    I had some original XBOX games that I still like to play (but don't have an Original XBOX anymore) that I finally decided to rip/extract to my RGH XBOX 360. I used the "Extract" feature in FreeStyleDash to extract them; placed them in my 'Classic' games path. They all appear in the Library.

    As soon as I launch them, I get an ugly error saying "Game not support on this console" ... something like that.

    I checked and all 3 games I tried are on this list of XBOX Games compatible with 360:
    http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-other-devices/original-console/play-original-games

    These are the 3 games I've tried:

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
    BLACK

    I also have Doom 3 for the Original XBOX I was planning to rip.

    The screen talks about "may require software update", but since this is an RGH, I don't take it Online.

    So is there a trick to this? Any advice?

    Thanks.

    Holy crap!! Didn't realize all this was required. Thought it was simply plug n play!

    Thanks Losparo - Appreciate it!

    EDIT:

    PS - Just wanted to add that tutorial worked! Everything working fine now. Thanks again.
