you can find the list at www.xbox.com

they add more every once and awhile and it takes time because they are basically writing emulating software for each game/engine. someday the majority will work, and even longer they will work correctly 100% of the time

You can find the full list here:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardco...tygameslist.htm

Most of my XBOX games (except Halo & Halo2, and the Rainbow 6 games) are not on the list (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

TOCA 2
Second Sight
Doom 3
Riddick
Midtown Madness
Burnout
Tony Hawks 2x (NTSC Anyway)
Ghost Recon Island Thunder

thanx everyone.

i get it now.. its not actually backwards compatibility.. they just have a xbox emulator built in, so you can play the old games. i guess thats why u need to run them off the hd too.

No, the game isn't on the HD, you still need to always have the disc
