The arcade system is definately backwards compatible if you buy a UK hard drive. My arcade system won't play Oringinal Xbox games as my Hard Drive is from Hong Kong too. So far, i've:
Tried my Original games on another system - They work fine,
Tried a UK Hard drive on my system - Games work fine,
Tried my hard drive on another system - Games dont work
The only link to any of it is that the Hard Drive was from Hong Kong. I've spent a week so far emailing MS support but with no joy. Tried the clear system cache button combo but that doesn't work, nor does updating the system software with a CD. I've rung MS support but they don't know what it is and so my problem has been "elevated" and someone from MS is meant to be ringing me back within 72hrs.
The actual drive works fine to save/load game data so it must be a software issue with Hong Kong drives. When i got it i formatted the drive so it must be software on the drive that doesn't get wiped when formatted through the console. This is doing my head in now, especially because no-one on the support phone lines or email knows what to do! Aargh! :cry:
Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
