By the way, looks like they haven't fixed that problem with stuttering in JSRF. Stutters much more than on the Xbox.

They're slowly but surely getting there. Kudos for MS. Just give the people what they want and patch the biggest Xbox titles. It'll be all good then, albeit unnecessery at this pace.

For those needing to know which EU games support 60Hz and hence work with the VGA adaptor, wikipedia has a list:

Although with this being released today it'll need updating.

Rallisport 2 is the kicker they need to port, as its one of the best racing games ever.

It would have been nice if they included some sort of 0 point achievements or something in those updates. I don't see why it can't be done and it would definitly add to my urge to play morrowind yet again.

Hrm. Gotham 2 emulation seems a bit duff. Black screen on car selection and locked up before starting a race...

Good luck playing Marvel Vs Capcom 2, it's seriously borked!

Until that Wikipedia list gets updated, can anyone say how many of these work with the VGA cable? I'm so sick of getting excited about certain games being added to the BC list, then find out they don't work with VGA.

Ooooh - PGR2 - the best of the series by far!

I hope PGR4 will be more like PGR2 than PGR3 :)

And JSRF as well - my most played game ever on the Xbox - the counter stuck at 99 hours of gaming time, and I played a lot after that.

Yes! Fantastic Microsoft!

Morrowind and KuF are great by the way - well recommended.

Marvel vs Capcom 2?! With that title sorted out all my Xbox games now work in my 360. I proclaim this to be a Good Day.

Edit: Less of a Good Day. I can't quite describe the problem, but the character sprites are slightly buggered.

Does the Game of the Year Edition of Morrowind work? Also very pleased about Silent Hill 2 and Doom 3 - RoE.

There are just 3 more left I'd like to see:

TimeSplitters - Future Perfect
ObsCure
Legacy of Kain - Defiance

I was sooo annoyed to find that Chronicles of Riddick is not on the list yet. I tried it out today and my 360 updated and it even read the disk on the dashboard (eg, it said "Riddick" on the disk read part) but then it said this game is not compatible. Someone here said they can't see them doing it cos of the remake/expansion coming later but they should still include the original, it really isnt fair as its easily one of the best Xbox games ever.

@Bulbatron: my GOTY Morrowind gives me a PAL-50 error message - because it doesn't work with the VGA cable. I can't try with Component, but I assure you that that message can only appear if the game is already compatible. So, ease down. Of course, maybe it would be better to await confirmation from someone who can actually start it... but I'm sure enough it works. If you have Component.

Cheers, Malek86. I'm just using an ordinary television, so in theory it should work.

You're welcome.

Also, I've updated the wiki page posted before with info from all the games I have. Not many, but maybe it can help. I hope more people will do the same, with time.

Godammit to hell! I can't get Silent Hill 2 to work! Of all the games - that was the one I was most looking forwards to!

I can't get any picture at all - only sound (I can hear the music from the 'mid-title-screen' movie. No picture though. It's just completely black. Don't think it's my setup, since I'm just using an SD TV.

I can get Doom 3 - RoE and Morrowind GOTY to work fine - so what's the deal with Silent Hill 2? Does anybody know how I might be able to get round this - or have Microsoft screwed up on this one?

Bulbatron:

I've seen someone else complain about that problem with Silent Hill 2 as well, so it's not just you (unless it was you on another board, heh). Shame.

It's worth pointing out that the dodgy titles are not added deliberately. It's simply that when getting another game to work, other games may suddenly work because they relied on the same functions.

"to be honest, most of these newly compatible games are ones you'd never want to darken your doorstep ever again"

FFS dude! Why would i want to play any other crapy games that arent for the current console I got? I understand for the PS3 owners since the PS2 games are better ( and almost none PS3 originals ) but why play xbox games on my freaking 360? Enough said and heard about this subject. Glad im joining the army in 2 weeks. This is sad

JSRF is still one of my favourite games. Threw it on to give it a test and ended up playing for about two hours. My only gripe is that there's some nasty slowdown. Most of the levels are pretty solid, but 99th Street's central area with the dragon seems to run at half the framerate of the other areas. I recall that part having some slowdown on the Xbox, but it was never that bad.

A notable lack of Timesplitters 2. One of the most awesome four player fpses to grace the last generation.
