I've been searching forums last night and a lot today about playing Xbox Classic games on a Jtagged xbox. I've downloaded the hacked files off xbins, placed them in Partition 2 compatibility folder and it will always give me this message "The game couldn't start. Try downloading the game again." Now I have 6 xbox hard drives for testing, 3 legit ones (2 20GB, 1 60GB), 3 hacked ones (120GB, 320GB, 500GB). I've tried on all, and figured out that yes for regular xbox classic games to play that you actually downloaded (from microsoft) they will work on my legit ones but nothing works with these "Hacked files". Only 1 time have I got it to go to the xbox screen like it was loading and it freezes... and I tried a game that should work (Halo 2).

Asking anyone who has gotten xbox classic games working on their jtagged xboxs to give me some advice. I've tried loading the xbe's from FSD, XeXMenu off a flash drive, burnt DVD, Xbox hard drive... lol i'm out of ideas...:confused: :facepalm:

Any help would be appreciated

They boot fine for me, I convert my xbox iso to the folder format by using xiso to extract them.

I've done that as well, extracted the ISO and tried running them from XeXmenu or FSD and it will actually load to the "XBOX" screen as if it's trying but nothing after. I figured out that I had to transfer the compatibility files via XeXmenu to HDDx as xplorer360 seems to work like sh*t. Anyways still nothing though, a game like Halo2 that appears it works according to others on numerous forums doesn't work. Tried other games as well like Silent Hill4 and 2 which are supposed to be working on the compatibility list....:confused: ugh, it was easier for me to learn how to solder and reset glitch 360's than this lol.

Also does anyone have the compatibility files download link other than xbins? Maybe the ones I am using are screwed?? Or is anyone else using the ones off xbins and work?
