Luckily I only have one, LoTR: Two Towers. It's odd that Microsoft stopped the BC emulation updates before finishing up the og Xbox library.

I still have all my old xbox games. 30+ games I didn't try them all out.

I think Freedom Fighters isn't B/C and my Otogi2 copy didn't work either.

Edit: I have my xbox hooked up so it doesn't really bother me:P

Midtown Madness 3, it makes no sense why a 1st party game wouldn't be BC.

I have Tao Fang by co-creator of Mortal Kombat. It doesn't work. I wonder if I need an BC update. My Ninja Gaiden copy plays fine though.

why does that mean it makes no sense. the reason why some games arnt BC is because Nvida pulled out of the xbox deal and xbox didnt own the rights to the graphics cards which were used. all the graphics routines are made specific to the card and the ATI cant emulate it correctly. so the games which have mega glitches have been left out. or those where it jus t wasnt feasible for the amount of work to be put in to get a emulator working. its nothing to do with 1st or 3rd party. its down to compatibility between the hardware of the old xbox and new xbox. it shouldnt happen in future as ATI are in for the long haul and if they break from xbox, then ms stil retain the rights to the gpu so they can make it with different companies

they never stopped early, they stopped when all the games that responded to emulation well were done. those that never got left. it was prioritised on the basis that they would focus on games they can make one emulator for that will work for several+ other games. ones that are left are either completely glitchy and not worth playing with the emulator, or some games were so unique that they needed their own emulator and the devs of the game wernt forthcoming at offering support for BC so it never got done in the end. theres reason though why games got left, either never worked properly on the 360 when emulated or it wasnt feasible to make a emulator for it on its own and the devs wouldnt support making one

Likewise. I never got through it because my original Xbox died on me like a week after I bought the game (which would be almost two years ago now, I think). I was sorely disappointed when I discovered that it wasn't backwards compatible, especially since the other Oddworld game, Munch's Odyssey, is backwards compatible. It makes no sense. Also, no TimeSplitters 2 BC is incomprehensible.

All my xbox games are now BC', from what I understand they stopped as soon as all bestsellers and highly regarded games were BC. Some games that aren't either of those also got backward compatible because the same emulator used for a bestseller also worked for this title (for example: Barbie horse adventures).

I bought Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Timesplitters 2 thinking they were backwards compatible. What a disappointment.

about 8 months ago, now any futher updates will be done by devs only , instead of devs and ms , so odds on because theres no money in further emulators you wont see any more

I have around 50 xbox original games so out of those probably. I just play them on my original xbox though it is hooked up in my room.

I have quite a few too... so many that I had to get back my original xbox so I could play a real baseball game... Even if something is BC I just keep the old one around just in case.

That's what I have and JSRF doesn't work but the racing title does. I guess I just need to get a new copy of it if I want to play it.
