You'll need to put your roms in the SharpNES360\bin\Xbox 360\Debug directory
and then run the emulator to deploy them to the xbox.
When the emulator runs it first pops up the prompt for storage devices, this
is so that it knows where to load and save your savegames.
It runs at 60% or 70% of normal speed while being debugged, but runs at full
speed when not running with a debugger on the 360.
This requires a creators club account which runs $99 a year or $49 for four
months. You'll also need the free Visual C# Studio Express and the XNA bits.
To run on windows you'll need the Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 1.0:

and may also need the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer:

Controls:
A = A
B = X or B
Start = Start
Select = Back
Up, Down, Left, Right = D-Pad or Left Thumbstick
* With the first controller:
Return to Rom Menu = RB (Right Shoulder Button) + Back
Exit Emu from Rom Menu = Back
Supported Mappers:
Mappers 1 (mostly), 2, 3, 4 (mostly), 7 (partial), 9 (mostly), 10,
11 (partial), 22 (partial), 34, 64 (partial), 66
What's Still Missing:
Sound (Might I suggest humming along or retro game music from the 360)
Full Mapper Support
NES State Saving and Loading
A Note About Sound:
Josh Dersch, author of DotNES (another NES emu written in C#,
http://yahozna.dhs.org/projects/NES/index.html) has given us permission
to use his sound rendering classes when he releases the source code.
Unfortunatly, they won't do us any good. The Audio API's in XNA do not
allow for writing to sound buffers. THIS MEANS THAT NO EMU OR MEDIA
PLAYER CAN HAVE SOUND SUPPORT ON XNA IN ITS CURRENT STATE. I've talked
with MS about this and they said it is not intentionally blocked but is
just a side effect of using the XACT system. It's something that they
didn't get to, which is understandable considering how fast they built
XNA for us. Please feel free to complain loudly to xna@microsoft.com.
