Backwards compatibility problem

Can you try playing that disc on another console? Do other original Xbox titles work on your console?

You need to play the game while connected to Xbox Live, it will then download a patch which will allow you to play the game. After downloading this patch you can disconnect from Xbox Live and you will still be able to play.

Hello, I got a question about it. Does someone know if there will be a new update about it, because I can't even find anything to download, ... . And I really wonna play my old xbox games again ;)

RancidNote - nope, it hasn't been updated in a few years, and there are no plans to add further titles to it.

You can find a list online, pretty easily, of what games are actually supported, though.

I am having this issue too i even have the game system hooked right to my modem and I cant get it to do anything I am really bummed as i would like to be able to lay it again when i m done with skyrim. is there any other way to get the atch to the console with out starting the game?

UlcerousComb - Possibly!  The Official Xbox Magazine discs used to contain all of the current backwards compatibility updates.  I'm not sure if they still do, or if the new dashboard affects this in any way, but I uesd them to update all of our 360's in Afghanistan a couple of years back.  Was a huge benefit.  There hasn't been an update in a couple of years, so probably any disc after like 2008 or 2009 should update pretty much for any game that works.  Good luck!

seriously. how hard is it for the low grade geeks to submit a Back pack that has the encodings of the 15 previous programming companies. the first xbox only had 5g of memory, now we got ones near or exceeding a terrabite. one 1g update shouldn't have any issues. I mean seriously, if we have packs that are 5g for just one game. why not put it out there. then we could enjoy all the good old days of Fable and Morrowind, star wars KOTR I & II

I am having the same problem except the error message says that the game cannot start. I recently bought morrowind and a brand new 360gb HDD and It won't download any patches. I do have the latest console update and i am on xbox live gold. I also have it for PC but I want to play it without having to use console commands for everything.

Suggestions?
