    Can't play original Xbox game "The Suffering" on Xbox 360


    Trying to play Xbox game "The Suffering" on my Xbox 360 but get message saying "This original Xbox game is not supported on your Xbox 360 console. An update...may be available..."etc. I'm new to Xbox 360. I don't play online; only play discs. Here are
    my steps to get the game to play:

    -verified game is on the list of original Xbox games which should play on the Xbox 360

    - verified game is authentic and NTSC

    - installed original 320GB Microsoft harddrive

    - installed updates

    - gone through suggestions by Mister Gwyther posted on the forum here: http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/xbox_360_support/f/8/t/25.aspx: - deleted content, cleared cache, deleted then reinstalled updates, tested harddrive, tested the game,
    I have no purchase history.

    I have read that I need to load an “emulator” file for this game but don’t know how to do this. I would appreciate any help on this matter as The Suffering is my favorite game.

    Have just started playing on the Xbox 360 so using one online is new to me. You will not insult me by giving me basic instructions!

    Thanks.

    :)

  2. What will you do if you can't play older games on new x-box

    How many original xbox games do you play on your 360?

    -

    A few months into the new console and you will never look back at 360 games again.

    [/quote]Yep.

    I have enjoyed my 360 over the years.Once the one hits it will be curtains for my 360 .RIP.

    Most likely mine too, but I'll still hold on to it. I still have my original Xbox and some of the games (The Suffering, Doom 3, Halo, Ghost Recon...)

  4. Can't play original Xbox game "The Suffering" on Xbox 360

    Hey mate, out of curiosity, have you ever connect the console to the internet? The reason I ask is you need to compatibility update for the originals to work and if you haven't connected the console to the internet it might be the reason why.

    Also you don't necessarily need an internet connection to get the update, you can put it on a CD as well. Have you seen the information at this link:

    Yes, I did read that post and used those instructions.

    Initially I downloaded the updates to a jump drive from my laptop and loaded them from the jump. When that didn't fix the problem, I deleted those updates, connected the console to the internet, and downloaded them directly. Still, no dice. But thanks
    for the input.

  6. I also found this link which suggest that maybe if HDD isn't official, was this a hard drive that you bought after the console purchase?

    Take a look here anyway:

    The emulator that you need would already be installed on your hard drive as long as it is an official MS brand hard drive. Otherwise, there is no way to install the emulator yourself. If the hard drive was purchased used, or from a third party like ebay,
    it's highly likely to be a knock off and will not run original games.

    Can't play original Xbox game "The Suffering" on Xbox 360

    There are official 320gb HDD's but these were only available with the S-series of the Xbox360 and on their own for a brief while, unfortunately they weren't available mass-produced for long.

    For reference the following HDD sizes apply to the following consoles:

    Xbox360 (original): 20gb, 60gb, 120gb, 250gb.

    Xbox360 S and Xbox 360 E: 4gb (no HDD included), 250gb, 320gb.

    Memory Units, (Xbox360 original only): 64mb, 256mb, ("Arcade" Xbox360 only), 512mb; some of these come bundled with games.

    Official USB sticks: 8gb, 16gb, (you can use most USB sticks and memory cards plugged into a reader as long as they're between 1gb and 32gb and formatted for the Xbox360, you can only use up to 2 at a time though.

    At the time of writing, external HDD's are only supported on the Xbox One.

    As mentioned above there are a lot of fake HDD's on the market, if you feel you've received a fake product the best thing to do is stop using it immediately as this may have an adverse effect on your console and potentially your account, and also report
    the seller if necessary.

    Also contact Xbox Support if you need help finding out whether the HDD is official or not, their numbers are 1-800-4MY-XBOX in the US and 0800-587-1102 in the UK, both are toll-free.

    A full list of support numbers can be found here:

    I DID buy my 320G HDD used. It has the Microsoft label and I believed it to be authentic. I just called the number Scotty Chan gave and they verified it was authentic but maybe faulty and I should send it back (it's under warranty).

    When I get the new one I will let you know if that was the problem. Until then, thanks for all help.

    Got the new HDD from Microsoft and that fixed the problem.

    what is a decent Horror Game to get as a gift

    If the 360 is backwards compatible with The Suffering from the original Xbox, buy them that. It's scary as ***.

    Bought a old Xbox game (rollercoaster Tycoon) and it won't load on my xbox 360 ERROR code: X: 5829.0 B: 1884.0

    Sorry, but Rollercoaster Tycoon is not backwards compatible with the Xbox 360. There is no way to run this game on your console.

    All the original Xbox games that can run on the Xbox 360 are on this list:http://support.xbox.com/games/play-original-games

    If the game is not on that list, you can't play it on an Xbox 360.

    This is getting ridiculous with the amount of remastered games

    Out of 1,000 Original Xbox games released, only 476 of them will play on Xbox 360, and it's definitely a hit or miss. Some of them play just fine, while others suffer from frame rate issues, occasional graphical problems, slightly longer load times, and
    a few minors glitches, most of them don't play too good on Xbox 360, so I would keep your Original Xbox console if I were you Lei Fang.

    Xbox Original game STILL WON'T PLAY

    To be able to play an original game you should be able to get online. Xbox Live functionality for original Xbox games has been discontinued. You can, however, set up a system link between original Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles:

    support.xbox.com/.../connect-system-link-play

    Since your console is banned you can't use this feature thus you can't play the Original Xbox game.

    Solid red light on Xbox 360

    The RROD is only applicable to original Xbox 360 models. OP has a Xbox 360 Slim model, which does not suffer from RRODs.
