text: Changes in the list of compatible games over time[edit]

text: The original list for North America comprised 279 games and was released on November 11, 2005. The Japanese version of the Xbox 360 console was compatible with only 12 games, while the European version had 156 games.

text: 7 games were removed from the list due to bugs: Codename: Kids Next Door – Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E., Curse: The Eye of Isis, Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 4, 2002 FIFA World Cup, NBA Live 2003, Rugby 2005, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. 7 other games were also removed, but were then added back later: Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space, Catwoman, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Legends of Wrestling, Mortal Kombat: Deception, Pariah, and Sid Meier's Pirates!.

text: He-Man: Defender of Grayskull remains on the list even though the game was never released; it was cancelled by the developer before completion.

text: The last update for Xbox 360 backwards compatibility in North America was on November 27, 2007, raising the total number of Xbox games compatible with the Xbox 360 to 461,[1] which is approximately 51% of the original Xbox library in North America. The latest European update was in November, 2007,[citation needed] with a total of 476 compatible games. The latest update for Japan was released on November 28, 2007,[citation needed] with 122 working games.

text: How compatibility is achieved[edit]

text: According to Microsoft, each game requires an emulation profile to run[citation needed]. These profiles are downloaded from Xbox Live, or are downloaded manually from Xbox.com and burned on CD or DVD recordable media. They were also distributed as part of the content on the Official Xbox Magazine monthly discs, which were discontinued in 2012. The profiles are downloaded as a single bundle, thus only needing to be applied once per update if doing so offline, or are automatically downloaded the first time a compatible game is inserted.

text: An official Xbox 360 hard disk is required to play any of the games on this list.[2] The hard disk is used to store the emulation software, and also to store saved games, downloaded content, and to serve as a data cache for titles which utilize disk caching. Since games for the original Xbox were designed with the expectation that a hard drive always would be available, most titles rely heavily on its presence.

text: An early version of the emulator for playing Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 offline initially was included with the Xbox 360 hard drive at launch. Xbox 360 hard drives manufactured later included updated emulation profiles which allow a greater range of titles to be played out-of-the-box without updating. Whenever new emulation profiles are released, drives manufactured after that date include the latest update.

text: The original Xbox controller is not compatible with Xbox 360 due to a different connector and marginally different button layout. Specifically, there are no white and black buttons on the 360 controller; they were replaced by the "bumpers" found above the left and right triggers. When playing an Xbox game on Xbox 360 (using an Xbox 360 controller), the white button is mapped to the left bumper and the black button to the right.

text: List of compatible titles[edit]

text: In the following chart, any Xbox game with a "Yes" will work in that region, and also in others which have "Yes". "Yes" in the 60 Hz column indicates that the PAL title supports 60 Hz output mode, and thus is compatible with the Xbox 360 VGA cable.

text: A game with "Yes" in the widescreen column has built-in support for widescreen, and will fill high-definition displays. If the widescreen column is "No", pillar boxing is used to preserve aspect ratio on high definition displays (most HDTVs have an option to change or stretch the image to fill the screen). Note that all compatible games will stretch to widescreen, potentially distorting the aspect ratio, if the Xbox 360 is configured for standard definition (480i / 576i) or enhanced definition (480p / 576p). Certain games without the widescreen function can be "cheated" into being widescreen by changing the screen resolution to 480p in the Xbox 360 display settings menu. Some games still will have small black over-scan lines on the sides of the screen.

When VGA cables are used with 4:3 monitors, the image is compressed onto the narrow monitor as if running on a 16:9 widescreen television. The problem can be avoided by running the game at a resolution of 640x480.
DLC will corrupt if the 360's hard drive is used with another 360.

Some races suffer from slowdown, particularly 'Falcon Wing Circuit B'.
The game constantly changes from 720p at 4:3 screen ratio (for menus) to 480p at 16:9 ratio (for races); when an Xbox 360 is set to 720p or higher, it keeps the scaling at 4:3 all the time, which results in a "crunched" image. When set at 480p at 16:9, it keeps widescreen at all times. It seems unable to load existing Sega GT 2002 save files and may also corrupt save files.

Graphical: the black bars during cutscenes are slightly raised up revealing a slight part of the scene. Brief slowdown during crowded scenes in: Aberdeen, Green Market Qr. Stand Qr. in Kowloon & Greenfield in Guilin. All real-time shadows are missing in outside areas during the day. Arcade games: Space Harrier, Outrun & After Burner II, have slight graphical glitches in the HUD also the backgrounds in Outrun suffer from this. Changing the game's 'Filter' to a different color does not work and causes a brief pause. Camera snap shots cause a brief pause but works. Sound: during the crate moving part-time job at Fortune's Pier & Thousand White Warehouse in Kowloon, the "left & right" command sounds skip and the music skip & loops after a few minutes. A sound glitch at: Fortune's Pier (at night), South Carmain Qr. Wise Men's Qr. Golden Qr. Golden Qr. Shopping Mall & Path Through a Wood in Guilin cause the music and sound effects to skip & loop after a few minutes, sometimes the sound cuts off completely, especially in the Golden Qr. Pausing then resuming the game remedies this.

Has an issue where the light from the flashlight shines behind the character as well as in front. Textures can frequently load in wrong areas (such as door textures on the floor) or not load at all displaying only gray space. This includes the "picture" views. Later levels lose music and sound effects audio. Many "game over" events render the game unplayable, as game will not reboot once it has been shut off. One method to avoid corrupted saves is to only save to the first slot, and rewrite it on every save. Never save in more than one slot.

Graphics in 2-D are not displayed properly, resulting in lines dividing sections of the images, most noticeable at the title screen; they may also appear blurry (text, especially) but it's normal (a bug carried over from the original Xbox). The stage title screens have lines through them. All movies run at around 15 frames per second but is in sync with the audio. On the opening movie, the song has to repeat sections in order to stay in sync. During gameplay, button prompts are not sharp, and in-game dialogue may not be audible. And during every credits sequence, as well as the theme song for the team you cleared the story with playing in the background, their FMV's on the top left side will also have their audio on. And like with the opening movie, everything will play in time so that it'll all stay in sync. But afterwards, there will be total silence until the player gets sent back to the story select screen since the credits scroll slower because of the game trying to keep up with everything. The slowdown that occur in moments where there are many elements on the screen (mostly boss fights) is normal as it also happens in real hardware.

text: Compatibility[edit]

text: When an original Xbox game has been emulator patched in accordance to Microsoft instructions it still might refuse to play on the Xbox 360. The following error message displayed on the Xbox 360 dashboard signifies this failure:

text: This message is identical to the one displayed when trying to play an unsupported or unpatched game for the first time. At this time no reference to the significance of the X and B variables can be found on the Microsoft Xbox website. This may be related to international region compatibility; a Microsoft disclaimer notes

text: It should be noted that Microsoft terms the compatibility of Xbox titles on the Xbox 360 consoles as "backward compatibility" or "reverse compatibility", although in fact, it is the console that is being made backward/reverse compatible, and the titles are being made forward compatible.

text: Contrary to popular belief, custom soundtracks are still supported while playing Xbox games, though it requires connecting the 360 hard drive to the PC.[5]

text: PAL games that do not support PAL-60 can't be played using the VGA HD Cable.[6]

text: Additionally, many listed Xbox titles still contain emulation errors or glitches. These are often minor, but they may include problems with graphics, sound, loading and saving, or gameplay as well. In some cases, Microsoft updated the emulation profiles for individual titles, and the incidence of these issues were reduced or eliminated.

text: Occasionally, switching from 720p/1080i/1080p mode to 480p will make a previously unplayable game workable (assuming it's on the BC list). Changing the display setting, usually from widescreen to normal should fix any game on the list.

text: Currently, however, the only way to transfer saved files from the original Xbox to the 360 is through a special transfer kit which requires the original system's memory card, or a 'modded' Xbox, but without modding an Xbox, and this also limits saves that can be moved to those that can be stored on a memory card.

text: However, some game saves on the original Xbox cannot be moved due to either file restrictions or size limitations.

text: Another limitation applies to downloadable content, as no content can be moved between systems.

text: After market hard drives can cause compatibility problems that are resolved when using genuine Microsoft hardware.


document_title: Someone to Watch Over Me (Battlestar Galactica)

question_text: who was the piano player in battlestar galactica

root

text: Plot[edit]

text: Kara Thrace is depressed that her husband, Samuel Anders, is still in a coma, with little good news from Dr. Cottle concerning his condition. She has returned to a bleak daily routine after the events of her leading the fleet to Earth, when she had felt special, as if she had a purpose and knew what she was doing for the first time in her life. She is also plagued by nightmares of the body that was presumably her own, crashed on Earth.

tag: p

text: Thrace makes friends with the bar's piano player, and slowly reveals to him that her father used to play the piano too. During the process, she discusses her childhood and her feelings towards her father, who left the family and never contacted her or her mother again, much as the piano player did with his own family. Thrace assists the piano player with writing a new song. Eventually, he convinces a reluctant Thrace to play the piano too. The piano player shows affection towards Starbuck much in the same way her father did. Together they play a song she faintly remembers from her childhood, and eventually she realizes a drawing given to her earlier by Hera Agathon is not a drawing of stars, as Hera said, but a sequence of musical notes that matches the song from her memory.

text: Together, Thrace and the piano player reconstruct the song, which turns out to be the music the four of the Final Five present on Galactica heard throughout the events of Crossroads Pt. II. Saul Tigh, Ellen Tigh, and Tory Foster, who were all lingering in the bar while Thrace and the piano player were reconstructing the song, confront her about the song's origin, to which she replies that she used to play it as a child with her father. A flashback to Kara's childhood reveals that Kara's father looked exactly like the piano player. When Kara turns to the piano player, he has mysteriously vanished.

text: In the meantime, Sharon "Boomer" Valerii is about to be extradited by the Colonial fleet to the rebel Cylons, who plan to try her for treason for siding with Cavil. They seek the death penalty; now that there is no Cylon resurrection available anymore, death would be permanent. Boomer tricks Galen Tyrol into helping her to leave the Galactica by claiming that she still sees a future for them together. Through Cylon mental projection, she shows Tyrol a home she has "constructed" for them both, including their child.

text: She beats Sharon "Athena" Agathon and ties her up, putting her in a closet, just before Karl "Helo" Agathon walks in on them. She has sex with him, while the tied up Athena watches through an opening, gagged and unable to speak. She then kidnaps Hera, escapes by stealing a Raptor, and causes damage to the Galactica by performing an FTL jump too close to the ship. The episode ends with Tyrol's devastation after realizing that Boomer tricked him and he has unwittingly helped her kidnap Hera.

text: Writer David Weddle comments on Boomer's motives: "It's difficult to say someone who did that loves the Chief, and yet in her damaged way, I think she did and still does love him."[2]

text: Due to the musical focus in this episode, composer Bear McCreary was involved in production of the episode from the earliest drafts.[3][4][5] While attempting to compose a new song together with Kara Thrace, the piano player (Slick) moves his fingers across the keyboard searching for a melody, a riff which Thrace recognizes as sounding similar to a classical piece called “Nomion’s 3rd Sonata, 2nd Movement” which in actuality is the opening fanfare to the original Battlestar Galactica: a piece called “Exploration” written by Stu Phillips.[4]

text: Critical reception[edit]

text: Alan Sepinwall of The Star-Ledger found that the episode was an excellent showcase for both Katee Sackhoff and Grace Park, and praised director Michael Nankin who "[infused] this episode with the qualities of a nightmare."[6] Michael Saba of Paste Magazine called the episode an "exercise in building tension through omission" and felt the episode was "excellent".[7] IGN writer Eric Goldman praised the writers of the show for the plot turns in the episode, in particular the fact that Boomer's returning to the fleet with Ellen Tigh was in fact just a ruse. Goldman felt the subplot involving Kara was "a bit meandering" but that Katee Sackhoff and Roark Critchlow gave strong performances.[8] Cinema Blend felt the writers "threw a neat little curveball" with the Roark Critchlow piano playing character being Thrace's father.[9] Marc Bernardin of Entertainment Weekly felt the Boomer storyline was "awesome" but was less impressed by the storyline involving Thrace, feeling "that it didn't tell us anything new" and that the writers had written a very obvious ending to the subplot.[10]
