Xbox emulation is mostly bad because there wasn’t much need for it. Many Xbox games got either a ps2 or pc port. For the few exceptions, Xboxes are very hackable and were pretty cheap for a long time after the 360 released.
There are over a hundred Xbox games that never got a port. Virtual Boy had only 22 games and got an emulator. There are obscure arcade games, that by their nature are a single game, and have been emulated.
Being hackable is why I would have expected ports to be easier.
