Some models of Slim has problems to run Xbox originals games...

Let try to understand you have this game before and played in this console (slim)? is that right?

Because that a "little" problem in 360 tool for run Xbox original games...

The MS have discontinued the tool in 2010, when they close Xbox orginal network, end ended the support, if the game works before and now has stoped (repeting my self in this slim console), you have to enter in contact whif Xbox tellphone support and asks
solutions, if they not ansk refund.

If your situation is i yhave buy Fable 1 in a fat console and now in a slim model the game didn´t work..., i am sorry but some slim models has a hardware problems wgif the tool and didn´t read Xbox originals games...

The original Xbox games has some advices to do:

1st. Only US accounts in us territory can play (the games has IP block).

2nd. MS discontinues the support for Original box in 2010, that tool included.

3rd. See the compability list in the first post that helps a lot.

4th. That tool don´t work in some slim models; and only works in models whif hard drive (the slim 4gb model is included in NO HD MODEL, in order to "fix" that, you need to buy a slim MS hard drive).

5th You can still found the original Xbox games in games on demand section (i recomend to use that if youhave a fat model nad your account and fisical adress is in US).

I hoped if helped, and sorry my bad english, it´s self learnerd.

I have an XBox360S; supposedly no hard drive besides the 250GB or 320GB will play original XBox games. On top of that, the 20GB hard drive I have won't even play XBox360 games (it can transfer data to and from the console, but it will not directly play the
game from the hard drive). So, for all XBox360S buyers, you have to buy at least the 250GB hard drive that fits into the slim itself to play original XBox games; no external hard drive (that I know of) is 100% compatible with the slim version for any kind
of XBox game, 360 or original. The 4GB flash drive that comes with the "base" slim is OK for most games but it can crash or slow down during intense moments.

Are you looking fir info on the original Xbox360 or Xbox360s (Slim Xbox)?
