I think we all heard about the Xbox 360 being compatible with ALL the Normal Xbox games...

The list of games was updated on June, its almost September and not a single game has been updated...

Did Microsoft took back his word of making it 100% compatible?

Is there any program that I can install into my 360 that can make it 100% compatible?

I can't hold no more specially since I bought Brother in Arms 2 and can't find my Xbox console...

Microsoft never said that the xbox 360 would be backwards compatible with all the xbox games. In fact I think they said it wouldn't happen at all. But then they changed their tune once people expressed how important it was to them. Last I heard they weren't planning on doing many more games if any at this point.

There is no way to make 100% games compatible. The reason for this is because the CPU and graphics card in the xbox 360 are completly different than in the xbox, so they cannot use hardware to play the games. In the case of the PS2 and the PSone, the ps2 basically had a psone inside of it, so you could play all the psone games perfectly. With the Xbox 360 any game that is made compatible is because of a software emulator that microsoft has to develop for each game.

I know that isn't the answer you want to hear, but hopefully that does answer your question.

Thanks for your reply, actually its healthier to hear the truth rather than checking every day the backward compatibility game list...

THANKS!
