform and to test ReactOS Xbox port on a regular PC by using emulation.
