Original Xbox Games Playable on Xbox 360

[cavalcade]

Does nayone know if there's a way to make PAL Xbox games run in 60hz? I've tried playing Ninja Gaiden and Half Life 2 but both were absolutely terrible. It's the first time I've played a game in 50Hz in ages and it was awful!

Ninja Gaiden had a 60Hz mode and looks stunning through VGA. Half Life 2 didn't, and while it looks a bit scabby, it's something of an achievement that it's more or less Half Life 2 on the Xbox. It won't work via VGA though.

Picked up Conker cheap of ebay, looks absolutely fantastic on the 360. No widescreen though.

I think later on I will go through my US (and few UK) XBOX library and see what work on my XBOX 360.

Anyone get pissed off having to put the Xbox 360 from 720P to 480P everytime they want to play a Xbox game full screen? Ah well.

I got Max Payne today for £1 at my local Blockbusters, as I hadn't played it in years I figured what the hell. It certianly doesn't look as amazing as I remember, but it is still fun.

Slightly off topic, they had Halo for £2, Project Gotham for £1 and Rainbow Six for £1 (several copies of each). If anyone wants these games I'll happly send them to you for price and postage.

By full screen you mean stretched right? Why would you want to do that?

Indeed, most XBox1 games are not supposed to be played in Widescreen mode,

doh i was gonna get psyconaughts till i saw that vga thing

it must be quite bad since its on the list twice!

[atrus]

Yeah, using VGA kills backwards compatibility for PAL users...

[Commander Marklar]

Sure does. So many 50hz games... who'd have thunk it? I looked for a backlash thread but couldn't find it

Forza is on the list (just checked, didn't know) so that's ace. Looks good too!

You PAL guys get screwed whichever way you turn. So glad I don't own a single item of PAL hardware.

Sorry to gloat.

That means you can never experience the pure sex that is Largo Winch....
