This is a conversion of SharpNES by Jonathan Turner. Converting it only took a couple of hours. http://jturner.tapetrade.net/sharpnes/index.html

It runs at 60% or 70% of normal speed on the 360, so it's playable but slow. There's probably some very easy optimizations and cleanups to be done still.

Right now there is no rom loading menu, so to switch roms you have to include the rom in the SharpNES360 project and set it to 'Copy to Output Directory', then edit the filename in Program.cs.

This requires a creators club account which runs $99 a year or $49 for four months. You'll also need Visual C# Studio Express which is free.

Buttons:

A = A B = X or B Start = Start Select = Back Up, Down, Left, Right = D-Pad Exit Emulator = RB (Right Shoulder Button)

What's Missing:

Second Controller Sound Saving or State Saving Rom Loading Menu

Supported Mappers:

Mappers 1 (mostly), 2, 3, 4 (mostly), 7 (partial), 9 (mostly), 10,
(partial), 22 (partial), 34, 64 (partial), 66

It would be amazing if they found a good exploit. Running homebrew on my 360 as easily as I run it on my PSP would be insane. Well anyways good luck hopefully there will be an easier method to running HB on the 360 soon enough.
