Playing Original Xbox Games on the Xbox 360

Hi,

So I have an Xbox 360 and I am trying to play some original Xbox games on it, including Call of Duty: Finest Hour and Medal of Honor: Frontlines. I have downloaded the update from the Xbox Support page and uploaded it onto the Xbox and the game still doesn't
work. I have an Xbox 360 original hard drive as well. And when I put the game in, a screen pops up saying the game hasn't downloaded properly. I have tried to find the games on Xbox Live to download them, but can't find them. I also looked up game emulators
online and some websites mentioned these could be downloaded from Xbox Live as well, but I have no idea where to find them. Is there something I am missing? How do I play the original Xbox games? Thanks so much for your time,

Kelsey

Just out of curiosity, was the hard drive an official Xbox hard drive? If not, you do need the official one. As davemcfly85 said though, if you do get one just pop it into the console when you do get one.

 

Playing xbox original games on the xbox 360

I once owned the Original xbox and later purchased the older version xbox 360. I kept all of my favorite games from the Original and played them on my old xbox 360 after buying the needed side panel hard drive. This worked perfectly until I had to toss
out the old xbox 360 due to the "red ring of death". I purchased the newest version of the xbox 360 and have been playing the xbox 360 games just fine. It said it required an "official xbox 360 hard drive" to play the original games. I went to radio shack
and purchased said hard drive. I updated and installed it without a catch onto my computer then plugged it into my new xbox. When I try to play my old games it says I still need to purchase the hard drive to play games. I went into my "portable devices" and
"storage/memory" sections and It wasn't recognized in either place only saying I had the 2 storage devices, the same Ive had all along. I got the directions to set up the hard drive from the man at radio shack. I also went and searched every page of Xbox.com
and it never came up with a solution. Both of the new Xbox 360 and the Hard drive are brand new. I have also tried just setting up a thumb drive and the pictures and music came up but not the storage. Once again still wanting the hard drive. its really been
stressing me out trying to get this figured out I've put in a *lot* of money and time for this. Thanks sooo much for helping.
