    with 360. My daughter wanted to play a game of hers (older Xbox game SSX Trickery) some snow boarding game. The 360 doesn't support it ..yet. Any idea if all the older games will be able to be played on the 360?

    Is your XBOX the premium system with the hard drive? I know that having the hard drive loaded with the emulator is the only way to play older games.

    Yep $399.00 worth of game. Her game is one of those platinum games. The real early XBox games. So I am hoping that the more current ones will play

    wow. that's lame. i realize it's probably not too profitable, but you'd think there'd be a pretty good system for recompiling the executables to run under the new system. that's all you'd need to download is a new executable designed for the later hardware. games these days are like 99% assets and 1% executable code. i can't imagine the new hardware is incapable of anything the old hardware was capable of.

    in fact, a recompile would allow those who wanted to, to make adjustments to the game (like clipping distance or level of detail settings) that would make the games look better without too much effort.

    ms should have coordinated backwards compatability better. i know ps1 games kept selling after ps2 came out cuz you could still play them.

    The problem is that in addition to changing from an nVidia based graphics solution to a next generation ATi chipset, they also made an evolutionary leap forward in terms of central processing unit(s). The hardware in the new box is just massively different than the old one.
