I'm from the UK and have a PAL 360 but I downloaded the US update and it works with my machine.

BC still needs some serious work.

Yeah, I've noticed this on some games as well.  As long as the GTA trilogy works fine, I'll be OK with BC for a while

why ISN'T Star Wars: Battlefront 1 & 2 on this list?  

when you try and play a game that the emulator doesnt support does it display and error message or does the screen just go blank?

It displays a message informing you that the game isn't supported.

It tells you to check xbox.com for an update to the list, or something like that. I only tried out a few games to test it out. I'm fine playing Xbox games on my Xbox. I think MS should've either allowed full BC or none at all. There's no point in doing something half-assed. I mean, LOONS and Sneakers but no Rallisport Challenge 2? WTF?

In my view, it's nice that they enabled games for the young ones to work on the 360 since there are not that many 360 games for them yet.  However, you are right.  I recall reading that the "most popular" games would work.  I was expecting to see at least the collection of platinum hits work on the 360.

We'll just have to wait...it would be nice if MS updated the BC list again with a lot of good games right before Christmas.

Yeah, one game that has a big problem is Crash Nitro Kart.  I tried playing with my daughter, but multiplayer does not work on most maps.

That's pretty cool you can dl the update, burn it to disc, and install on the 360.

Anyone try playing Splinter Cell Chaos theory yet?

I tried it right after the update became available and it would lockup about 75% of the way through loading the first mission  

I tried it about 5 times and it's locking up at the exact same spot every time. I can tell because it's always the same frame in the animation that it stops on and it's always the same 2 seconds of music that repeat...

it works fine in my Xbox 1 but I was hoping to start the game fresh in 720p

Since this topic has been revived I have to say... when are we going to get a new update? BC sucks right now! You can call me a whiner if you would like but it really does suck. I want to play Doom 3 and Morrowind upscaled to 1080i. And Half-Life 2 upscaled in 16:9! It is one things to get a letterbox.... it is another entirely to get a box around the entire picture. BC is simply not where it should be.

No console system has ever been backwards compatible except for the PS2. Are you complaining about BC because you were spoiled by that one system?

The gameboy series.

[prankfurter]

gameboy is actually not considered a console its a handheld.

but the atari 5200 was totally back compat with the atari 2600

[BRD]

The Atari 7800 was backwards compatible with the 2600.  The 5200 was not.  

Also, Sega Mark III was backwards compatible with SG-1000 and SC-3000  games as well.

[tottenhamfan]

what would be nice if most of the bloody games in the list actually played on a monitor! only i went and bought the vga cable to find most of them dont work.what a big pile of pants
