Probably the holidays taking effect. Or they just haven't had time to bother with the launch. I haven't heard anything either tho.
rfmok
No, there will be no more future updates. The MS team gave up and realized that their emulation was a bunch of sh*t and they can't run games like Forza any better than what they are now.

Joking. Yea I wonder this question msyelf as I haven't seen any updates. I'm hoping things will get better. I was hoping that they would emulate 90 percent of all xbox 1 games, but apparently the list is getting smaller and smaller. Enjoy your hard drive like everyone else for saved games and market place for now, unless you feel like playing Halo 1 or 2 :-/. You're waiting like everyone else.

Update more games please!
twistedsymphony
They do one major update a month...

December's update added about 5 games (mostly Tom Clancy stuff)

January's update hasn't come out yet...

patience grasshopper laugh.gif
MrPhunkee
Ok, 5 games a month. When itll be fully bc we have xbox 1080 kickflip tailgrab

go to xbox.com and do some digging, you will find out why it takes longer for some games. Do some research.
MrPhunkee
Me dont care. Then they shouldnt have sell this product with the label "backwards compatible"
deakphreak
Who cares, if you have old xbox games then you most likely have an old xbox, use that.
MrPhunkee
I sold that junk, cuz 360 should have been bc

by your reasoning of your posts, if it doesnt support every game then they shouldnt say its "backwards compatible"? well then the ps2 shouldnt be labelled BC either as every ps1 games doesnt work for the ps2. also if you think the ps3 will have any easier time with BC your nuts, if im not mistaken dont they have to emulate the ps1/2 games on the cell/nvidia technology? or are they doing with the ps3 as they did with the ps2 and including ps2 chips in the ps3 to make BC easy? if all this is true then i would worry because sony isnt a software company and would blow writing emu. software.

many people expected anywhere between 10-30 titles on launch to be BC and we got around 200, yet people who dont know any better still care to bitch. rolleyes.gif you sold your xbox because you heard the 360 would be BC but you refuse to do research to learn about emulation and how the 360 would achieve its BC and yet even after all that ignorance on your part its easy for you to blame MS for things you know nothing of?? some people truely have some issues.

there is no telling how long it will take them to emu. the rest of the games and fix what bugs are in the original list, but atleast we know they are working on it. other then a choice few titles here and there they already have all my fav. xbox games on emu. so no complaints from me (not that i play them anyways.)
deakphreak
Very well said KAGE360. Since you sold you old xbox and dont seem to have any trust in your new system then either sell it and get your old xbox back or sell your old xbox games. You cant just expect everything you want to go your way, try developing some of these things and you will see what its like.

Kind of like a fast food place.... say they always mess up your orders and you get very upset. One day you work there and you realize what it takes to get food out quickly and you screw up every other order.... think about that for a minute.
MrPhunkee
People that work in fast food things, arent really smart.. Or else thet wouldn't work there.. So u know theres a chanche they just fuck up..

Yeah yeah kanu, ur leet.. Who cares bout sony? Well, ps2 = 95% bc.

And yes, i knew and know bout the emu stuff. Still don't care, they are high payed for that, so they should be able to fix it soon.

I only want one game to be bc and thats topspin, my only original game.. And splinter cell offcourse..

TopSpin won't be cause TS 2 is coming out shortly. Please dont lie to us about the research you claim to have done.

lol, so tell me the story about why Madden 06, Live 06, TH:AW and the other games made for xbox then ported for the 360 aren't bc...retard.
hamwbone
mr phunkee, you need to lay off the 40's... or have another. i cant tell.
sstrasser86
i think the games you mentioned arent on the xbox 360 is because of the technology that was used to make them. It is much more advanced than the earlier games and bc of that much hard to make an emulator for. its not bc M$ wants you money (i know...) but bc its alot harder to make it work on the 360
lex luther
BC/BC/BC Stop the crying already i don't know how many of you bitched and cryed wanting to play the 360 or just own one and now your going to fuss because it don't play some of the old shit that you have played over and over again? Hell if you loved the fucking game that much then don't buy a 360 stay with the old hardware Jeez!!! Grow up!! Hell i dident buy a ps2 to play ps1 games on wacko.gif and i dident buy a xbox 360 to play xbox 1 games on i bought it to play NEW GAMES!!

Good grief.. how can anyone miss the point so completely? There are a number of good old titles that look awesome upgraded to 720p+AA and none of launch games - those that I haven't completed yet - interest me. Why in the heck wouldn't I enjoy the old classics I haven't played before and that looked sh*tty in 480p.

Point me a x360 car game that rivals Forza in gameplay, versatility and configurability. And no, PGR3 is nothing like it.

Also, it's you're, not 'your'.

There would be no reason to have those games bc, because the same games are already on the 360; no point at all to waste time making them bc.

Previous games in a series is different, because they are not on the 360 already. IAlso, i wouldn't doubt that top spin 1 would be bc adventually.
yaazz
wow someone from these forums helped code the xbox 1 emulator? Kudos to you my freind, that is no easy task and halo 2 is almost perfect!

ive coded emulators before and i cant imagine coding an xbox emulator!
crobar
they code the emulator to wrork with games a,b,c,d,
because games a,b,c,d, ar the most popular.
if games x,y,z, end up working under the code of games a,b,c,d bonus.
so now they have to work in games e,f,g,h
in doing so games b & c have bugs
and they work out the bugs but now game y doesnt work...
so now they have to figure that out and when they do game a has bugs....
emulations isnt some cut and dry application and anyone who says they arent working fast enough or hard enough is ignorant.

I wasn't referring to you so much as some of the previous (now hidden) posts which had some fairly COLORFUL language... I don't think many people realize that XS now carries rules against foul language wink.gif

Hmmm... I wouldn't say no point. There is certainly a point. System Link.

I didn't get rid of my Xbox. I would love to take it upstairs and play Burnout Revenge with my wife over System Link as we can with Halo. Using Burnout Revenge as an example; the game was released in September, you would think that MS would have made EA/Criterion be on board with BC with games released that close to launch.

I really doubt that the 360 version will system link with the Xbox version....its a shame.

I must be stupid. what is sp4?

As is said above, have you not noticed that any game that has recently come out on xbox and 360 is not backwards compatible? Keep up the research!

Here's a link to get you started. www.XBOX.xom. I know you may not have heard of it but it's got some relevant information.

Also is English not your 1st language?]

i know it's hard to get some game to work correctly with the BC emulation, as original hardware, different game uses different techniques etc.

but how come there is DoA3 (Dead or Alive) in the list, but not DOA:Ultima blink.gif how they managed to get one version to work but not the other? is that game not running on the same engine? i heard Ultima uses something from DOA2, not sure if that was the whole engine or just the character models...

During the spring we actually had a blog from the very guy working on the BC, but nobody has mentioned it for months now and I dont remember the url. It was full of stuff about how he was hired to do this job and how its really difficult to do etc. unsure.gif

I highly doubt that it is only 1 guy who is working on the backwards compatibility.
