    Downloading original xbox games on the 360


    Hello. I payed and downloaded starwars battlefront 2 (2005) and it had no mention of a 360 hard drive on the page before downloading, I proceeded to download the game and when I opened the game it came up with a message saying that i need a xbox360 hard drive to play the game.

    at this time i do not a cannot get one of these "hard drives" to play the game

    Help me play the game without one of these stupid things or give me a refund

    I am very angry at this seeing there was no warning telling me that i did not have one of these things and that i needed one p to play the [mod removed] game.

    :)

    Halo 2 and Xbox 360

    Is it giving an error message saying you need to download the game or is it asking you to download an update?

    -

    An update is needed in order to let games designed for the original Xbox to run on the 360, for this you'll need a Live connection and an official 360 hard drive.

    Here is the official page about Xbox Originals support

    Fable 3: great- fable 1 + 2: ?

    It's an original, but I think it plays on the 360, and it's in the Xbox originals classics downloads for 360.

    Still unable to download original Star Wars battlefront 2 to my Xbox 360

    I'm in the same boat as this guy. Bought a bunch of Star Wars Xbox Originals on my 360 but cannot play the majority of them. It has nothing to do with the system cache, Hard Drive, ISP, or anything on the customer's end. It's all on Microsoft.

    It is because Microsoft has the games coded as "Xbox 360 Game", instead of "Xbox Originals Game".When a game labeled as "Xbox 360 Game" is digitally downloaded it always goes to 80% then immediately skips the last 20% of the download. On actual 360 games
    this has no negative effect. But Xbox Original Games require the full 100% download, Being coded as a 360 game causes the last 20% of the download to be skipped. Resulting in a corrupted game file or a "cannot download game" message. The original KotOR game
    is the only one I purchased that works because it is correctly coded as an "Xbox Originals Game".

    It is absolutely not right for Microsoft to continue selling these games in the 360 Marketplace when they do not function properly on the system. If these game have been available since April 2018 and they still have not fixed the issue it's hard to believe
    they even care enough to ever do it.

    Star Wars Battlefront won't download on 360

    On Microsoft's end, the download should be flagged as "Xbox Originals" game, not "Xbox 360 game". If an original Xbox game is coming up as "Xbox 360 Game" in the download list or Xbox Live Marketplace, it'll corrupt. Hopefully this'll be resolved
    for good, it's been happening on and off for many of the titles from the October and April 2018 batch of games.
    I know. Mine shows as xbox 360 game.

    GTA: San Andreas dirty disc

    I don't think that GTA San Andreas will work when downloading to a flash drive since it's an original Xbox game. Original Xbox games require an original Xbox 360 hard drive to play.
