    Only problem with SA on the 360, is that the cutscenes sometimes end up not syncing with the sounds, which is a problem i only experience on the 360. Still a rare problem though.

    The best result playing Xbox 1 games is in 720p or 1080i.

    Do you have an internal hard drive? you have to have an internal hard drive with the backwards comparability partition to play Xbox Classic games.

    The Xbox 360 E supports this, however some do not ship with an internal hard drive by default.

    If you have an internal hard drive you have just put in the console and formatted, you do not have the backwards compatibility partition, so follow my tutorial here: Upgrade a Jtagged Xbox 360's hard drive, restore the avatars and Xbox 1 emulator to setup the required partition.

    This will erase everything on the internal hard drive so be sure to back up any content to your PC first.

    Ok. I have a xbox 360 with a 250 GB MS HDD.

    I got this console for ESPN's NFL2k5. After starting the console up, it says that the game will not work. After installing the patch above it does indeed work!

    But now the LIVE connect ability is lost plus hence it will not allow me to update the game, because it wants the LIVE connection for this.

    Any way to fix this?

    I got it now! I registered for X-Box-Live, then startete the game, the 360 downloaded a "backward compatible" update on its own, plus the newest patch >>game runs perfectly!

    I missed the point further up that this update is not NON XBOX LIVE users!

    cheers
