Xbox 360 - Backwards Compatibility, For good reason - what are your views Options

[Shawn_]

M$ has said that the 360 can run most games well. The 360 will have some games that will not want to run just like the ps2's BC. Also I think that if there is a game that will not want to run like Halo 1 then M$ will really try to get it to run because of it's popularity.

Double thumbs up baby!

:-D!

Personally i could give a rats ass if its BC or not.I dont play any of my old games.....well i still throw in tony hawks 1 ,once in a while though lol.

Hell I don't care. I have two tv's, two xbox 1's and I will buy two 360's. Double your gameing double your fun, that's what I live by.

If it is backwards compatible then wouldn't you be able to use the same gamesave exploits in order to boot unsighned code . Now the program being booted would have to be updated ( evox is made for the origional xbox hardware ) . But in theory wouldn't this work ?? Any experts out there??

they probably already patched it up. plus i think saves are different now.

[Lamer123]

Yes but the saves would also have to be backwards compatable . People would want to transfer their profiles etc. And as far as patching it I could definetly see it considering they are planning on doing software emulation based off the cpu .

Yeah , but im sure they wont let you.

[Paronga]

yeah, im pretty sure it just wont work, and its not worth trying to get it to work, seeing as it will only be emulated, you could only operate in the Emulated world. So you can have a modded fake xbox in side your xbox 360. woot.

Though it will be interesting to see how the handle hte whole save and profile thing. How will they let you get your old saves/profiles?

[prankfurter]

i have heard talk of usb adapter to let you use xbox 1 controllers on 360 i imagine using that and a memory card will be how you will get your xbox saves and such...

at least for the games that support memory card

Well since someone just made it pretty much clear to me in this thread that there WILL BE backwards compatiability I more than likely will be buying a 360.

Backwards Compatibility? Bring it on...

For example; Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Hello? Black and White buttons? Shoulder Buttons? Weapon changing? Drive-bys? GTA:SA will be better on Xbox 360, just because of controls.

Yeah, sure why not... I would like Backwards Compatibility, although I only have like 3 or 4 games to bring over to Xbox 360, and the other 20-like ones... SELL!!!
