By the way, here's the official Xbox 360 backwards compatibility list from Microsoft. Some of my students are reporting that some games offer enhancements when played on the 360. The site notes that software emulators are required for each game, so I'm not clear on how well they run--are some games even slower on the 360 than the original Xbox?
If you have more specific info regarding this, please let me know!
Hmm, we seem to have lost the "quote" option. I'm doing it manually.
Anyway, yes, the Xbox 360 uses "software emulation", which does cause some issues with frame rate and online stability in certain games or certain instances. However, overall, games seem to run well. As for enhancements, the only enhancement is upscaling to 720p, otherwise the games aren't touched. This upscaling is nice, as if you have a widescreen TV and the game was originally 4:3, it adds the black borders for you.
