"In short, getting even a marginally useful emulation speed would be a massive development effort. If anybody had been working on that, we'd have heard about it already."
There's this little development team called Microsoft. They've been working on it for a while now.
You see, many original Xbox games are playable on the new Xbox 360. They are quite literally running in an emulated environment created by Microsoft. Specific tweaks are made to the emulator to accomodate specific titles.
If someone could trick the Xbox 360 into thinking a homebrewed Xbox game or app, such as Avalaunch, were one of the supported titles and it did not have any specific needs beyond those already supplied to that title by the emulator, it could theoretically run just as it would on the original Xbox.

That's the idea, anyway.
