Xbox has had a big history with Backwards Compatibility on the Xbox 360 that many people dont know about.
In this video we will go over that history and look at the both amazing and downright bizarre results at times.
The Whitelist: en.wikipedia.o...
Big shoutouts to FrameRater for letting me use some of his footage. You can check out his Xbox video here:
• 360's Xbox Emulator EX...
And a big thanks to Praskieva gaming who was able to record the Halo 2 Ghost Effect:
• Halo 2 Let’s Play | Pa...
I hope you all enjoyed this little video of mine, I know I'm the animation guy but this is the kind of video I've
wanted to make for a long time now and I figured it was finally time. Like I started writing this script 2 years ago.
Hopefully I can make more content like this in the future but for now I'll be returning to an animation I had been working
on in the shadows.

Something worth checking out is that the 360 backwards compatibility forces games into 720p, but if you use cfw to force it to only go to 480p, the games with framerate issues smooth out and run a lot better. Worth checking out if you're itching to play Rockstar stuff in particular.

The Duke being so big was the reason it was so comfortable it felt like it was meant for actual adults and not a small child like Sony or Nintendos controllers of the time. Hell I was only 13 when the original Xbox launched but I still appreciated it's much bigger controller over it's contemporaries.

I remember fondly going through the lists whenever they'd update it to see what games were added. My original Xbox had died and so I was left with only what would work on the X360. In this day and age though, it's so easy to just get an HDMI cable for the original Xbox and load a hard-drive up into it. 720GB and now every exclusive is inside.

I am a Xbox Fanboy since the first OG classic Xbox (having now 8 of them, crystal and black, in my collection). I do have also PS2´s and PS3´s in my collection, but with buying a PS4Pro especially for my kids, bundled with the PSVR, my Sony experience ended. As for breaking the console with a firmware update, after that the Disc Drive not working anymore (100% sure), Sony is dead for me. I also do have a modded 360S in my collection, with a huge collection of classic Xbox titles, together with a selection of my 360 titles, loaded onto the HDD of the console. Same as for two of my OG classic Xbox consoles. And for the Series X, I have connected a 4TB external HDD and put all of my most beloved titles of OG Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One era on the HDD.

Burnout 3 Takedown for example, works great on the 360, no problems when I played it. Outlaw Golf 2 on the other hand... I didn't get into the game because the intro movie that played was going in slow motion. Need for Speed Underground 2 played okay, minus some audio hiccups here and there but it was playable. It's why I have an OG Xbox system these days so that way I know these games will play just fine on the original hardware. Not to mention the fact that pairing a 2002 Xbox with a Chimeric HD Cable and an mClassic device makes these games look pretty good, especially with games supporting 480p and above. Outlaw Golf 2 even has a noticeable difference from 480i Composite to Chimeric HD and mClassic looking like a 480p game.

(granted only 3 of them came out after year 2) also i agree that the lineup is bountiful and loaded, but also (just like some xbox 360 titles made bc for xbox one) theres an unnecessary amount of titles already available for 360 made bc that just seems like a waste taking spots away from games that actually deserve it (i.e: call of duty 3, cars, fifa 06, fifa 07, lego star wars ii, open season, pga tour 07, american wasteland) also the whitelist has 2 games that never released for it (he-man and samurai jack) and its weird nobody at microsoft noticed this

You had to update for 360 backwards compatibility, it wasn't available at launch and they rolled out some games pretty slowly from what I remember. Something about having to support it manually, you couldn't just play whatever games you wanted. I didn't have accessible internet for my consoles for quite some time, so by the time I got around to it, I no longer really cared about backwards compatibility that much. I think I played maybe... a little bit of Blinx the Time Sweeper? Got stuck on a boss fight after being bored that it wasn't like that sequel demo I played where you could make your own character and then never played it again. Though I did buy a few Xbox games while on sale, including Halo 2, I just never got back around to trying to play *any* of them on 360. I think the only game I played through all the way was Fable: The Lost Chapters, but I have a PC copy of that now (NOT Anniversary, blech) so my old Xbox copy is mostly gathering dust at this point. Backwards compatibility is great and it certainly encourages me to get newer systems (I would have bought a PS5 for PS4 backwards compatibility had they not pissed me off by doing such a poor job of supplying the system before the shortage, which made it IMPOSSIBLE to get one for a reasonable price when I already felt the system was expensive and hard to justify purchasing to begin with), but the rollout needs to be more tight. Nintendo, for years, supported backwards compatibility on their handhelds. GB to GBC, GBA could play all those, then the DS could play GBA games and even had unique functions like dual-slot mode for Pokemon games that enabled you to catch Pokemon not available in the Sinnoh region as well as transferring your Pokemon to the latest generation at the time, and the 3DS functions with all DS games, of course. It wasn't until the Switch that we lost that. It being a home console/handheld hybrid meant they weren't invested in selling it on backwards compatibility and we wound up getting most Wii U games as expensive (often bare-bones) ports over a long period of time as Nintendo tried to recoup their losses with their previous failed home console. Players care enough about not having to blow money on the games they already own that home console publishers have gone out of their way to appease them with backwards compatibility options, but like the 360 I feel it's all pretty lacking. The PS5 does seem to have pretty much 100% compatibility with the PS4 library, but the original PS3 could play PS1 AND PS2 games. Later models lost the PS2 feature, but maintained the emulated hardware of the PS1, on top of offering digital copies for many of the games you might want that you could buy if you didn't have the games anymore or they didn't work. That was probably the best way of handling it, mixing digital sales with compatibility of physical ownership and trying to stretch back as far as possible. There is absolutely no reason you can't play PS1 games on your PS4 or PS5. It would be so easy for Sony to create an emulator for it and even PS2 games if they wanted to. They have the source code, they know how it all works. They could create a proper emulator in no time and the PS4's hardware, with that added knowledge and ownership rights to the tech/software that emulator creators typically don't have for optimizations, _could easily handle it._ But I'm ranting at this point. I don't expect much from these companies these days. I can emulate most of this stuff anyway and where I can't (xbox and xbox 360 emulation is way behind), I will be able to one day and that's enough for me. I've got my old systems to use in the meantime, too.

I still have my 360 but never get any time to pick it up. Watching content like this makes me get that itch to play again, but I don't think I'll get much of an opportunity.

I can say that ultimate spider man and mk Armageddon do look amazing on the 360. Especially ultimate Spider-Man, it a night and day difference on the 360 vs OG xbox

Xbox are the kings of backwards compatibility despite being younger than PlayStation and Nintendo I have a copy of Conker Reloaded from 2005 and I can play that on my xbox one and I would bet every xbox console to come

Anyone else having issues lately playing backwards compatible on the 360? Some of my game's textures randomly disappear or be replaced by other textures within the game on certain levels where they completely disappear. Basically let me explain it like this a building in the game with brick textures gets glitched and now it's using some random texture in the game files instead of looking like bricks and now looks like dirt or a character's face texture all over the building. Or sometimes the texture just completely changes purple.

The Backward compatibilty on 360 is done via emulation, not via native hardware like PS1 BC on PS2, so the strange issues aren't too surprising, apparantly it was quite hard to emulate the OG Xbox. Its a shame Microsoft didn't mandate BC earlier in the 360's development, instead of nearly at the end.

It can be kinda hard to emulate, I had an 8th gen i5 and even it struggled to maintain stable performance in an Xbox emulator far more advanced than the 360's.
