It pains me to even post this here but apparently the xbox is "retro" now. oh boy.
Anyway - my problem. I thought for sure that OG xbox games would work on a 360s, as long as they were on the backward compatible list. well, my luck, none of the ones i got work and they're all on the list. I tried updating the 360 from a flash drive, it won't detect the update. I can't find a menu option to update. I would rather not connect it to my internet to update either if possible.
I tried reformatting the flash drive on the xbox itself then moving the update folder to it, that didn't work, neither did formatting on the pc first either. I cleared the cache of the xbox hard drive (it has an official M$ 250GB drive).
It is not modded in any way.
Anyone have a fix for the manual usb update? This is a glossy xbox 360 Slim, for reference.
Update: literally the only way it would work was by creating a stupid xbox live account and logging in so it would download the update. the 7 mb update i also tried burning onto disc and flash drive, wouldn't take either one. Going to really suck when all those servers shut down. Thanks for your help yall
Retro consoles shouldn't have hard drives, or internet access.
You put the cartridge in, you turn the power on, and you sip your capri sun because it's 1990, and you're 7 years old, and the world isn't a dumpster fire.
Time to play super mario bros 3, as was the style at the time.
The original Xbox is older now than Super Mario Bros 3 was when the Xbox came out.
Almost twice as old, actually.
Hey man, just because it's right doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
Youre correct lol.
I only have it cuz it came with the n64.
Xbox 360 was right when Enshittification started getting unbearable.
But yes my Genesis is definitely fun
It started with the fucking avatars
Then the microtransactions came, and i didnt use microtransactions, so I said nothing...
