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.

Thought i should also post here!

I almost think I should just mod this thing, but is there any benefit to leaving it stock? I just wanna play OG xbox games man :(

    A quick Google I just did, and looking at some crap on reddit, the console needs an official hard drive. TIL there are unofficial hard drives that clip on to the top?

    Do you have an official hard drive clipped on to the top?

    The update file must be named something particular, I’m also finding.
