Just wish I had one game that's supported.
Everyone can get Hexic HD for free:

You can play it on Xbox 360 or Xbox One.

Excellent. Came free with my Xbox 360 launch console, I was hoping they'd make it freely available.

hopefully in the future they will support multi-disc games and dlc and improve the frame rate some more. the mass effect frame rate gameplay problems of running at between 5 and 10 frames less than the 360 version has me concerned as alot of game run on the unreal 3 engine

There's a few there I have, would like to restart on ME3, never really got into it on the 360, but would like to give it another shot, on X1 though.

New Vagas is another I'd retry.

I thought Fallout 3 was guaranteed to be on the backwards compatibility as this is being included with Fallout 4 on the X1 and I guess it's going to be the 360 version.

People can vote for any game, hence the 18 already announced aside, I'd imagine they're all fair game. Even if they're already on the way.

I'm just glad to see ME and CoD placing so highly. The only reason I still have a 360.

Been playing through the first Mass Effect using this, very impressed with how it works. All saves imported and it runs very well.

Yes but I don't think we can truly judge how well how it works until it's finished testing and rolls out to everyone.

DLC just needs publisher approval, same as with the games themselves.

Support for multi-disc games is being worked on.

I thought it was in a pretty impressive state considering it's still in a preview stage, I've hardly noticed any frame rate drops like in that digital foundry video. Didn't even know it was an issue until you just said and from my subsequent google.

Just set it all up now and have a question if anyone can help

When you used to play games on 360 you could press the home button and it would bring up the little dashboard screen to look at achievements and such. Is there anyway to do this on the emulator as pressing that button on xbox one just takes to you to home screen

Why would you need the 360 Guide?

If you double-tap the Xbox button, it will bring up the Xbox One's snap centre, which has shortcuts to Messages, Achievements, etc.

Just hit the menu and view buttons together on the controller and this brings up the 360 mini guide.

As I am downloading the free 360 game for the month from the website as cant figure out how to do it via console as just lets me get x box one games. On the website it says it will download as soon as i sign onto my 360 profile and as I cant see if its been done I thought i might be able to if i can see my 360 dashboard.

To the other poster just DM and ill send you an invite
