Playing original Xbox games on 360.

If you have a new slim Xbox does it have a HDD? Because original Xbox games won't work unless you have the 250GB HDD. Also If you do have a HDD make sure that it is a MS certified or it wont work either. Halo 2 should work straight out of the box. Because
it's a software emulator powering backward compatibility and not the guts of the old machine inside the 360, you can run into a few problems with some games.

If it is on the BC list then it should play on your 360.

Hello Mark,

As stated above, you will need an official Xbox 360 hard drive in order to play original Xbox titles on the Xbox 360. You can find this written on this support article, along with what other original Xbox 360 titles you can play on 360: Play

Hope this helps!

You can play some original Xbox games on your Xbox 360 console if you have an official Xbox 360 Hard Drive.

If you’re not able to play a game that's an xbox original game, try updating your console software.

That game is on the list, what does it say when you try to play it?

The 360 has totally different hardware to the original Xbox, for the 360 to play original software it has to emulate it. The emulator needs additional software to tell it how to play these games, no updates, no play. Game demos for the original Xbox have
never worked on the Xbox 360.
