For a start, i have searched and searched and i still dont know fully what an emulator is. i know its like a program or something that lets you play snes or other console games on your xbox. i was also wondering how to put the games onto your xbox once you have the emulator. i think this is the right board for this. and if i am wrong on any of the above stuff please correct me because i am a bit of a n00b.
Emulators!?!

you are right - an emulator is a piece of software that emulates other consoles on your PC or Xbox.
Games you have to find. they are commonly called ROM files - search around on the net, you will find them - they are just not exactly legal, so don't ask about where to get them etc here on this board. there is a whole emulator community for that.
but once you have your emulator software and some ROM games, you just throw the rom games either on a CD-R/W / DVD-R/W or put them right on your hard drive (usually in a directory within the appropriate emulator directory) and you can play them just like that. not hard. every emulator is different, so you will have to play around with them.

Thanks Alot That Helps! Around how large are the rom files? are they around 100MB, or over a gig? because i like the look of those classic games on snes lol.

In my NES emulator, I read this:
| - Net Play
I havent tested it, but I doubt it'd lie going to transfer all my SNES/NES roms over, then try it. I was wondering - Is the SNES Emulator for xbox playable online? and how do the online plays work... is it like System link, or does your xbox need a IP of its own?

ftp the files to your hdd and edit the settingsfile (xml/ini/...) with notepad to point the program to the right roms directory.

If you look hard enough **CougH mirc Cough **, you can get games bundled together.
I got every snes game ever made in one shot. over 750 of them.
