An emulation of xbo360 is running with a better framerate and totally v-synced (no tear-screen) on the XBO, I think this is a remarkable achievement and maybe future BC games can not only emulate the same quality as the original, but improve it like in this case.

Any thoughts?

Nuts & Bolts runs pretty bad on my XBO... Was it the same 15 - 20 fps on 360?



This is nothing new, regarding Xbox and backwards compatibility. Didn't Morrowind run much better on 360 than on the OG Xbox?



Great . Now let's see the Xbox One running something else other than a 10 year old puzzle game at better frame rates than the game running on original hardware.

Nop, it is the worst performance of Rare Replay sadly. At least the good games work properly :P

Emulation is not a joke, there is not even a emulator of x360 on internet at this moment, it requires a lot of thought and a very good hardware to work.



Can someone please post the complete official list of BC games ?



I am glad to see Viva Piñata running well on the Xbox One. It's actually one of my favorite 360 games along with the glorious Marble Blast Ultra.

With regards to what other people have said about emulation, I can't imagine that the Xbox One is doing brute force emulation of the 360. Emulation has gotten progressively harder and harder since the sixth generation. You still need a surprisingly powerful PC to be able to emulate PS2 and Gamecube games effectively -- and both are really spotty with regards to which games work well, and it's an absolute nightmare to try to get the sound to work right on Dolphin.

Alas, gone are the days of being able to emulate the PS1 on a Dreamcast.



It doesn't improve the most important thing unfortunately, the low limits to everything.
A remake or reboot would be awesome. I hated having to delete things to try different combinations, just to find out I needed something back I had just got rid off.



I guess this kind of thing will vary from game to game. Either improvement like this, or 15 fps in Mass Effect. Interesting to see how Gears games perform, especially Gears 3
