Anyone find it annoying that MS says the game is WORKING on xbox 360, but when you put it in their is either major graphical issues or it doesnt even work at all. For example, anyone have KOF 2002/2003 because apparently it works... at least KOF 2002 works if you like having seam marks across the screen. As for KOF 2003, it doesnt even load, just says x: error.

They count any game they made an emulator for, even if it only takes you to the title screen. I bought Castlevania for $10, only to discover that it isn't backward compatible at all. It looks nice sitting in my collection, at least. :P

i think MS should hire people that know how to emulate games properly. i mean you can download ps2, ps1 emulators onto your pc and they work pretty well if your computers specs are decent. the guys that made these pc console emulators could probably outmatch those retards that work for the backwards compatibility department at Microsoft.

MS has a single staff member working on emulation, which is why its going so slow.

Youve got to remember than MS has a system to how they develop products. First step is to get into a market as easily as possible, that means modifying on the shelf parts, adapting an existing product or buying a product and renaming it. Next they market it to hell and back. Doesnt matter if its good or not its the brand which matters. Next they make a proper product, but tie it to windows to make sure they hold the market. You can apply this to dozens of MS's product including the xbox. They dont really care about the xbox, as can be seen by how fast they dumped support for it. They want people thinking about the now.

That would probably be the only downside to the x360. Their backwards compatibility is spotty at best not to mention short listed. But then again I rarely play XBOX games on it.

This is new to them, I think since it's is their second console....They don't have experience in making games backward comp...

Sony and Nintendo have been doing this for years.....

Still, I must admit It is a shame to see how slow things have been....Where's Freedom Fighters?
