Can I play 360 games on the original Xbox?

Question

Where are the firmwares?

Community Answer

You have to get the firmware from the website that is shown in the guide. Once on the website, you will have to make sure you download the most updated firmware. If you get an older firmware, the disc drive will not work if you put in a burned disc.

Question

Can I use the SATA cables from my desktop PC instead of buying a SATA-to-USB cable?

Community Answer

Probably so. If it gets detected as a drive in your file manager and/or in the device management, then you're good to go.
