I don't think Novodex is available for Linux - their web page doesn't
mention Linux at all, though there are a few forum posts around. Even
if it did... how would you put a PhysX chip inside your xbox? Yeah,
it's possible in theory, but you'd need some kind of high speed FPGA
and bus interfacing logic, along with elite soldering skills.

On the other hand, ODE will work on xbox-linux, and PyODE is great for
knocking up quick simulations!
