Awhile back, this was a big thing, alot of people wanted it, now it is a reality. A contest was setup by <a href=http://www.xbins.org/n64contest.php>xbins.org</a>. It did not go without controversy, as the pot went to almost $2500. Nevertheless it is over now, and 3 N64 emulators for XBox now exist.
If you click on that link, you will see a wonderfull result:

<font class=post_quote>Contest OVER!
Funds are being transfered to the PJ64-X author, and apparently he has already made his donation to Rice. To my best understanding a donation will also be sent to Emulation64.com by jabo's request (as part of the donation for using PJ64 sources) and the rest of the funds to purchase a Debug xbox kit in order to code PJ64-X better for everyone to enjoy! </font>

The 3 N64 emulators were not all made because of th contest and money as a motivation though, so beyond that here is a list of the ports:

DaedalusX v0.10
PJ64-X.V0.70
UltraXLE v1.0b

The port of Daedalus is very inferior to the other 2. It has no sound and little compatibility. Its ugly leaked step sister was probably a bit better, but still, not better then the other 2.

The PJ64-X port of PJ64 is the most compatible, but also has some trouble with 32MB roms, and requires some configuration as well as testing to get roms to work.

The UltraHLE port, called UltraXLE is the opposite of PJ64-X. It's exactly like the original UltraHLE in that it does not run alot of games, but the ones it does run, run well, and are not ran by any other port. An example is Zelda.
