Hi...I have an Xbox 360 with the firmware hack that lets me play backups of my 360 games. However I seem to be having some trouble with Xbox games:

Halo 1 and 2 both play fine, but none of the Grand Theft Auto games play, I have originals and backups to all 3 of them but none will play.

Is there any way I can make this work because I havent got any other way of playing them. Thanks in advance for any help!

Make sure they are of the same region as your console.Also check the compatibility list for xbox games playable on xbox 360.You can make a search for the compatibility list on google.

The games are all PAL, so they should play and all 3 GTA games are on the compatability list on Microsoft's site...help lol

Have you tried playing them on another xbox360?I guess you've already downloaded and run the xbox software emulator.If not,check here and follow the instructions.

Actually I haven't run that I never knew about it..I wonder why the Halo games worked then? Ah well, I'll give that a try now and post back here if it doesn't work. Thank you TY4ever
