This seems like the best idea look up www.boxedwine.org and if you want a port of it to Xbox dev mode please comment on this https://github.com/danoon2/Boxedwine/issues/5 saying I would like a port for Xbox too please or by simply liking the post to show interest! If you can code or think you can help the devs in any way let them know
