Why do they have Barbie Horse Adventures as backward compatible and not BIA:Road to Hill 30 or Earned in Blood?

:lol: That's pretty funny. :P

I don't know why they don't make certain games backward compatible, but they might do so in the future.

I heard that it's difficult to get games that used most of the original xbox's memory to emulate properly. I remember morrowind had certain objects in the game be removed compared to the pc version because it would use up to much ram.

The reason they have Barbie and other 'minor' games is because the make the emulator be able to do big titles, and then in the process of getting the bigger titles supported it can also do other titles. And if you can have it without any extra work then might as well put it on

Yeah, love the avatar Scarface!

Seriously though, I'm not overly impressed with the work they've done to make my games backward compatible either. This was something I expected to be around 95% complete by now, and they're no where near. Is it just me, or does it seem like they only got like one guy down at M$ working on this in his free time. Maybe the janitor does it in between cleaning rest rooms - I don't know. It just doesn't seem that they are striving to hard to keep ole' Peter Moores promise anymore.

They were probably hoping people would have forgotten about it by now. They put SOME good backward games out and hope the 360 games would make you not care anymore.

iam sick of waiting for another Backward Copat update, ive waited so long for MGS2 and Time Splitters 3 to be playable on the 360 that ive actually dusted off my old Xbox to play them, and thats saying somthing. I almost died of dust inhalation.
