Xbox Originals Broken: Known Problems List Avaiable Prior To Release
It should not come as a huge shock that the Xbox Originals packages are not going to be perfect. What IS a shock to me is that Microsoft is admitting that there will be issues (ranging from minor to almost critical) before the platform even launches.
The webpage itemizes each title and their various problems. Lock-ups, flicker and frame rate issues aside, it is a good thing Microsoft is listing all these issues now before people have spent their hard earned money on them. It is a safe bet that a good number of the issues will likely be fixed before the launch, but keeps your eyes on this list if you plan on snagging a few titles. It may be a rocky road ahead for their budding new platform.
Xbox Originals is scheduled to launch December 4th, with the fall Dashboard update.

Having a few issues with emulating old games doesn't surprise me at all. I do find it refreshing, as you mention Asterick, that there seems to be very little spin on the handful of issues.
It's nice when there are clear expectations given to the public up front so that everyone is on the same page when launch comes.
Am I the only one not surprised? It's like a physical copy of windows. Maybe the 65nm units are analogous to SP2?
(Only joking of course) :-D
