    Can't play original Xbox games on my 360


    A week ago today I had a 2 hour and 13 minute conversation with the Microsoft help line about my Xbox 360 not being able to play original Xbox games. I was told that it would be brought to the attention of higher-up tech support and I would hear back in
    24-48 hours, but I still haven't heard anything.

    My Xbox doesn't connect to xbox live (it was console banned several years ago, and Microsoft also couldn't help me with that), so I had to update my Xbox 360 through USB with an update from xbox.com. I keep getting this message for all the games I try

    "this original Xbox game is not supported on your xbox 360 console. An update to support this game may be available. For more info, go to
    www.xbox.com/games."

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the update multiple times. The hard-drive and xbox are official Microsoft products as well (I was asked this several times in my chat). It's a 20gb hard-drive and one of the Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360's. The person
    I talked with told me the game was supposed to do it's own update when I put it in, but it was skipping that step.

    The games are all discs on the "accepted games" list, and they seem to work fine on consoles other than mine.

    I've tried all the solutions on Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened. as well, but I'm at a loss! Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

    -My chat number was [Mod Removed] if that will be at all useful

    :)

    Can't play original Xbox games on my 360

    Hi there,

    the problem is that the game itself needs an update from Xbox Live in order to be supported on the console, but since your console can not connect to Xbox Live it can't get the update, besides connecting to Xbox Live there are no other ways to get an update
    for a game that is supported.

    I'm afraid it's just not possible with that console.

    Your console needs to download an emulation profile to play the game, and since you can't connect to Live to download it, your console won't recognize it. There's no way to download these profiles manually, nor can they be copied from other consoles. They're
    not included with the dashboard updates either. You're unfortunately out of luck.

    Extremely upset with Microsoft Over the Lack of backwards Compatibility on the Xbox One

    Why stop with the 360? Why can't my Xbox One play Original Xbox games? lol
  8. Obsessive Power Win User

    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.

    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.

    Maybe it's just one of the original Xbox games that can't play on the 360. Some original Xbox games will not work. Also make sure that your console is up to date on the software.

    Installing to hard drive

    No you can't install original Xbox games to a Xbox 360, you can only play from the disc.
