New 360 Backwards Compatibility

Posted by Zonk on Friday December 9, 2005 @09:57AM from the you've-got-to-test-these-things dept.

Gamespot is reporting that a new update to the 360's backwards compatibility has been issued ... and just as promptly recalled. From the article: "Late last night, Microsoft updated the backwards-compatibility list with eight games from the trio of Tom Clancy-inspired series. Software emulators for Ghost Recon, Ghost Recon 2, Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike, Rainbow Six 3, Rainbow Six 3 Black Arrow, Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow, and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory all became available for download. However, within hours of the new update's release, reports began to circulate that it was causing problems with Halo 2. "

I did see it coming. Not because it's Microsoft. Doing an emulator for something like the SNES is hard. Imagine an Xbox. It's not surprising this happened, it was bound to happen, earlier or later.
