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.
Update: literally the only way it would work was by creating a stupid xbox live account and logging in so it would download the update. the 7 mb update i also tried burning onto disc and flash drive, wouldn’t take either one. Going to really suck when all those servers shut down. Thanks for your help yall
Yeah looks like i need to find a dumb windows pc to do it. Darn. Id just buy an og Xbox since they are cheap but I have way too many consoles as is
You can get the game compatibility update here. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12129
Is there a reason you don’t want to just connect it to your internet though? I feel like that would be the easiest way if you want it to be up to date anyways.
I actually tried and it would connect but I couldn’t log into my account. I hate giving m$ a fraction of my time sl id rather use the USB router but I think I may need to partition the drive rather than just update.
This is why Playstation is the better console!
