I wonder about that too. The fact that some 360 games are supported on newer consoles but not others suggests either they're doing game-specific hacks or they actually change the source code.

The 360 could also play original Xbox games without much exception, but it was noticeably slower than the original. Halo 2 on 360 has a shorter fov.

I remember there being a list of what it could play but I was never too sure how comprehensive it was. I know it couldn't emulate Midtown Madness 3.

Oh. So it can't emulate the game I probably played the most.
