With all the goings on with this xbox 360 emulator, seeing the website have a major change wasn't unexpected, although the website looks like its still unfinished, its certainly worth noting for things to come, and at looking at their news post "HELLO WORLD" they do say about needing some style love.
So why don't you head over to the http://xenia.jp/, and say from me :)
In over xenia news, we have compiled a nice selection of vids of this emulator in action, if you have any to contribute check out the topic here.
Following our last news post on xenia with a video of sonic 4 ep1 playing, we now have a new video for you, this time Sonic the hedgehog, the 2006 xbox 360 game "partially running" on the pc, which shows some significant progress lately with this emulator, there aren't any official builds but you can get the source from github
Always nice to post something new to http://www.emulation64.com/, so heres a video of Sonic the hedgehog 4 episode 1, running on xenia, a open source xbox 360 emulator for PC.
The video itself shows good speed, some graphic glitchs and sound, and shows just how far this emulator has come.
This is a port of MAME V0.72 for your Xbox 360 Console.

Xexter has found a way to get a Nes Emulator working on the Xbox 360 via MCE, heres a few screens:
Heres what he posted:
I've attached a link to a version of NESCafe that works through Media Center on the Xbox 360. This is currently setup to run at 480p (Widescreen). You can edit the nes.htm file if it does not fit correctly on your screen. I haven't found a way to add a menu for the roms list so you will have to edit the nes.htm and change to whatever Nes rom you want to play. I've included a Public Domain rom for testing but have verified Zelda1-2, Excitebike, and TecmoBowl and all worked.
INSTALL: You will need to extract the rar into C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersStart MenuProgramsAccessoriesMedia CenterMedia Center Programs on your media center box. It took a bit for the icon to show up under More Programs but it finally will.
NOTES: Sound is not functioning, Media Center 2005 is required. If it locks up you will need to run something that warns you that it is a web page and check the box that says "Don't show this again". Once you do that it should run fine. I created an MCL that just went to Google and then checked that box. I've also attached an image with the mapping of the Xbox Controller to the corresponding keyboard keys.
