Didnt xbox to 360 backwards compatibility SLIGHTLY improve the graphics?

Why not make a original Xbox emulator.
Shouldn't that even be easier for Microsoft to do than it was for this to happen? The Xbox One and original Xbox architecture are much more similar than the Xbox One and 360 architecture, unless I'm mistaken.

Okay so I am a preview member. Now what?
Do you own any of the supported games? If it's a disc, put it in the Xbox One. If it's digital, go to my games and apps, scroll to the right, and the applicable games should be there as ready to install
I was just screwing around and made a Banjo Tooie clip. I don't know why the overscan is so bad.

How do you bring up the 360 guide? The quest said you could do this and I couldn't figure out how (or know why you would). It was kind of interesting how all the popups saying friends online, etc were 360 style.

Not likely under your GT as you can only be logged into one 360 at a time on your GT.
If it is a disc game, you'll also need the disc in whichever console you are using.
Now if it is a digital game you can take advantage of the 360 licensing system. Have all the physical console licenses on your real 360. Then your wife could play those on the real 360 under HER GT, while you play the digital versions on the Xbox One under YOUR GT.
It would be a lot smarter (and simpler) to create an OG Xbox emulator for the One than to emulate inside an emulated system.
I was talking farther down the line. With BC for digital libraries active, there is a business reason to keep the servers up. Without BC, there is a higher chance that those older servers would come down sooner. Look at the original Xbox. Xbox Live v1 was decommissioned. There is no way to access DLC or XBLA games from that system if your original system dies aside from hacking/modding.
It should be just like running them on a real 360, no better, no worse, if the emulator is ideal. In reality there will likely be small differences, but it shouldn't be anything huge if the team did their job right.

Remedy, you better support Alan Wake for backwards compatibility now that this is a thing.
That's in the image that was used for the announce on Twitter.

Why not make a original Xbox emulator.
Lol Essentially that'll make the most logical sense. They should do that. There are a lot of GREAT Xbox games that deserve some love too.
However if they're lazy about it, emulation-ception would be a good alternative.

I am hoping that this happens too. All Xbox games on one console would be godlike

I thought some of the network features of Xbox were shut off for the OG Xbox? This might cause problems with some games.

They could put a disclaimer before the game boots or something.
Or bring back the OG Xbox Live

Yeah I'm not even sure if that would be an issue. Just a thought. But I agree 100%.

Can they emulate a 360, emulating an original Xbox, running Shenmue II?
I'd get an Xbox in an instant if that was the case

What happens when you press the Xbox button?
On the controller? It goes to the Xbox One home. If you press the menu and select buttons at the same time it pops up the 360 guide

So after struggling to figure out why Banjo N+B and Small Arms do not appear as ready to install on the One...I'm just now finding out that neither show up as purchased for me on xbox.com. Both show up in my purchase/download history but if I go to the product page, it wants to charge me again if I click "buy" it with the same account that already owns the license. This is weird. I bought VP:TiP on the same day as Banjo N+B and no issues there.
Probably not the only two games in my purchase history that are going to be like this either. The all digital future scares me guys.

Your Xbox One is emulating an entire Xbox 360 with the game loaded
Basically emulation.
But they are both x86 systems, so Xbox One doesn´t have to emulate a completely different CPU for this.

Ok, so do I download an app or what from the store, is it bundled with a firmware upgrade, I want to try this.

Will be fascinating to see how this all works.

I bet its a 360 VM, throw enough cores and RAM at something at it will run. Not to mention that the 360 uses DirectX and even though it was PowerPC it was similar to a PC. I never thought they would dedicate resources to it, but Phil Spencer continues to surprise and delight me with the way he turned that ship around.
PS3 to PS4 emulation would be an entirely different beast, the cell would be a bear to write a VM for.

Can someone please send me an invite to Xbox Preview, I just learned it's invitation only.
Yes, they unlock 360 achievements.

It is a virtual 360. If the games have achievements...then they have achievements.
thanks. dont see a reason to download it as ill be getting the Rare collection but its good to know anyway.
i WILL be downloading Super Meat Boy, though.

Yeah my PAL (Australia) copy won't install, tells me to check Xbox.com for supported games.
Man... Really want kameo to work too, Top game!!
I kindof doubt that. spreading it out over more cores would be incredibly messy and I don't think each core is powerful enough to do emulation. I'm guessing you download a converted executable

sorry, this has probably been answered several times already. But there wasnt an answer in that xbox video. Do you have to keep the disc in the console after you download a game? I am assuming you do, or people could exploit the hell out of it
