In order to play games for the original Xbox on the Xbox 360 you will need to have the hard drive. This is because the update is downloaded onto it.
In short: no. The Xbox 360 has to install an original Xbox emulator program to run the Xbox games. It stores this emulation software on the hard drive.
you need to update the system. then it will install the new update. or it could be the smudges on the disk
Sadly, you cannot. you have to log on to xbox live to be able to download xbox original or arcade games. you can however buy xbox original games as long as you have a hard-drive.
Yes you can, with the new update Microsoft brought out for the 360, you can burn games you own directly onto the hdd and play them without a game in the drive No you can't. Don't know where this guy got his information from, but I own a Xbox 360 and have my entire library installed on my HDD with the recent update and it won't let me do it. Just tried it by the way.
a new PS3 update is released every month or so, and you are unable to go to online games or the PlayStation Store until you download and install said update.
yes you can but only if you have a hard drive
All Xbox 360s can play all the Original Xbox Games on this list http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm provided that you have an Xbox 360 Hard Drive and can update the game with Xbox Live or through a computer and USB flash drives or DVD/CDs
Yes, you need a hard drive to play original Xbox games because the hard drive contains the emulator that allows the original Xbox games to play on 360
you can download original xbox games from xbox live to your xbox but not all are combatibal.
That's part of what the update was supposed to do, prevent flashcards from working. But the original games should still work fine.
you just select yes but if your xbox original game has not been "selected" for the "list" of 1,000 of games that have been updated for the xbox 360 format
