Others have, but...

a. the binary used an stolen unlicensed (to microsoft) compiler
b. needs a mod chip, also against microsoft's license
c. AFAIK, these's no current or even semi-current binary outthere
d. mameDev doesn't approve of it
e. the xbox was a p3 700mhz with slow hardware so...

I doubt it.  (maybe some neogeo and mk, if the binary is old enough, but not ki)

You don't need a mod chip to run it (there are other ways...)
It runs very well actually. KI and KI2 not too well,but the old games run fine.
It's version .84 of Mame.
It's a P3 733Mhz with 64mb or ram, so some of the bigger games don't load too well (although the latest version does use virtual memory so it helps but I have not tried it).
I was going to use it on my original cab and got an Xbox to Jamma adapter. The video worked well but the controllers did not.
I do not recommend it for a modern day cab.
Good luck!

Jack Burton:
Every single Neo Geo and CPS1/2 game will run 100% no problem.  Mame and Final Burn Alpha are both very good on Xbox and will play prety much any game that you want as long as it isn't 3d or or a special case.  Mortal Kombat will not run very well because it has advanced pretty far along in emulation and thus needs a fast computer.  There are specific emulators for KI 1 and 2 that run very well.

I would say go for it.  It would make a fine tv setup. 

amadama:
For TV playing it is really great (I misread the OP and thought he was going to use in a cab).
Go for it!
