The newest titles for this month are:

BLACK?

Star Wars Battlefront? II

World Soccer Winning Eleven 9

I'd also check out previously added titles to see if any improvements have been made (for the one's suffering from bugs or low performance).

It's nice to see Black finally added, while the game isn't exactly what it was hyped to be, it's still a pretty title and seeing it at 720p with AA would be very nice.

Yes, it seems this is the case with Halo 2 as there was a mandatory Xbox Live update yesterday. But I'm not exactly sure what they changed/improved. Can anyone confirm?

FYI: The update will come down when you insert *ANY* original Xbox game. Not just one that was updated.

I see. So you're saying it was most probably an update to the emulation engine as a whole, eh? If that's true, that's kind of unfortunate as the subsequent patches may break/stop other games from working (or certain parts of other games) while adding new compatability for new ones. But let's hope not! (Y)

I retract my enthusiasm. :hmmm: The updater freezes whenever I try to update the backwards compatibility. :(

Edit: Nevermind. It was only when I tried updating while Fable was in. I popped in Halo 2 and it updated just fine. Odd....

I'm starting to think they actually were on vacation. No real update whatsoever until this month. And the update that WAS added this month is very small and only adds a few titles.

I really think they need to go faster and get the backwards compatibility to a bit more reasonable level. Don't get me wrong I was very surprised how much was supported when the 360 came out, it's just since then that the ball has dropped a bit.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
