So some 360 emulators such as Xenia allow to play games that have been installed on an external USB drive. It's pretty easy an straightforward: install the game from a stock console and run in on your PC using the emulator. You don't need any specific optical drive with a special firmware.

Now, do you know any place where this kind of rips are common? I'm thinking it's too much of a novelty or that there's not much demand for this kind of rips.

Vimms Vault has xbox 360 games

Not exactly what I was looking for, but that's still a damn good site that I didn't know of, thank you.

Vimm's has been a solid pillar of the emulation community for over 25 years.

Look for "romcenter markdown edition 2023" and you might find stuff that's not on Vimm's vault, like the XBLA games. :)

archive.org has both xbla and xblig libraries available

Thanks. I knew about some rare things that you could find on archive.org, but I didn't know there were "modern" console games too.
