Welcome to XboxIssues

Welcome. I decided to make this blog after being a Xbox Ambassador for a number of years.

If you don't know an Ambassador is a Volunteer that Microsoft uses to help ease the load on the actual hard working support people.

I noticed that alot of the questions I would get could easily be solved by using Microsofts Xbox.com site.

Since some of the help articles may be hard to find, understand or the issue may be called something different in the gaming community making it more difficult to solve, I've decided to make this blog to make it easier for fellow gamers to get xbox assistance, news and all things Xbox.

If you have any Xbox related question you can find the answer to feel free to contact me on YouTube, twitter or in the comments.

YSK: You can play original Xbox games on an Xbox 360

Even though the current generation of consoles (Xbox One, PS4) can not play games from previous generations (Xbox 360, Ps3).

You should know that the Xbox 360 can play the some discs from the Original xbox.  Just pop the Original Xbox Game in to the 360.

There is a catch though.  There is a list of support games, not all Original Xbox games will run.  Support for backwards compatibility actually ended in November 2007.

For this to work you MUST have an Official Microsoft hard drive in your 360.  If you have the 4GB model it's no go (the 4GB models actually do no have a HD but instead use flash memory).

Notes

  • If you’re not able to play a game listed below, try updating your console software. 
  • Game saves from an original Xbox console can’t be transferred to an Xbox 360 console. 
  • Xbox Live functionality for original Xbox games has been discontinued. You can, however, set up a system link between original Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles. Learn how to connect consoles for system link play. 
  • For information about troubleshooting game issues and errors, see the game manufacturer’s support website. 

Note This is a list of titles that have been certified for compatibility with Xbox 360. The list is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change without notice. To ensure the highest quality gaming experience, in the event that an unforeseen technical issue is discovered after certification is completed, Microsoft reserves the right to remove any game name from this list.
Footnotes

[1] The North American versions of these games are the only ones supported on the Xbox 360 console.
[2] The December 2005 update includes the Monk Zeng content from the limited edition of Jade Empire.
[3] The Japanese version of this game is not supported on the Xbox 360 console.
