    How To Get Original Xbox Game Support for Xbox 360


    Original Xbox® game support enables your Xbox 360™ video game console to play an array of games from your original Xbox video game console. A list of games that are currently backward compatible is available here and we will continue to add support for additional games over time.

    Original Xbox game support requires a hard disk drive (HDD) accessory on your Xbox 360 console.

    There are three ways to obtain updates for your Xbox 360 console:

    Update through Xbox LIVE®.
    Burn a DVD or CD.
    Order a disc by mail from Xbox.com.
    Technical Support
    You receive "This disc is unreadable" error.
    "Can't play this game" or, in Halo® 2, "You have an important message from Xbox LIVE" error message.
    Xbox LIVE Update
    Getting the update free through Xbox LIVE is the best option because your console will be updated automatically as new games are supported.

    In order to update your Xbox 360 console over Xbox LIVE, a broadband Ethernet connection to the Internet and an Xbox LIVE account are required. The Xbox LIVE account can be either a Gold or Silver membership.

    The first step is to connect your Xbox 360 console to your broadband connection.



    The second step is to create an Xbox LIVE membership or add Xbox LIVE to your offline profile, if you haven't already. A profile can be created from the Dashboard by pressing the Xbox 360 button and selecting "Sign In" or by pressing the X button. The Dashboard will take you through the process of creating a profile, but you need to select "Join Xbox LIVE" to finish creating the profile.



    Your console will be restarted when you join Xbox LIVE, so be sure to save your game progress before doing this step.

    You can also add an Xbox LIVE membership to an existing profile by selecting "Join Live" from the Xbox 360 Dashboard.



    You will need to enter in some information to create your membership (such as name, age, membership type, etc.) The whole process is painless and should take about five minutes or so. Select any type of Xbox LIVE membership you want to get these types of updates.

    Following the addition of your Xbox LIVE membership, you may be asked to update the software on your console. Select "Yes" and wait for the update to finish.

    Finally, make sure you're signed into Xbox LIVE, and then place an original Xbox game in the drive and close it. This will start the backward compatibility application and cause Xbox LIVE to send an update to the application, if necessary.

    Note: Once you have started this process, you must proceed to completion. Failure to complete the install process may result in your Xbox 360 being unable to play any games until you have finished.

    Once this update is installed, you are ready to play any supported original Xbox games. Future updates will be installed automatically, as long as you are signed into Xbox LIVE when you start the original Xbox game.

    Download and Create a Disc
    The second method is to download a file from Xbox.com and burn a DVD or CD. This method is a quick way if you don't have your console connected to a broadband connection, or if you use a dialup connection to the Internet. You could even do this at a friend's house who has an Internet connection and a DVD or CD burner.
