How to Install Original Xbox Games on Xbox 360

Depending on which version of the Xbox 360 you own, your machine has the ability to play select classics from the original Xbox's game library. Games like "Halo," that you previously only enjoyed on the original Xbox console do not have to be lost in time if you don't want them to be. These games must be set up on your newer console in a very specific way in order to be played successfully. Namely, you have to update your console's operating system software.
