Hey, I need some advice I am doing a personal test to see what I can do with my programming skills and I need to know how one would port a xbox 360 game to windows pc.

I have extracted the game data from one of the games from the disk but I need to know how to use that data to run the game on windows.

I have heard of streamreader where I can read from the files I know that much and I know how to make the engine I am building reconise file extensions that the registry knows as well so I have those 2 things pat down but What am i missing I dont have the original source code to the game but as i said this is a test for me I am not releasing this only to learn from it to greater make my programming skill better so yeah any advice on this would be greatly appreciated thanks...

If you don't even know where to start a task like this then it's beyond your abilities. Start with something easier. Like a calculator.

You will not get any help here.

This is in direct violation of the licensing agreement between yourself and the company that produced the game, and is thus malicious activity. Trying to "port the game to Windows" would be seen by the authors (and their very expensive lawyers) as theft.

We do not condone, support, or assist in the production of malicious code in any way, form, or manner. This is a professional site for professional developers.

If you want to know how to create such things, you need to visit a hacking site: but be sure to disable all firewalls and antivirus products first or they won't trust you enough to tell you.
