While Microsoft publishes a list of Xbox games that are compatible with the Xbox 360 at http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm that list does not really go into detail about whether or not there are issues with the games. It is my hope that the community can come together and provide a more detailed list - which can help gamers figure out their Xbox1 purchases and help MS figure out where to apply fixes to the issues as time goes on.
On April 19 2007 MS released the latest BC patch for the X360. At this time, the patch is on Xbox Live, so if your 360 is connected, simply putting any original Xbox game into your 360 will result in your machine getting the latest version of the BC emulator. For everyone else, you can download the latest patch here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardscompatibilityredirect.htm
This update added a lot of highly requested, fan favorite titles like Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, King of Fighters NEOWAVE, Phantom Dust and Panzer Dragoon Orta.
I will be posting detailed bug/glitch reports for the Xbox1 titles that I own based on this update. I invite everyone else to help me fill in gaps for titles I don't own or things I may have missed in titles I do own.
I don't want this to be taken or used as a criticism of MS's Back compat efforts - emulating the Xbox (which is a pretty powerful machine in it's own right) on completely different architecture is a feat in and of itself and probably the most impressive piece of software on the 360 (yeah, more impressive than Gears of War) and definately proves the 360 is a beast of a machine. My hope is that this can become a community effort that helps support the BC team in finding errors and glitches.
