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.

    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.
