Just wanting some feedback on XB360's BC acouple of months on. Anyone tried some old games? Are many working? Are there any bugs or improvements? Are there frequent updates to BC files on Live?
How good is XB360 BC nowadays?

Wouldnt that be more like "you have yet to hear anything" positive or negative since they dont play their Xbox games on it?
I tried Halo and Halo 2 on it and it was flawless, but haven't tried anything else. But for kicks I will do it this weekend and report back.... Stay tuned.

Whew, glad to see they got Barbieâ„¢ Horse Adventuresâ„¢ Wild Horse Rescueâ„¢ working with the 360.
Numerous Xbox reps have stated numerous times that many games worked "for free" with the base emulator. Any game where you go, "I can't believe they wasted time on that" just assume it's a freebie.JarrodKing said:"The folks at Xbox® are working hard to add more of your favorite games to this list, so check back often for the latest updates.1"

There was a Splinter Cell update afaik (only update theres been, a week or two after launch). It was pulled but is back up I think.
Really, its all just been described as one bug after another, some of the games listed don't work, others have slowdown. Keeping the Xbox seems easier.
The only games I played BC this gen were RPGs, the only ones I plan to play next-gen BC are RPGs, so I'm not really worried about X360 failings in that department

I guess I should have clarified (even though I thought the implication was obvious). They don't use it currently, for various reasons (read: the negative things I've heard). They've tried it, and have kept their Xbox so they can actually play the old games.
who knows though, do your test and see what you find (some games have slowdowns only at certain parts -- like NG).
Heh, not so much I hear.JarrodKing said:Whew, glad to see they got Barbie™ Horse Adventures™ Wild Horse Rescue™ working with the 360.
As for the games I have tried; I have played Halo2, Crimson Skies, and THUG:2 on mine. THUG:2 is too choppy to be playable and obviously rendered at a lower resolution than when running on the orignal XBox. Crimson Skies and Halo2 single player I only played a bit of and they both worked nicely for me, but Halo2 multiplayer is a complete letdown. It does look much nicer thanks to the AA and runs well most of the time, but when the action gets hot things get rough. The worst I have seen was 6v6 in Turf where everyone was fighting it out around an exploding warthog that blew a dumspter across the map and both framerate and sound both cut in and out for a few seconds before picking back up again. I've also heard of people getting ghostly images of other parts of the game overlayed on the screen, though I have never seen that for myself.
But as for now, 360 BC, has totally let me down. I mostly just wanted it to play Halo 2 multiplayer on the console, but as for now I've been spending my time with other games and considering hooking my oirgnal Xbox back up if MS doesn't manage to get an update out sometime soon.
I've played Halo and it was better on the 360, I played Forza Motorsports and it seemed smoother on the 360 and I've tried SplinterCell : Chaos Theory which seemed about the same. I'm just not into the original Xbox games anymore because the 360 games just look much much better.
I've personally have never understood the draw of BC being so important. My xbox didn't disappear when I bought the 360 so I literally have full BC Next generation console....I should be interested in next generation games.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory was my favorite game on the original Xbox.....graphics are some of the best (of the games I own) and I enjoyed the game play. But after playing 360 games.....Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory looks like garbage now....so I don't even play it anymore (looking forward to the next one....).
BC is so overrated (to me anyway).....it's next gen time, not last gen time !!

Ninja Gaiden has horrible HORRIBLE HORRIBLE framerate dips, quite frequently. I haven't bothered with any other games.
