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.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      I understand Microsoft's intention here, at least I think I do. There have been so many printer driver related problems over the years due to OEM printer drivers not be compatible with the latest Windows update, that Microsoft wants to eliminate those by controlling the printer driver updates and keeping them compatible with the latest Windows update. That is okay as far it goes, but what it can do is put limitations on printers that wouldn't be there with OEM drivers since the OEM printer drivers are not universal drivers. It's a tradeoff and one can only hope it doesn't turn all Windows printers into $69 Brother printers.
    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      Vivaldi is a very unique browser. It's the only chromium based browser that has its own powerful and fully customizable UI. It even supports CSS like firefox based browsers do. If someone wants a powerhouse chromium based browser, Vivaldi is actually his only option. All other chromium based browsers just tweak the vanilla chromium UI. It also comes from an ethical company that has proved its ethics all these years. Something very rare in the chromium world... (all other companies which develop chromium based browsers own an ad company, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera etc).

      I really wish Zoom would have been the collaboration tool most organizations ended up with. Teams is garbage.

      While I agree that in some instances you should be wary of the government, shouldn't we also be wary of corporations that have the money, reach and power of many governments? Having good regulations is essential for population protection (from corps trying to make more money than the other guy). At least we can vote in and out governments, but these days your choice of consumer tech is now only a few very large players. And we also know "consumers" are idiots and need protecting, it's literally the government's job to deliver those services.
