New System Update & More Backwards Compat Games

We posted two updates last night.

New System Update:

This update has no new features. It only addresses a font issue that consoles with a language set to Chinese would have seen. (System Version for this new update is 2.0.2858)

There are no other changes in this build. In fact there were no other code changes at all, as this was just the change of a single font file added to the update package.

Backwards Compatibility Update

Version 1.4 of the Back Compat emulator now supports these additional titles:

1. 4x4 EVO 2
2. Amped® 2
3. Bad Boys 2
4. Big Mutha Truckers
5. DOOM 3®
6. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
7. Fatal Frame™
8. FlatOut™
9. Grabbed by the Ghoulies™
10. Intellivision Lives
11. LEGO® Star Wars®
12. Minority Report
13. MLB SlugFest 20-04
14. The Punisher™
15. RalliSport Challenge
16. Silent Hill® 4: The Room
17. Spawn® Armageddon
18. Spider-Man
19. Star Wars Battlefront™
20. State of Emergency
21. Zapper™

Additional Japanese-only titles:

Bistro Cupid 1
Flight Academy
Othello Seminar
Igo Seminar
Shogi Seminar
Mahjong Seminar

For those Xbox 360 owners that do not have access to Xbox Live, Xbox.com will be updated soon with instructions on how to download this update through your PC soon.

Personally I’m super excited about 2 of these titles that are now supported; Amped® 2, as I was part of the team that produced this game, and LEGO® Star Wars®, as this was the one game my kids cannot put down. Finally I can retire my original Xbox!

The Back-Compat team is already hard at work on the next version. As always we look to user feedback on which titles to target first so please send feedback to backcomp@microsoft.com

    Thanks guys for the hard work!  I too am happy that LEGO Star Wars made the list!  I don't want to sound like I'm begging but Psychonauts next version?  Please?

    I have sent this request in to the email address a month or so ago along with LEGO Star Wars =)

    Getting closer...  Hopefully you are close to getting Rallisport Challenge 2 to work since you knocked out the first one this round.

    Great work guys; I look forward to other future BC updates. Please just don't tell us you are quitting becuase no one cares! That's not true, we apperciate all of your hard work and effort making the 360 into the multimedia beast it is today and will be tomorrow. =)

    Finally, one of the games I actually own appears on the backward compatability list. Now if I can only just get Conker: Live and Reloaded as well as Phantom Dust  and Panzer Dragoon Orta there, I'll be happy.   Thanks for continuing the hard work though.

    Wow, why haven't you put counter strike in there?  Just because it's an old title doesn't mean it can't be supported on the 360, look at halo 2!  Before halo 2... counterstrike was always in the top three.  We would all appreciate it since many XBL users still enjoy CS.

    Awww.... No Morrowind? Too bad, I'd love to see that on the X360 :( It'd be nice if a lot of the glitches also fixed hinthint. Not making you do anything but hinthint. Just kiddin' :) Keep up the good work guys! A lot of people are longing to see Morrowind on the X360, including me :)

    It's good to see more games added obviously I've got a couple I'd like to see there but I know its a numbers versus difficulty game.

    While we're talking about updates though; whatever happened to .net alerts? We were told spring 2006 back when Live was '360fied' last year but since not even a word - I really miss knowing when friends are coming on when I'm offline - I know traditionally you guys don't seem to reply to comments on here but it'd be great to hear that somewhere something is happening.

    Can the next update have the 360 send a Magic Packet out when connecting to the Media Center. Most Dell cards don't support Wake on Ping which I believe the 360 sends.

    Come on. :( Why can't you guys make on of your own games, Midtown Madness 3, backwards compatible? :( I was a fan of the series when it still was on PC. Number 3 only came out on the Xbox but as I didn't had an Xbox I was unable to play it. Now I got an Xbox360 and I would really like to be able to play it on my 360. :(

    Sadly until there's native DivX and AVI support, and the ability to attach to either a USB HDD or Ethernet NAS device with the content on and navigate to it... I can't see this becoming the media hub it should and could be.

    I have a lot of old VHS movies/shows that I've captured as DivX. Can play them back on my MCE. But without some fiddling I can't get the content out of the study into the loungeroom where the Xbox360 lives. So the family are not that happy.

    An option to run the fans a bit quieter would be a big bonus as well!

    why isn't one of the real(!) top-selling titles like PGR2 on the BC-list ?!?!? 7.48 million pieces sold, but after 3 years cannot be used on the xbox360 any more !!! no good practice in penetrating a market for a long-term. gamers will switch to ps, if ms keeps up that way. zwangsjacke.

    TOCA 3!  You dont even need to mess with the game to BC it, Like you did Halo2. Graphics Looks like a 360 game, You dont need to update it microsoft. Less work, Im sure you would like that. Im not even buying Forza Motorsport 2, TOCA and my good ol' Xbox is good enough.
