I've got the XBox360 - it's an amazing piece of hardware, I'm very happy with it, the actual relase first gen titles have amazing graphics when plugged into my HDTV projector and the title Kameo is espically refreshing and original AND most of all FUN!
I have a question however about the backwards compatibility???????
Mine seems to be a bit slow in some games.
Halo - better graphics, but it hitches, sorta like a memory load type hitch ever 30 seconds or so.
Fuzion Frenzy - downright SLOW, some of the levels that used to be so great are downright dumb slow...just seems like the emulator can't keep up the pace. Not dropped frames, but as in the whole level slows down to a crawl (slow motion type feel) and this was a very fast and furious game on the original xbox.
Crimson Skies - seemed normal
Dead or Alive 3 - the full motion video skips, but once your in a fight it plays perfectly. Also this game randomly locked up on me (the only time the xbox360 has locked up hard on me was in this emulator)
Ninja Gaiden - the load times seemed slower than on the original Xbox if that is possible, but the gameplay seemed fine once the loading screen went by.
Prince of Persia - seems fine
Is this mixed bag everyone's exp? Or did I get a sour unit on the emulation? I can't imagine that's the case because my actual 360 titles run smooth as silk and play flawlessly with the best graphics I've ever seen. I guess I was just hoping to get rid of the original xbox, but with the emulation being a bit "off" i don't know that I want to. I REALLY liked playing fuzion frenzy with my buds - it's a great party game, but it's pretty much unplayable on the xbox360 and seems to be the worst translation out of the titles I've tried.
Yes I know this is an "emulation" and I shouldn't expect perfection ---- Or shouldn't I?
