This info from ddstohr: I am not sure if this has already been reported but recently I downloaded the March/April 2006 Xbox Backwards Compatibility update to my PC for my new Xbox 360 from Xbox.com.au. I downloaded the file 'default.xex' to my PC (around 3.7 MB), WinRared it to a separate file and then burnt it to a blank DVD.
After putting it into my Xbox 360, doing the update and re-starting the Xbox 360, I put in the old Xbox game 'Terminator: Dawn of Fate' and saw that it worked no probs. This game was on the list of official older Xbox titles that would work on the 360 after the update.
I then put in an old Official Australian Xbox Magazine demo disc with Star Wars Lego and the disc was recognised so I happily played Star Wars Lego on my Xbox 360!! Excellent graphics, reflections, etc!!! Sure it is only a demo but this game is not listed as being ready for the Xbox 360 yet!!
I then tried some more demos - Destroy All Humans - it worked!!! King Kong for Xbox - no worries again but crap graphics!! Need for Speed: Most Wanted - no worries but again crappy graphics compared to the Xbox 360. Of course some old Xbox demos did not work at all - Serious Sam II and Moto GP URT 3.
But now I will try out all my old Xbox demo discs to see what does work and what doesn't - it will be interesting if some newer Xbox games or demos not yet released for the Xbox 360 will work on my 360 over the coming months!!
Just spotted this, too. Bizarre. Anyway, if games console are your thing, check out our Games Consoles Forum.
