Question, are the games uprezzed in any way, or is it just running the exact, native version of the game? It doesn't matter to me either way, but I am pretty curious.
This is some next level black magic. How are they emulating a 3.2 ghz PPC on that slow netbook CPU? Are there any technical articles about this?
My guess-- they ported over the 360 APIs to XB1, and then for any custom low level machine language code, they're using CPU emulation. But its probably heavily customized per game to get as much speed as possible. There's no way they are doing full on 100% accurate CPU emulation. It's got to be mostly HLE.
It's the native version. Game thinks it is running on 360. They are upscaled by the scaler of course, but not rendered at a higher res. Maybe they'll change that in the future once they are satisfied with compatibility
I previously compared it to VGS versus Bleem! and I think that comparison holds up

Microsoft won E3 when they announced it I can play my 360 games on xbox one and its free.
Sony has not responded or has yet i hope they will because it will look bad if they continue charging people to stream PS3 games

They responded saying no: http://www.vg247.com/2015/06/17/pla...wing-xboxs-lead-with-backwards-compatibility/
So I've tested 2 games, Perfect Dark and Alien Hominid HD.
I am very impressed.
No major issues, however I did have Perfect Dark freeze a couple of seconds at one point. But nothing major.
Now I'm just waiting for Gears of War Judgement and Red Dead Redemption to be added.
Usually, I don't bother getting into who "won" E3... but believe me, 10 years from now, we'll still remember Sony's conference this year.
That's because some of the games they announced will come out that year....
Sorry too tempting to let it go.
Has anyone tried any games from XBLA compilation discs?
I have Geo Wars on an XBLA Vol.1 disc, but am unsure of how it will work if the other games on the disc are not compatible (I forget what's on there).
Not got an XB1 yet, but still interested in how it works.
I seem to remember the games showing up mixed in with my Games library if the disc was inserted, but also launchable from a menu on the disc. It's been a while since I've played them.
Wow, I somehow still have my steelbook PD: Zero. I forgot how terrible this game was. Never thought I would play it again in my lifetime. Pretty sure I tried to trade it it on multiple occasions, but no one would take it. lol
Also, is it the emulation or was the framerate always this atrocious? I'm pretty sure it dipped into the single digits during the firefight at the end of the first level. Coupled with the slow controls and motion blur, it was the first game in a long time that made me feel sick.
Doing it on a game by game basis is gonna take a hell of a lot of work. Props to MS. They really didn't have any obligation to do this.
The way those discs worked is they just showed up as installed games on your 360. So you could go directly to Games > My games and launch them from there.
Gonna assume in this case that your Xbox One will just recognize them like that and prompt you to download them separately.

Kind of a shame that so many of the currently supported games are Rare titles.
I mean, it's great that the support is there, but I kind of want to hold off re-playing them with that Rare collection round the corner.
There should be a thread called Xbox Preview Invite on the front page. Just do a search.How do I get invited to the program?
How did you manage to get it to work, it didn't allow me to start the disc up or anything when I inserted mine. I have the latest preview build and everything.

The frame rate was quite bad on the 360 as well as I remember. The standards were not good back then. I tried Splinter Cell Double Agent again some time and holy tearing.Wow, I somehow still have my steelbook PD: Zero. I forgot how terrible this game was.

They said it is one emulator/vm for every game (unless issues appear) -- they are not doing game by game profiles like 360->xbox.
It's just a beta filled with first party titles

I agree Microsoft and Bethesda won
Sadly, no. The XBLA compilation disc doesn't work - tried it last night (the one with Wik, Hexic, GeoWars, etc.). And from what I remember, you couldn't do that with the first XBLA compilation disc, you actually had to run the disc which had a separate launcher which then could boot each game individually. Unless they updated it at some point with a patch, haven't played it in years.
Are you in NA? Only NA discs work during the beta
Q: Why are my Disc based copies of approved games are not working?
A: Currently we are only supporting game discs from the North America region. We are working on making all games available via disc. This will be fully supported when the program launches for everyone.
MS won over the holy trinity? How?
I have an Xbone and all, but I don't see how the holy trinity can be beaten.
Not saying who was better, but the biggest issue with the "Holy Trinity" is when? I hope sooner than later but I don't think so.
I'm guessing 2018 for shenmue and 2019 for FF7.Two of those games are already late 2017 at the earliest. That is so far out. If they are progressing along we will see them at two more E3s. TLG is allegedly 2016.
Aren't two of the "Holy Trinity" also coming out on PC?

For those wanting to understand how BC is working start watching here on the GB Live video.
Spencer goes into detail on the thought process behind it and the tech:
