Backwards-compatable my ASS
 

Okay, so Ninja Gaiden works fine. No complaints.

Soul Calibur II. What the hell? Can I get an answer why Guilty Gear XX: #Reloaded is getting an update about four months before they release a NEW Guilty Gear game? It's a fix that's about a year too late.

And why is it I'm playing Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and suddenly I'm hit with massive slowdown in fights? Can it just not handle it? Is the Xbox 360 so goddamn elite that it can't handle four enemies and one ally in a game a generation ago?

Anyone else got the Back-Comp blues?

Before I poked around in my system, I couldn't get any old Windows games on my PC. It irked me... I had Quest For Glory V, Thief and a whole bunch of other great games that Windows told me "Cannot find executable file" or it just plain didn't read a disk.

Ooh, yeah, found that problem with Theif and Fallout. There's some tutorials online you can find.

I'm trying to play the KOTOR's again on my 360, and it's irritating, to say the least. The sound randomly craps out, the gameplay is punctuated by periods of lag, and there's usually a loud noise coming from the system while it runs the disks.

And as long as it's been mentioned, my copy of Quest for Glory V won't let me leave Silmaria!

Both KOTOR games do random loud noises (But glitches work out GREAT), I have issues with Ninja Gaiden, the Emulator isn't backwards compatible to save it's own ass. Wanna know the original two games that I never had a problem with?

Halo and Halo 2. Gee what a surprise. Out of my 30+ Xbox games, those were the only two that played without a hitch.

With the first update to the system hardware came support for Fable and Fable The Lost chapters. Mind you, TLC was already working moderately okay- but with the update my basic Fable went from not running at all to "Hey look instead of skin texture on my skin it's FUCKING LEAVES."

KOTOR 2 didn't even WORK until the latest system updates.

Heh my PS2 makes this roaring noise if I put PS1 games in it. Admittedly the PS2 is chipped. Also I've noticed slight lag on Paper Mario for the VC(though that may have been present in the original, been years since I played it). Luckily I've never had a real problem with backwards compatibility.

At least your PS2 is still playing PS1 games. >_<

I've not had problems with the emulators yet. KotOR and kotOR II run just fine for me.

Mind you, it's an emulator. It's not just running on the 360, it's in a program written specifically for THAT game, if I understood it all correctly.

The only games I've played backwards-compatible on 360 are Halo 2 and Starwars Lego 2. Both work fine. But, meh... I'll try some other ones later.

Well they finally got around to making Morrowind work and that will keep me happy for the next several months. It should take about that long to complete all the quests again in Morrowind and the two expansion areas.

Before the PS2, no one cared about backwards compatibility, and now it's shunned if a console doesn't have it. Strange.

Anywho, I've played some Halo 2, that works fine enough (aside from the ghosting in the single player.), along with some Unreal Championship 2. I'm a bit bummed that a Timesplitters isn't BC, but I'm not crying over it. I've been trying to find a copy of Jet Set Radio Future now that it's BC, but no luck so far...Damn...
