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
Oddworld Stranger´s Wrath awesome game, i would love to play it again. is Jet Set Radio Future BC ? i only had those 2 games in the original xbox... and Conker´s Bad Fur Day remake it was my brother´s xbox btw that´s why, last gen i was more a Gamecube player.
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 companiesMidtown Madness 3, it makes no sense why a 1st party game wouldn't be BC.

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 oneLuckily I only have one, LoTR: Two Towers.

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.Oddworld Stranger´s Wrath awesome game, i would love to play it again.Chico_Azteca
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).
Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance isnt BC which is a disappointment.blinkFxThis. The only old Xbox game I own that I'd really like to play again.
Yeah it's BC.Oddworld Stranger´s Wrath awesome game, i would love to play it again. is Jet Set Radio Future BC ? i only had those 2 games in the original xbox... and Conker´s Bad Fur Day remake it was my brother´s xbox btw that´s why, last gen i was more a Gamecube player.

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 the one that has two games on the disc, some racing game, and it works perfectly. 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.[QUOTE="Strife88"]
For some reason my copy of Jet Set Radio Future doesn't work even though some people claim that it is compatible.
