Original Xbox Games Playable on Xbox 360

Wow, PGR 2 looks ace in VGA, Hardly much of a step down from PGR3!

Thhis "mip" issue people mention. Is that the way the textures on the scenary update from a lower res to a higher res as you move towards them? I noticed it whilst playing last night and it was quite jarring once I spotted it. Very noticeable, especially on the diverge sections.

Also, found another little bug in C2C. The coins in the grab the coins mini game in Heart Attack mode don't show up. Choose the left stage 2 and you wil notice

Hopefully, these issues can be patched.

There's another issue in C2C where sometimes at the end of the race, one of the background noise effects gets stuck, and you have to exit to dash to get rid of it.

C' - Pretty much all games do a certain amount of mip, but it seems to be very heavy on the XBox emulation. I guess in most games you can't really see it, Outruns very far draw distance makes it very visible though.

Of course, none of these bugs is stopping me playing it, and I honestly never expected to see thid game compatible at all, after even American Sega gamers ignored it.

That's right. Unfortunately it's a bit messed up in OutRun under emulation, as when it's working properly you shouldn't really notice it at all.

Has anyone tried Silent Hill 2 yet? I'm embarrassed to say I've only played Silent Hill 4 (and completed it), so I plan to explore the older games at some point. If the XBox one works quite well, I'd rather go with that.

I tried Silent Hill2 just now, and it's not really working for me.

The 360 accepts the game to the point of the original Xbox logo screen, then the screen turns black and remains that way. If you move the analog stick and press buttons you can hear the game moving through the menu on the title screen, but since you can't see ****, there's little you can do.

My console and game are both PAL, and it's displayed through VGA. But I can't say if it works better on any other specs.

Just tried Guilty Gear, it says its not compatable, WHAT GIVES?!!!

This could be the 50hz/VGA thing ? Have you tried using component ?

[dogen]

I couldn't find my component cable to try it. But in my experiance when loading games that don't work with VGA, it usually brings up an explanation panel from the right of the dashboard, but this one doesn't.

Anyone knows if Tony Hawk 3 is in 16:9 widescreen? I have Halo and PGR1 and they are 4:3 which I don't really prefer my HDTV. Also, PGR1 seems to run REALLY slow, its like the emulation cannot handle the 60fps.

Also, any chance on Tony hawk 2x being region free? I heard its the best.

But my faith is restored, I think all games will eventually be supported. This is a big update and only a month later than the previous? It can't take that long to finally have access to Otogi 2 and Gunvalkyrie.

I'm playing on Pauper-tastic scart into me widescreen non-plasma, non-LCD etc telly and I get exactly the same, for what it's worth.

It's probably just as well this isn't working - I'd only wind up playing it all day when I'm meant to be painting skirting boards...

[Lyris]

Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams (USA on USA) working here, if that's worth anything.

[dogen]

Hmph. Why doesn't that suprise me.

[saturn-gamer]

I do know that SH2 Restless Dreams is regionfree. Sadly, I've got rid of that copy long ago. Otherwise if could've checked if that one works properly on a PAL 360 machine.
