Nope, they're ever so slightly different.  I think your best bet is to  
goto www.xbox-scene.com and have a read up on their tutorials.  It  
should tell you everything you need to know as it seems to be getting  
way off the topic of Ubuntu now, and it's a legal grey area discussing  
XBOX execuitables such as MameoX which are compiled using the  
Microsoft XBOX SDK's and therefore are technically illegal as they're  
not licenced by Microsoft.

Mameox is Mame specific, it's an XBOX .xbe executable.  You could run it 
off a DVD, you'd just need to make an XBOX ISO image (instructions are 
available on the internet).

You could however run Linux on the XBOX and run Mame on that (and 
compile something like SDLMAME).

Not tried it myself though.  Linux isn't working on my XBOX since I 
upgraded the telly and started using Component Video.

First of all you need a mod chip (or software mod), then you need to 
download the executable (do a google search for this - keyword is 
xbins).  When you have mameox (Mameox is the one to go for), FTP it over 
to the XBOX and then copy over some mame roms (available separately).

That should be enough to get you started.
