If the Xbox version of MAME was last released during the Xbox's glory days (pre-360), it will most likely be an ancient version of MAME ported from the DOS era (e.g. 0.36 or earlier), and would probably contain a great deal of bugs, incomplete emulation and, of course, a number of missing games compared to modern versions (e.g. later than 0.128 or so). In this case, it would probably similar to the older iMAME releases for smartphones/tablets, where one version is for older/weaker devices and runs a heavily modified variant of MAME 0.37 beta 5 (from the year 2000 - pre-Windows XP!), whereas the other uses a modern build but requires a much more powerful device. Note that the Xbox version was never officially supported by MAMEdev.
