Xbox Originals Imperfect on 360

Original Xbox titles downloaded via Xbox Live for use on Xbox 360s will run imperfectly, says Microsoft.

On Tuesday the platform holder announced that its forthcoming fall dashboard update will enable Xbox 360 owners to download original Xbox titles such as Halo, Fable, Crash Bandicoot and Burnout 3 via Xbox Live Marketplace. However, the company has since posted a list of known issues affecting the performance of the classic games on its latest hardware.

“… Any additional content within a game (such as a demo or trailer) is not supported by Xbox Originals titles and selecting those options may result in crashing the game (requiring a restart of the console).”

Halo suffers from “some very mild frame rate drops”, while in Fable “there are some random bursts of audio static and some minor texture issues”.

A complete run-down of known issues can be found on Xbox.com.
