The xbox proccesor doesnt have SSE2 or SSE3. So you cannot run a mac intel version of osx. You could run osx through emulation, if you have linux on your xbox
PearPC on Xbox (http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~ranma1/mac_install.html)

Its slower than crap on my xp 2200...IM sure its slow on a celeron 733mhz with 133mhz FSB

I remember hearing reports of people who used PearPC to run OS X under either Windows or Linux (I forget which) on an Xbox. They said it took the better part of a day just to boot up.

In other words: No. There's no way to get OS X to run on an Xbox. You can, however, get it to crawl like an elderly slug through molasses.

They gotta hack the xbox 360 first... They've cracked the games... They can now copy em..

But they've found that between the core and the premium.. they store the eeprom differntly...
