Playing Original Xbox Games on the Xbox 360 S

unless you have the certain equipment to play original xbox games on the 360 s there is no way to play the original games

The Xbox 360 S isn't compatible with playing original xbox games. I use the Xbox 360 Pro, (60gb I think) and works like a charm on there.

Hi,

For the future, the games that were lauched for Xbox Original will need HDD (even if were downloads). I let you the list of games of Xbox Original Games that can be played in your Xbox 360 S (With Hard drive)

support.xbox.com/.../play-original-games

do you have the xbox 360 S? or the old big original xbox 360? cause the old HDD have a special emulator file that lets you play the original 360 games, dont remember if the newer 360s have that file on their HDD

Hello,

You'd need to do exactly what the message tells you to. You need to attach an original Xbox 360 hard drive to your console in order to be able to play original Xbox games.

If you have a Xbox 360 S 4GB or a Xbox 360 Original Arcade console then you'd need to get yourself an original Xbox 360 hard drive (either for the original Xbox 360, or the Xbox 360 Slim). This information is told to you when purchasing the game in the games
description. An original Xbox 360 hard drive can be purchased from most gaming related retail stores like Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Gamestop, etc.

"An Xbox 360 hard drive is required to use this item"
